Full-Day Experiential Workshop on the Integration of Birth Dynamics
In addition to individual therapy, I also offer the opportunity for in-depth group work. In a small group setting, we explore how our earliest experiences shape our current experiences and life patterns. I lead the seminar in collaboration with psychologist Veronika Pešlová at the therapeutic center Slunná 27 in Prague 6.
The seminars are usually held in the spring and fall; this year, they will take place on October 17 and November 28.

The “Integration of Birth Dynamics” seminar draws on the practice of Jullian Gustavson, which is rooted in a deep respect for each individual and emphasizes creating a safe and compassionate environment. The fundamental principle of this method is exploring our primal experiences through work with cellular memory. During the seminar, we will listen to our bodies, allow them to express themselves, and look into places we haven’t seen before. Together, we will explore the “early period”—that is, the time from conception to the end of the first year of life.
This work helps us get in touch with our inner needs and release unconscious patterns. It increases our sensitivity, kindness, and understanding toward ourselves and those around us.
During this period, we are at our most vulnerable and most dependent on others, so these early experiences carry a strong emotional charge. Even an event that seems insignificant from an adult’s perspective can be perceived by us as life-threatening. At the same time, we can also recall those beautiful and pleasant experiences that can serve as a source of strength in our lives, and we can draw strength from them.
Our bodies remember these early experiences, and they are deeply embedded within us. It is through these unconscious filters and belief patterns that we later perceive the world around us. We can observe recurring patterns of behavior in our lives, especially during transitional periods such as marriage, divorce, a new job, or the birth of a child. We may struggle with our boundaries, with self-expression, or with finding meaning in life… And all of this may be influenced by how we came into the world.
