Consultation is an essential aspect of development as a practitioner. The Touchstone Institute has curated a dynamic network of clinicians, that serve as mentors throughout the training process. We will work with you to find a support team that most benefits your consultation needs. Consultants specialize in birthing trauma, gender expansiveness in the birthing realm, perinatal OCD, fertility, and many, many other specialties.
