Upcoming Events
BCST Professional Consult Group
Thank you for your interest in participating in this consultation group for Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy practitioners. This is a pilot offering of a format we hope to provide on a monthly, ongoing basis. For these first three sessions, participation will be available on a drop-in basis. After that, we hope to meet monthly as a closed group.
This group is intended to provide a supportive learning environment where newer practitioners can bring challenging cases for consultation, receive guidance from Clara, and benefit from the collective wisdom and perspectives of the group.
Pilot offering three of three.
Contact us to sign up.

The Art of Being Human Discovery Call
Join Clara and her teaching team for a free discovery call on zoom!
Free Talk on Pre- & Perinatal Somatic Psychology & Embodiment
What Supports Human Beings to Thrive?
Throughout the fall and winter, Clara will offer a series of free monthly talks exploring some of the foundational ideas and theory at the heart of Pre- and Perinatal Somatic Psychology and embodiment. If you’re considering joining us in May for The Art of Being Human, this is a great way to get your feet wet. If not, it’s still valuable information that many of us can benefit from knowing about.
Together, we’ll explore what supports human beings to develop, connect, adapt, and thrive, beginning with the earliest foundations of life. We’ll learn practices that support health and wellbeing, and explore the experiences and conditions that can interrupt or hinder healthy growth and development.

Body Intelligence BCST Training Seminar 1
The training offers a 50 day practitioner course for individuals wanting to become qualified craniosacral therapists. The training is biodynamic in its approach orienting to the body's natural wisdom and allowing innate intelligent processes to arise and bring about authentic change. These changes will be physiological and psycho-emotional. The body's own priorities for change are listened for and encouraged to arise. The art of the therapist is to connect with the underlying forces of health and facilitate a process of natural reorganisation. These forces express as subtle motion of tissues and fluids that can be felt by sensitive hands. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy takes a whole-person approach to healing and the inter-connectedness of mind, body and spirit are deeply acknowledged.
Systemic & Family Constellations Gathering
Come join us for Systemic & Family Constellation practice! Please RSVP to Jodi at humandevelopmentcenter1008@gmail.com to secure your spot. 8 participants required.
Research from the past two decades now sheds new light on how the unresolved traumas of ancestors could be discovered in the symptoms and struggles of family members born generations later. The legacy of traumatic inheritance is often unconscious, operating below the surface of our awareness yet influencing our health, well-being, and relationships in substantial ways.
A Family Constellation can illuminate hidden dynamics and unconscious family loyalties that contribute to depression, anxiety, physical symptoms, strained relationships, and financial struggle. In a safe and contained group setting, long standing family patterns, many of them originating from past trauma provide a broader context for working with current difficulties. In some instances, discovering the origin of an inherited family pattern is enough to begin easing the grip it has on our present life. In other instances, a new image, belief, understanding or re-organization of a previously held pattern offers promise for a new way forward.
In this workshop the time-honored wisdoms of Bert Hellinger’s teachings on Family Constellation Work will guide us through both small and large group explorations, constellations and mini lectures. The complimentary disciplines of Attachment Science, Birth Psychology, Epigenetics, Field Theory and Morphogenic Resonance will be included as we explore the significant and formative “relational spaces” between ourselves and others. The primary focus of the workshop is to promote greater awareness, understanding and harmony in our relationships as intimate partners, former partners, grandparents, parents, children, step parents, mothers and fathers in law and friends.
For those of you new to this 'work/field'
There are a few details about how the field of this work operates that may be useful for you to understand. I've quoted one of my teachers here as she sums up some of these basics very clearly.
"A sacred space is created where deep (often unspoken) truths about our families are acknowledged and honored.
Participants describe an issue or problem they want to solve along with some factual information about their family. A simple description of what they know about the family (even if that is not much) and what they experience as the problem is enough information. They choose workshop participants to represent themselves and family members, living or dead, and physically place the chosen representatives in relationship to each other according to their heartfelt inner image of their family system. This creates an energy field in which the representatives experience physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts related to the family member they represent.
Constellations look like a living tree or genogram. The experience is not role-playing. Representatives simply report what they experience. We carry our families with us like a hologram. In the workshops, we externalize an aspect of the hologram and, for a brief moment, have a glimpse into deeply unconscious patterns in the system.
The workshop leader facilitates an unfolding process where painful losses, information treated as family secrets, and previously unseen connections are revealed and honored. Once the unconscious system is revealed, it can be restructured into a more balanced system where love and energy flow freely as experienced by the people representing family members. Participants leave with a more nourishing family picture that inspires freedom, clarity, and love." Lisa Iversen

The Art of Being Human: Understanding Imprints & Learning to Thrive
This professional training is designed for mental health therapists, craniosacral therapists, occupational and physical therapists, bodyworkers, birth professionals (midwives and doulas), somatic educators, and others who work with infants, children, parents, couples, or adults. It offers an in-depth exploration of the earliest foundations of human development and how our earliest experiences shape nervous system regulation, attachment, identity, health, and relational patterns throughout life.
Drawing from Pre- and Perinatal Psychology, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, Developmental Neuroscience, Embryology, and the work of pioneers such as Myrna Martin and Ray Castellino, the training offers a compassionate, embodied approach to understanding and supporting the healing of preconception, prenatal, birth, newborn, and early childhood imprints.
Throughout the program, participants deepen both their personal and professional capacities while developing practical skills they can immediately integrate into their work.
BCST Professional Consult Group

Birth Process Workshop- FULL
This work is about growing consciousness and agency within the field of our earliest patterns. Through attunement, resonance, and supportive relationship, we build both inner and relational resources—discovering capacities for choice, voice, boundary, and connection that weren’t available during our original experiences.
Rather than being unconsciously driven by survival strategies formed before we had words, we learn to:
Metabolize or differentiate from what was overwhelming
Complete what was interrupted
Discover we have choices where we once had none
Differentiate from the unresolved material of our family of origin
Build inner resources to meet life with more presence and possibility
Mature and develop our nervous system by healing in relationship—recognizing that wounds created in relationship must be healed in relationship
We may touch the thread of our essential nature—what we at The Human Development Center call our Original Health, the blueprint of wholeness present before survival patterns formed.

This work is about growing consciousness and agency within the field of our earliest patterns. Through attunement, resonance, and supportive relationship, we build both inner and relational resources—discovering capacities for choice, voice, boundary, and connection that weren’t available during our original experiences.
Rather than being unconsciously driven by survival strategies formed before we had words, we learn to:
Metabolize or differentiate from what was overwhelming
Complete what was interrupted
Discover we have choices where we once had none
Differentiate from the unresolved material of our family of origin
Build inner resources to meet life with more presence and possibility
Mature and develop our nervous system by healing in relationship—recognizing that wounds created in relationship must be healed in relationship
We may touch the thread of our essential nature—what we at The Human Development Center call our Original Health, the blueprint of wholeness present before survival patterns formed.
Systemic & Family Constellation Community Circle
Systemic and Family Constellations are an experiential, relational healing approach that reveals how unseen dynamics within family systems, ancestral lines, and relational fields influence our lives, health, relationships, and sense of belonging. Rooted in phenomenology and systemic awareness, this work gently brings to light inherited patterns such as interrupted bonding, trauma, loss, exclusion, or unconscious loyalties that may be operating beyond our conscious awareness. Through the constellation process, the system is allowed to reorganize toward greater truth, coherence, love, and flow—often resulting in deep relief, clarity, and restored connection. Constellations honor the wisdom of the larger field while moving at a pace that supports safety, dignity, and integration.

How ancient postpartum traditions throughout the world all share deep common roots. These traditional “prescriptions” all point to the importance of an extended resting period, warmth, specific foods, bodywork, and community support after birth. These traditions also teach that how mother is cared for in the postpartum time will be reflected in her lifelong health and menopause. These common threads in ALL traditional ways of caring for a postpartum mother reflect one another because they are rooted in physiology. We will explore every “prescription” in depth together.
The “WHY” behind postpartum care. When we understand “why” we do something, we understand the purpose of it so we can begin to place value on postpartum care. This ‘WHY’ has been largely forgotten in modern culture. We can shift from the dominant cultural paradigm of “postpartum care is a luxury” to “postpartum care is a necessity.”
About the profound changes that occur through the childbearing continuum; understanding the implications of physiologic appropriate postpartum care- for women’s life-long health.
Investment:
This class is meant for mothers and partner/or family/friend that will be their main support. The class fee of $400 covers mother and one partner/support person. Other family members who will be supporting mother during the postpartum time are also encouraged to attend— additional family members cost $185.
It is essential that not just mothers are receiving postpartum care education, but all of those who love mothers do as well.
This class is not for doulas/ midwives/ other maternal health care providers. If they are interested in this material please refer to Innate Postpartum Care Practitioner training.
Logistics:
Ideally this class is taken by mothers/families between 25- 34 weeks gestation. This way, the class series will be complete before mothers probable window of giving birth.
