Testimonial 5

As an experienced ECE Waldorf teacher, Mother of 7, Grandmother of 5, I would definitely encourage anyone to do this training. It is like going to finishing school or finding the missing link.

As an ECE teacher I found myself referring Myrna over and over to parents, because in a group setting we could not always heal or release younger shock or trauma. I felt how wonderful that those early issues could be addressed before coming to school or daycare. Now I feel that even I can bring this quality of Presence in the context also. Here is a window of seeing and listening which is new.

In this era where children are exposed so early to such an immense field of media and screens and sounds and noise, I often felt encouraged to meet these little beings and create an oasis for them. Now I know I can be that oasis, not just the wonderful Waldorf curriculum sustaining I and them. I have done my own birth journey; I know how to pause, create a surround with the parents and bring that soft holding with its magical presence which I believe all children are born longing for.

So for those of you who are trained via Waldorf or so appreciate the Emmi Pikler RIE way, this is the missing link.

As a mother I am slowly recognizing and sharing birth stories with all of my children, all of whom I had thought in the past: well not bad, no drugs and vaginal birth! Now I know there were all kinds of other difficulties. As a grand mother I have been invited to be present at my grand children's' births. How wonderful that I could bring this larger, yummier quality of presence. I like to think that I made a difference at the very beginning of their life.

As for myself, the whole journey of revisiting my own birth and releasing there... that has brought me closer to my midline and more HERE...

In many ways this training has enhanced my life and those whom I encounter. I am sharing all the time. There are pregnant women everywhere.
