^Mission

To build and/or enhance the parent-child connection for optimal emotional health and well being, including bringing healing to the home and family so that relationships can grow and flourish.

Introduction

The Center for Family Attachment and Healing works with parents, starting prenatally, to create a strong family where enduring relationship are established and thrive. Through "Conscious Parenting," we can build strong connections with our children, allowing us to guide them throughout childhood, into becoming emotionally healthy adults.

It is the strong connections we make with our children, early on, that lay the foundation for their lifelong emotional regulation and well being, and hence, positive behaviors, self confidence and healthy relationships with others.

Please see the services page for a more detailed description of the myriad of services including Counseling, Doula/Childbirth Assistance, CALM BIRTH preparation, Seminars, and consultation.
