Join us live on October 26 by reserving your free seat here: https://www.goldbirthandbeyond.com/conference/speakers/closing-keynote-presentation

Dr. Narvaez has a broad professional background which includes research, advisory board experience, and a wide variety of published written work. Her current research explores how early life events influence wellbeing and moral character in children and adults. 

During “The Postpartum Nest: Helping Parents Lay the Foundation for Their Child's Lifelong Health”, Dr. Narvaez will share the most current information on the ways early childhood experiences have a lifelong epigenetic impact. She’ll explore what the early developmental system or nest looks like for humans, and she’ll share information on how modern child-rearing practices are vastly different from that of our ancestors. This webinar offers an opportunity to learn how factors such as touch, breastfeeding, positive social supports, and responsivity shape the early years. Come join us to gain valuable insights and tools that will help you to empower parents to incorporate these components into their infant’s care!

This presentation will be given live two times and will also be available as a recording until November 20. To learn more and to reserve your FREE seat click here: https://www.goldbirthandbeyond.com/conference/speakers/closing-keynote-presentation

Keynote Speaker Britta Bushnell

Dr. Bushnell is an author, childbirth educator, mythologist, and speaker with over 20 years of experience working with birthing families. She is an engaging speaker with a depth of experiences that leads to her profound insights into birth, parenting, and relationships. Her work brings practical and transformative ideas to healthcare providers.

During “Awakening the Parent: Are You Supporting or Sabotaging Your Client’s Transformation?” Dr. Bushnell will share her fascinating information on the dynamics of teaching new parents. She’ll explain why it’s so easy for us to unwittingly reinforce the idea that experts hold all the knowledge, leaving parents in the energetic position of the child. You’ll learn about how we can switch from the role of authority to that of mentor or guide, and how we can support transformation into self-guided and autonomous parents. This will be an eye-opening presentation not to miss!
