Below, is an overview of what July looks like within Luminous Birth Village:
🥝 Thurs July 2nd - Live Community Call
'Welcoming The New Human: Embodying the Science Through Positioning Relational Love as Primary Care in Pregnancy & Birth"
In this session, Victoria Rose invites us to reconsider a quiet but radical idea: that relational love is not a “soft accompaniment” to clinical care, but the primary care itself.
Drawing on the science of attachment, neurobiology and epigenetics alongside her work with somatic practice and indigenous traditions, Victoria will offer practitioners and parents a grounded, embodied framework for honoring the baby as a conscious participant from the very beginning — and for recalibrating how we hold pregnancy, birth and the families we serve.

Matthew Appleton is a UK-based Craniosacral Therapist and Core Process Psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience in prenatal and perinatal education and therapy. He is the founder of Integrative Baby Therapy (IBT), a pioneering approach that explores babies and prenates as conscious, embodied beings, emphasizing the profound influence of early life experiences on later development. Matthew’s work bridges craniosacral therapy, relational psychology, and early imprinting, offering parents, families, and practitioners tools to engage with the baby’s nervous system and relational field in a deeply attuned and compassionate way.
Matthew Appleton’s work invites us to move beyond seeing birth trauma as an event or diagnosis, and toward understanding it as an experience that lives in the baby’s body until it is met with listening, attunement, and safety. This class supports adults in recognizing how presence and relational awareness shape a baby’s capacity to integrate early experiences.
