Guiding Assumptions of Touch From Within
Each one of us is nature in human form.
Our work is grounded in wholeness: not only our clients, but our own. We, and our clients, are innately creative and resourceful.
Relationship is more important than technique/outcome (including a client’s relationship with their body).
Increasing client awareness and connection with their body and baby is more important than “fixing a problem.”
Clients are the experts, babies are teachers, and we are guides.
Every client is an individual - we respect, honor, and learn about their uniqueness.
We are committed to staying curious and in a state of “not knowing.”
We focus on solutions rather than problems, and validate the positive intention of every action or thought our clients might make or have.
We support the awakening of the “Parent" within our clients. We embrace opportunities to acknowledge that they are already parenting/caring for their baby.
We have the opportunity to model self-love and compassion for our clients, nurturing their pregnancy, labor, and parenting journeys.
We are committed to ongoing personal reflection and development, deepening knowledge and practice, and building a supportive community.
We recognize that there are many “ways of knowing,” and seek to cultivate them all.
