three part course

Discovery and meeting the little one's heart

Welcome, trauma and healing

With Cherionna Menzam-Sills
The moment of discovery of a pregnancy is momentous not only for the parents but also for the baby.  Profoundly sentient even at this very early stage of development, the little embryo senses, responds and remembers the environment it grows in, as is true for any cell or organism.

At the time of discovery, usually coinciding with the heart forming and beginning to beat, the little one is completely dependent on the parents’ welcome and protection for survival.

In this course, Cherionna Menzam-Sills guides you in practices to facilitate healing of imprints from this stage of gestation. This can be beneficial for self-development as well as supporting parents-to-be in welcoming their child at discovery.
Cherionna, PhD has been teaching Embodied Embryology through somatic movement since 1997. She holds a PhD in Pre- & Perinatal Psychology and taught at Naropa University and the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. She teaches facilitates re- and Perinatal Psychology/Therapy, Continuum, a Mindful Movement Practice, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

In this course, you will:

  • Practice listening mindfully from the heart
  • Develop skill in being with potentially activating material relating to prenatal trauma
  • Learn about the embryological developmental milestone called “discovery,” referring to when pregnancy is discovered/confirmed
  • Enhance awareness of embryonic sentience and potential trauma at the time of discovery
  • Practice essential skills for recognizing and facilitating resolution of discovery trauma
