Welcome — I’m Kate White.
I've spent more than 30 years studying how our earliest experiences shape who we are today. My work brings together prenatal and perinatal somatic psychology, somatic traumatic resolution, touch, neuroscience and the healing potential of relationship. I work with babies, families and adults, and train practitioners internationally in ways of preventing and integrating birth and early trauma—including the baby's experience.

From Kate:
My work with understanding the earliest layers of experience is a love story that has spanned over decades. I have passionately studied with many of the master teachers in prenatal and perinatal somatics, and I have developed programs of my own. I help people find what is deeper and more true about themselves, embracing their essential humanness. I restore people and families to themselves after trauma and overwhelming experiencing with touch, inquiry and relationship. If you are not sure where to start or have questions about how this applies to you and your goals, schedule a 20 minute consult.
What is Prenatal & Perinatal Somatics?
|
Our earliest experiences—from conception, pregnancy and birth through infancy—can shape patterns in the nervous system, body and relationships. Prenatal and Perinatal Somatics is a gentle, body-based approach that supports greater regulation, connection and choice while honoring the body's own pace. The term "prenatal and perinatal somatics" was coined by Ray Castellino, DC (retired), BCST, RPP, creator of the Castellino Training Corporation and the Castellino Foundation Training. His training of practitioners developed out of his years in training with William Emerson, Franklyn Sills, and Anna Chitty.

Over many years of working together, the pioneers in the field of prenatal and perinatal (PPN) study captured the essence of human development in our bodies starting preconception. They also were able to name the layers of our human experience as we come into form, including preconception, conception, prenatal life, birth and after birth. Prenatal and perinatal somatics combines earliest experience, the study of energy medicine, somatic trauma awareness and healing, and bodywork approaches.
