Ashley Makan: Birth Psychology & the Nervous System

Speaking of the Village

Interpersonal Neurobiology and the importance of community and connection through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Which is essentially early human and nervous system development -- how that affects us as parents and the development of future generations.

She is the founder of Bodhi Birth and Wellness and is the Executive Director of the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and health (APPPAH).
