The Sequence of Our Lifespan
About the Sequence of Our Lifespan
Emerging research suggests that when we integrate our earliest imprints, we gain greater access to choice in the present moment — responding to life as it unfolds, rather than unconsciously reacting from patterns rooted in the past.
In The Sequence of Our Lifespan (SOOL), birth and death midwives Mary Jackson and Moriah Melín W explore how our early pre- and perinatal (PPN) experiences influence every developmental stage of life, including the way we meet the end of life. Expanding the perspectives and applications of PPN Somatics, this course traces these foundational patterns through the full circle of life.

Mary Jackson has been married since 1987, is the mother of 2 children who were born at home, and has been featured in 11 books and 5 movies. She participates in cutting edge research about imprints that occur around the time of conception, pregnancy and birth and how they affect us throughout the rest of our lives and what it takes to heal from challenges in these experiences.
