Graham Kennedy - Biography
For
most of his adult life, Graham has been involved in the study and practise
of a number of different mind-body disciplines. These included shiatsu
massage, internal and external martial arts, natural healthcare methodologies
and a number of meditative and self-developmental processes.
He now specialises in the resolution of early traumatic experiences that
have their origins in the prenatal period, the birth process and during
the vital first few years of childhood when the infant/child is developing
its attachment with its parents.
His commitment to working to help resolve early life issues is due to
his understanding that this period of time sets a template for our physical,
emotional and psychological health, and that if we make changes here it
can have profound effects in all aspects of our life.
Graham has completed extensive training in Prenatal and Birth Trauma Resolution
under Dr. Raymond Castellino of Santa Barbara California, Corrective Attachment
Therapy and Corrective Attachment Parenting under Dr. Terry Levy and Michael

Resolution with Karlton Terry of Denver, Colorado.
