Please come and enjoy the leading edge of womb surround and prenatal and perinatal somatic health (PPN) work with an emerging leader in the birth psychology movement. Frank Carbone is a Continuum teacher trained by Emilie Conrad, and a prenatal and perinatal practitioner trained by Ray Castellino. He has assisted the leaders in the PPN field for years, including Ray Castellino, Mary Jackson and Tara Blasco.

Maya Kokatay is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist, Certified Infant Massage Instructor, Childbirth Educator, Doula, and Midwife Assistant. She has spent the last two decades supporting hundreds of families through their birth and postpartum journeys. Maya draws from her studies in the field of pre and perinatal psychology, trauma-informed therapeutic bodywork, and her own journey of parenting to provide families with compassionate and attuned care.
This special Continuum Womb Surround work, Womb Continuum, is a blend of Continuum movement therapy and womb surround work developed by Ray Castellino.

We work in small group settings, and explore creative and pleasurable ways to play is what I call "The Umbilical Field". My own experiences as a devoted Continuum student of Emilie Conrad has led me to a vivd and healing path holding a womb space to explore the original template of being created.

The intention of a Womb Continuum is to heal and re-pattern early life and to create more options for current behavior and ways of being in relationship. In addition to healing prenatal, birth and other early trauma, this process has the principle impact of encouraging loving bonding within primary relationships. Participants commonly state that the process is transformational on a deep level.

Using creativity Eros and Continuum we can explore and create new pathways of a fluid and creative world inside which can ride the waves of our social nervous system in new and rejuvenating ways…

Sound shape, color and other essential sensory ingredients, support conditions and can hold a restful relational field of safe and interesting creative awareness.

It has a moving wisdom like the echo of our birth sequence, that is easily connected to the nature and ease of an ocean wind.

Our current life in the present moment Is a creative continuum that has a clear forward, access to a life in a field that creates interesting permission for bigger things to emerge from the center of ourselves.

Why not have all these facets?

Why not let them shine?

We can play with a menu:

• Sequence

• Sounds

• Shapes

• Awareness of pleasurable movements

• Creative Embryonic Exploration

• Exploring gravity

• Restorative Capacity

• One Cell Presence

A Womb Surround Process Workshop is a therapeutic group experience designed to help individuals access and heal early pre- and perinatal imprints—memories and patterns formed in the womb, during birth, or in early infancy. These workshops, often based on the work of Ray Castellino, provide a safe, supportive environment where participants can explore how their earliest experiences have shaped their nervous system, emotions, and relational patterns.

Key Elements of a Womb Surround Process Workshop:
1. Small, Intimate Group – Typically 4-6 participants, ensuring deep, personal work with close support.
2. Facilitated Process – A trained facilitator guides participants through somatic (body-based) explorations, gentle regression, and healing experiences.
3. Intentions & Resonance – Each person sets an intention for healing, and the group serves as a resonant field to support that healing.
4. Repatterning & Integration – Participants may revisit and shift early imprints by experiencing new, supportive interactions and somatic releases.
5. Safety & Co-Regulation – The emphasis is on creating a safe, attuned space where nervous system healing can take place.

People who attend these workshops often seek healing from birth trauma, attachment wounds, or deep-seated patterns affecting their lives. It’s a gentle but profound way to reconnect with early

Working in a warm pool brings the potential and possibilities of a womb surround to deeper and in more buoyant ease and offers the participant an option of using the water or doing a process in the traditional setting indoors (om land).

My collaboration with Maya Kokatay is a creative journey working together through our trainees with Ray Castellino and John and Anna Chitty.

This workshop will have up to 5 participarts and an assistant or two.
