21. William Emerson: The Secrets of Baby and Inner Baby Treatment

The Secrets of Baby and Inner Baby Treatment

Four decades ago, William Emerson made a significant discovery that revolutionized his work with adults and enabled him to develop pre- and peri=natal (PPN) treatment methods for babies and children. These discoveries and practices became one of his major legacies in the field of PPN.

William will describe how he discovered and developed his methods, and outline a basic, non-invasive, and gentle approach called birth-pathway presence (BPP1). BPP1 has been learned and used by trauma practitioners such as cranio-sacral, somatic experiencing, osteopathic, chiropractic, psychotherapeutic, bodynamic, feldenkreis, kinesthesology, deep tissue, EMD, and massage therapists.

William Emersonwill also review the incidence of birth trauma for mothers and babies, andtreatment methods for each.
