Little 3-year old Susie holds her dog for hours at a time and has a meltdown when Mom separates them. Forty-year old Tina complains she can’t feel much in her life and shuts out emotional and sexual closeness with her husband. Diane is terrified of commitment and imagines the man will decide he doesn’t want to be with her.
Michael gets foggy and distant, whenever he feels challenged by his wife. Suzanne becomes enraged when her 3-month-old daughter cries at night. Rebecca has been divorced three times and has had numerous other painful, problem-filled relationships. Karen can’t lose weight and keep it off, no matter what she does.
What do these people have in common? Something significant happened during their time in the womb or during their birth that is impacting their lives today.
Over twenty-five years of research, hundreds of studies, and clinical findings in prenatal and perinatal psychology have mapped out life in the womb and the birth experience from the baby’s perspective, showing that our fundamental life patterns and core beliefs are woven into the fabric of our being prenatally and at our birth! 1

During this time, the baby forms beliefs and ways of responding that become her subconscious emotional landscape and orientation towards growth or protection. This forms a template in the baby's mind and body that sets the child up for her basic life patterns and themes. These patterns and themes include those that are uplifting, as well as those that are depleting, because this life is an experience of contrast. Our prenatal and birth experience is our entrance into this dimension of contrast. We came to experience joy and sorrow, happiness and sadness, ease and struggle, light and dark, so that we can know for ourselves the difference, and in that knowing, be able to distinguish and choose the light – to choose joy.
For many, experiencing joy often requires healing a lot of pain. Many have struggled for years with their particular pain, which is often anchored in place energetically by deeply held unconscious beliefs and unfinished emotional baggage from the past that is anchored ultimately in the prenatal and birth experience.
The cutting-edge healing method of Rapid Eye Technology (RET) is the most efficient, effective and successful tool I know of to release limiting, deeply held patterns and core beliefs, and assists the client in releasing the old templates of fear, struggle, fight or fleeing for survival . RET is the original, holistic, spiritual eye movement energy therapy. The awareness that each person is in essence a perfect spiritual being is at the heart of RET.
Rapid Eye has demonstrated profound success in assisting clients to release depression, pain, insecurity, anxiety, painful memories or experiences, unhappy relationship patterns, and trauma. RET is also highly effective in releasing stress, addictions, compulsions, post-traumatic stress, grief, anger, panic disorders, attention problems, attachment problems, and many other limiting life patterns and core beliefs. The most exciting use of these tools to me is their effectiveness in assisting us to lay a NEW TEMPLATE for creating the life and relationships we want. These include personal happiness, security, feelings of self-worth and belonging, happy loving relationships, improved health, reaching our ideal weight, and creating abundance in all areas of our lives. RET utilizes blinking, directed eye movements, breathing, imagery, and other techniques to facilitate the release of limiting, life-depleting emotional, mental, and physical patterns. Neurologically, RET accesses the deep processing, ordering and discharging that we do naturally each night during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of dreaming. Research has determined that the integrative eye movements of REM sleep are vital to health and well being. Much of what I do with RET bypasses the conscious brain, allowing clients to access and transform material anchored deep within. Many people achieve tremendous change in 8 - 12 sessions. Additional tools and resources are used for clients who have experienced significant trauma or abuse, addictions, or serious depression. RET can also be used with children over 5 who experience fears, nightmares, anger, learning or other behavioral issues.
In summary, Rapid Eye Technology is an extremely effective method to facilitate healing from core issues and the root causes of limiting patterns of all sorts, including those anchored in our prenatal and birth experience, and for gracefully creating a joyful life now.
I am personally grateful for this healing gift in my life, and for the privilege and opportunity of sharing it with others.
