Rachel Smith (they/she) is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Practitioner. They grew up on unceded Monacan territory known as Charlottesville, VA and have always felt deeply rooted in the community and in the land itself, particularly the Blue Ridge mountains. Smith attended the Virginia School of Massage and completed studies there in 2002. They went on to graduate from the University of Virginia with a degree in Studies in Women and Gender. Since their late teens, Smith has been involved in anti-violence work; they helped to found the Virginia Anti-Violence Project - an organization that addresses sexual violence, intimate partner violence and hate violence in the LGBTQ community. They also served on the state board of the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance for 6 years.
After having 2 (of their 3) children, Smith shifted the focus of their commitment to helping people in a more direct, hands-on way. Their own experience of birth helped change their relationship with their body; they knew after giving birth to their first child that the experience of being able to feel and trust into their body was transformative and life-changing. Given how challenging the prenatal and perinatal time can be, particularly for Black and Brown folx, LGBTQIA2S+ folx, neurodivergent folx and folx with disabilities, Smith knew they wanted to help other birthing parents feel supported and resourced around this tender time. They have been studying Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics with Kate White since 2017 and have assisted in workshops and trainings she has held for participants coming from all over the world including Australia, Lebanon, Serbia, and California.
Smith offers in-person and zoom sessions that take a holistic, somatic, and trauma-informed approach to helping people address trauma and challenges in pursuit of living and loving their best lives.Website: mindfulmassagecville.com

Jerusha is a doula, and birth photographer & videographer based in Sydney. She trained as a doula in 2006 through Childbirth International, and has since worked extensively as a birth and postnatal doula in both London and Sydney.
Jerusha found the beauty of birth so captivating that she soon trained in photography so she could capture the magic of what she was seeing with her doula clients, to provide lifelong visual memories of their birthing experience. She soon also moved in to videography, creating birth films for the women she supported. She photographs pregnancy, birth and families on a regular basis.
Jerusha won the 2019 Postpartum category in the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers Competition, and was finalist in the 2019 Australian College of Midwives Birth Photography Competition.
Her portraits of birthing women were exhibited in the Motherlove exhibition, both at the Creative Space Gallery in Curl Curl, and later the Royal Hospital for Women in 2019.
Capturing and supporting births is her deep passion and hence the seed of creating a documentary for, and about birthing women was planted long ago.
Jerusha is a proud volunteer member of Heartfelt, an organisation that gives the gift of photographic memories to families experiencing stillbirth, with premature babies or critically ill children.
Jerusha also has a background in acting, gaining an Advanced Diploma in Stage and Screen Acting at ACTT in 2001. Since then she has worked as an actor, in casting and in film production. This experience both in front of, and behind the camera fed in to the creation of Birth Time: the documentary.
Jerusha is a mother to a five year old fire cracker and a gorgeous baby girl.

I asked Nir Esterman to return for us to have a conversation about his shadow work. Our last conversation had several short explorations of several topics, so in this podcast, we had a longer conversation about how we can be better leaders, teachers and therapists.
After 30 minutes, Nir asks a set of hard questions that are simple indicators that your shadow is in operation. They include:
What is going on? Am I really myself now?Am I representing something for someone?Am I caught up in a dynamic?Am I becoming judgmental towards someone?Am I becoming superior?Do I feel repulsed by someone?Do I act differently toward this client and student than with other ones?Am I attracted to the student?Is there something in someone I like and I like in myself?I am asking these questionsNir Esterman (M.Sc), A teacher of Family Constellations and Embodied Shadow Work. The developer of the Shadow Constellations approach. A body psychotherapist (Grinberg method).
Nir is a staff member in the Constellation Path school, the Systemic Trauma online University and Embodiment facilitator course Russia.

This episode features a conversation with two practitioners:
Elisheva Rose Khalfin Elbaz, MSc, BCST, PLC, PPNE, PPNP (they/them):
"My personal experience with pregnancy loss in my early twenties and my family lineages of healing practice inspired me to do this work. I started my practice in 2011, and I am a somatics practitioner, craniosacral therapist, full-spectrum doula, and facilitator. I am also a student of traditional Yehudi/Ivri healing practices. I work with parents, babies, and adults, healing trauma related to the perinatal period (preconception through postpartum) and childhood, intergenerational patterns, and supporting teens and adults in exploring gender and sexual identity. My academic background is in Narrative Medicine, and I used to teach clinical relational skills to medical students. I am Yehudi/Ivri and white European, with a mixed class background. I’m trans, queer, and neurodivergent. Witnessing the grave lack of embodied anti-racist education in perinatal psychology trainings, inspired me to co-create this project. I currently live on Lenni-Lenape land, in West Philadelphia, and grew up on Duwamish land, in Seattle, WA." See more about them at: elishevaelbaz.com
Shanna M. Williams, LCSW, MEd, PMH-C (she/her)
"My personal and professional experiences as an African American woman dealing with motherhood, mental health, trauma and resilience led me to develop my own business, S.W. Doula, in 2017. As the owner and lead practitioner, I provide integrative Perinatal wellness services, Lactation care, Clinical counseling and Professional consultation services to those at increased risk of negative emotional & physical health outcomes during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

https://prenatal-and-perinatal-healin...
About the Course: Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy in 1905 wrote about how diseases such as Diphtheria acted as a sort of shock to the waters in the body which disrupted nerve conduction therefore "tapping off the lymph" and creating fermentation and heat in the system around the organs. Carey Benenson Taussig D.O.(M.P.) a traditionally trained manual Osteopath teaches about how to guide relief to the system as she teaches how to apply biodynamic visceral manipulation techniques and meditative palpation acknowledging the "in-between" spaces between the organs where this bubbling fermentation may be calling for attention. This heat may trigger a continuous over-reactivity of the immune system and slug momentum to the lymphatic system which ultimately disrupts the endocrine system creating often an inflammatory spin.
In her teachings, Carey connects with the potency of nature and often refers to the lymphatic system of the forest and the frequency of the bees. As outlined in her article from Massage Magazine, she also teaches students within their scope of practice on how to work with clients both online and in-person as sometimes clients may be in isolation for medical reasons. Offering technique videos and recorded meditations that also help the practitioner support their clientele, this is a four course program that also taps into her work that she did in her specialized studies on Lyme disease that she completed in 2014 which has then grown with her own clinical and meditative work that she has done over the past 8 years.
Four Phases will be discussed and outlined in the four courses:
The Recognition and Unwinding of the Predisposition
The Moment of Impact and the Reactivity of the Mechanism
The Dehydration and Call for Restoration Phase of Disease
The Rebuild and Pathway of Care According to the Individual Hive Mind Philosophy
The Fee is $495 per class, paid for over 4 months. We have a coupon for $50 off the first course for you: https://prenatal-and-perinatal-healin...

Today on the show I have Dr. Jennifer Franklin. We met several years ago as we were studying the stress and threat responses of the nervous system. Please listen to this fascinating conversation about the psycho-physiology of digestive disorders, especially how we need to cultivate more parasympathetic experiences for ourselves in our lives. We NEED this!
One of the first “gastropsychologists” in the US, Dr. Franklin is an experiential, somatically-oriented, mindfulness-based psychologist, specializing in the treatment of Psychophysiologic Disorders (PPD), especially digestive PPD. Dr. Franklin began her career on the heels of having suffered greatly herself from digestive PPD. A year of psychotherapy as a teenager kick-started her healing process and made her acutely aware of the powerful relationship between mind and body, and then over the course of graduate school, she recovered completely. For over two decades, Dr. Franklin has been providing psychotherapy, teletherapy, and consultation to individuals, couples, and families. She has taught Vipassana and mindfulness meditation, served as an associate editor for the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, given talks on the brain-gut connection and healing the gut, and started a website and YouTube channel to offer patients and health-care providers valuable information about how to promote healing.
