Testimonials

Janet is a wonderful teacher and embraces the pre and perinatal field with depth, richness, and enthusiasm. PPN goes to the heart of being human. It provides an opportunity to work with our earliest strengths and wounding, with support that invites us to more fully embody and live life with joy. –Myrna Martin, MN, RCC, RCST

I feeling very lucky to be a part of learning in this community. The support I have found in the various small groups has meant the world to me. Also I find the slowing down and emphasizing support has become a part of my facilitation practice, a huge enrichment. –PPN student 2021-2023

I have provided therapeutic attachment trauma services for children and families for the past 20 years. This program allowed me space and energy to pause with myself and my clients to notice what is happening in our bodies from past, present, and projected future painful experiences. The teachers and facilitators have created a  safe, secure, loving, contained space to explore our most complex and painful human experiences. I highly recommend this class. It will change how you live in your world and how you show up for others. Lindy Swimm, MAE, LCSW, Certified EMDR Consultant. Supervisor, Trainer, Therapist, Artist
