The TARA Approach is not only a treatment design. It is a vision for humanity. This vision sees everyone with the ability to easily access the true story of their conception, prenatal life and birth. This essential biographical data shapes health, relationship, career and spirituality. It belongs to us. No matter what the details are, having access to your history empowers you. This power is freedom. It liberates you from addictive behaviors, chronic health dilemmas, and repeated self-sabotage.
Pre and perinatal educational programs can be included at appropriate intervals in the educational process for all children. Embryogenesis, the development of our beings in the womb, is a thrilling study that focuses on the courage and brilliance of babies to forge their purpose driven destiny and birth. All midwives, doulas, nurses, physicians, lactation consultants, family birthing staff, or anyone serving pregnancy, childbirth and parenting should be informed about pre and perinatal psychology and embryogenesis. This is the TARA Approach vision.
The TARA Approach is committed to restoring the vital role of the individual and the family in building a healthy, compassionate and evolved society through this awareness of prenatal life and birth. The keys to a healthy society are held by our children. The keys to our children's healthy development are attunement, attachment and bonding. These critical developmental experiences begin in utero. Simple acts of loving and honest communication produce attunement, attachment and bonding and are cost free interventions available to every family. When you add the gentle applied touch components that the TARA Approach offers, then developmental enhancement and nourishment is available at your fingertips.

The common sense practice of seeing development from the child's perspective is the best kept family health secret in the world! Parents can provide constant streams of developmental support through their words and their educated touch, strengthening health and brain development with truth, contact and consciousness. The neurochemistry of love is fueled in just this way no matter what the external circumstances. When adults understand their own developmental obstacles and repattern them they can truly be adults and free our society from the universal repetition of big children raising little children.
Parents, grandparents and siblings can learn about the crucial prenatal stages and adapt their dialogue with little ones to support formative periods. Embryogenesis is not a highly technical subject exclusive to those who attend medical school. In fact, it may not be emphasized in medical preparatory training. Many family birthing unit nurses have reported to me that they know nothing of embryogenesis! The incredible story of how we develop is enlivening learning that can easily be translated into language that anyone can understand. Extracting the individualized information about each person's developmental history is like reading or writing an intriguing mystery novel, pointing us always to the surprising conclusion about a victorious being who has chosen and fought against the odds to be here now. It is an action thriller, each and every time! No one's history is boring. No one is unimportant.
Our children are our future. Parents who want to conceive can prepare themselves best by accessing their own prenatal and birth histories. If you or your child is struggling, the details of prenatal life and birth can remove the obfuscations of your challenges, either in health or emotions, and provide clear and surprising solutions to regain radiant equanimity.
In this month of July when we celebrate American freedom, claim yours! It is available to you. When you know your origins you have the power to fulfill your destiny.
Be part of the TARA Approach vision for humanity. Claim the birth-right of your odyssey, your passion for life. Pass that vitality on to your children. See each child as a victor and acquire the tools that will help anyone who has forgotten their intention to reclaim it in their body, mind and spirit.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Seventh Inning Sit by Karen Lowry and Now I See the Moon by Elaine Hall
I love these books because they portray, with real life detail, how parents can advocate for their children. Autism and sensory integration struggles have been pathologized when they can be seen as profound outcries for specific support and adaptation. Our children are always trying to tell us about their experiences but they will do this most frequently in somatic ways that we, as adults, must understand. This challenges our creativity, as it should. Our children are helping us grow our intelligence so that we can help them grow theirs! The moms who wrote these books met this challenge. They had to develop confidence in their perceptions and their attunement to their children so that they could face the educational and medical resistance to their wisdom. One of the premises of my forthcoming books on sensory integration is that parents are frequently the cutting edge therapists for special needs children. These books prove my premise. Let's applaud these moms and their children! They have so much to teach us.
