At a Glance...
Our prenatal experience, starting from
before conception, as well as our birth and the few years after that
are of prime importance and define the life experience as
children and adults on all levels. During pregnancy, mother and child
share the same environment and whatever mother feels and
experiences immediately influences the prenate.
Years of studies in the field of prenatal psychology have
shown the importance of providing for the prenate and how this care
can transform our human experience. A healthy Prenatal/ Perinatal
strategy should focus on removing all and any stressful
information from the maternal environment on a micro, meso and macro
level and reinforce optimal Prenatal and Perinatal bonding and attachment.
Since, the most effective Health Promotion Programs are
those that focus on the primordial human experience, the
Prenatal program Welcome adds value to our children’s life as
individuals and as a society.
The program establishes & improves healthy prenatal
bonding and leads to secure attachment, reduces stress, protects the (un)born
child from depression and carcinogenesis later on in life, reduces post-partum
depression, supports peace and creates civilization!
Professionals can get all knowledge both theoretical &
practical guidance they need to be able to run the program with those pregnant
couples they see in their practice. They get all the material needed to effectively
run the program and updates when they come out.
