Ronda Lobsinger, R.P.N., B.A. has worked with women and the unique challenges they face for more than 30 years. As a Registered Practical Nurse and a certified La Leche League Leader she provided counselling and education to women and health care professionals about childbirth, childcare, and breastfeeding. Ronda was in the vanguard of encouraging women to rethink the entire process of childbirth and childcare when the profession of midwifery was still illegal and was being actively discouraged and denigrated by mainstream ideologies and governmental policies.

Fran Harwood, M.A. (Clin.Psych.), has been a psychotherapist in Toronto, specializing in Trauma and the Expressive Arts, for over 30 years. She has found that that the arts can articulate implicit layers of nonverbal and preverbal experience. They can also reveal and assist in the healing of trauma. She has a particular interest in the developmental process from conception, through birth into childhood and on, studying with both Dr William Emerson and Dr Graham Farrant in the conception to birth period. She trained in the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.

Before coming to Canada seven years ago, she lived in Northern Ireland, where she was strongly involved in community work and took courses in social studies at the University of Ulster, Queen's University and other institutions.

Ursula Carsen, M.T.C., is a Toronto based Psychotherapist in private practice, workshop facilitator and Body-Soul Writing Instructor (UBC Writing Centre).

She has studied and worked in Canada, the U.S.A. and in Europe. Her education is rooted in the Psychodynamic and Jungian traditions of practicing psychotherapy.
