Testimonials From Parents
“Chanti has an incredible healing resonance about her. Just being in her presence is calming. She brings her experience as a midwife, mom, and somatic healer—and even more credentials than I can remember—into the space and facilitates a beautiful group. Her grounding meditations are chef’s kiss—I use pieces of them from memory when I need to settle back into sleep after nursing my little one at night. Her voice is golden, as is her heart. She brings out the kindest and strongest aspects of each person in the group and fosters nourishing connections. I highly recommend this group experience to anyone needing a soft place to land after birth.”
“This group was an incredibly important part of my healing process after a difficult birth experience and physically and emotionally overwhelming early postpartum period. Sharing our birth experiences with other mothers was more healing than I could have imagined. While each of our experiences were unique, there were so many common threads and emotions, it allowed me to feel much less alone and make sense of my own story. Chanti facilitates with compassion, deep attunement, and grace, and I will always be grateful to have found this group. Could not recommend it more highly!

"Chanti brings vast knowledge and deep intuition to her work. Her intention is clear and her approach precise. She holds nurturing space for deep re-patterning and transformation. She has the ability to teach at multiple layers simultaneously, and I feel I could trust her guidance and empowering support in the most challenging situations."

"When I began my journey in Pre and Perinatal Psychology in 1999, I remember hearing Pre and Perinatal Psychology pioneer William Emerson say that a new professional is on the horizon, one that knows about obstetrics, childbirth, somatic and emotional processes, and trauma resolution. Chanti embodies this kind of professional. Her knowledge about pre and perinatal patterns and how to resolve them extends from her years of study and practices as a midwife, professional training with Ray Castellino, Body Mind Centering® and Somatic Experiencing®. As a student or client, you cannot go wrong by choosing to work with her. The Association of Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH) is pleased to be working with her as a trainer for our students in the somatic processes necessary to support PPN learning."
