Combine two or more people in the pursuit of a common purpose and you can achieve more with less. Together we are able to accomplish what none of us could achieve alone. ~Dan Zadra

Serena Sutherland Womb Team Leader Founder T.R(tm) Certified Trainer
I am a parent of one loving adult son and I enjoy being a grandmother to my pre-teen granddaughter. I love being in nature and I am very fond of the ocean. My interests include swimming with dolphins in the wild and communing with nature. I enjoy camping, hiking and being a speaker for children’s rights. I have a particular passion for the Autistic person of any age. My relationship with them was sparked by their determination to be seen as ‘teachers of Love’.
I am a Registered/Licensed Occupational Therapist for 40 years. 1. Specialized in Pediatrics for 35 years/ certified in Sensory Integration children’s providing evaluation and direct treatment in a private practice 2. Consultant to parents, schools and friends/caretakers of children regarding learning and behavioral issues 3.

Lecturer locally and internationally on Autism and Sensory Integration 5. Advanced training as a practitioner in three different types of body work: Craniosacral and Visceral Manipulation (trained by Osteopaths from France) and Jin Shi Jyutsu energy work: created in Japan 4000 years ago 6. Certified Hakomi Therapist for 15 years : a body/mind/spirit psychotherapy based on the Buddhist non-violent philosophy 7. 15 years training within the Native American tradition/ adopted into the Navajo world and a strong supporter of the Hopi tradition for 25 years. 8. Reiki Master 3rd Degree in 1986 9. ‘Transcendental Rebirthing’ supporter and organizer for the events in Santa Barbara,CA since it conception.
The opportunity to be a womb team member In the majority of the Transcendental Rebirthings™ has provided me a wide angle lense for 'seeing' who we potentially are. I have supported over eighty (90) rebirths and every one is totally unique and different. The energy frequencies which are held by Ivonne and Toby allowed me to experience my rebirth through love. For my second rebirthing I desired the alignment with my higher self. During this process I became the energy field I call ‘BLISS’. The walls of separation dissolved and all the womb mates experienced the energy field where we became ‘One’....like pure liquid golden light.
My rebirth of my son, without him being physically present, changed my concept of past/present/future. This particular experience immediately shifted our relationship. The spaces which felt disconnected from the trauma we experienced in his delivery and our 15 hour separation were rewoven. This transcendental shift impacted my reality where everything is connected to everything no matter where it happens on the continuum of life. I now know we can actually transmute our third dimensional everyday history into a radiant future for our children and ourselves. I am in humble service to those who choose to rebirth with this divine couple.

Since 2007 she has been involved, both as a participant and as a member of the womb team in the Transcendental Rebirthing process. In her own words: “First as a participant and then as a member of the womb team, I have experienced the transformative power of the womb experience. The transcendental Rebirthing experience empowers the individual to choose a new future, free from old patterns and beliefs that limit, and diminish. It empowered me as a participant, to recognize beliefs and feelings that I carried that were not mine. It has transformed my relationship with my daughter, and with myself. There in the absolute safety and love of the Womb, I recognized my connection to all of humanity. As a Womb Team member, I am a witness and a supporter of this process for each individual . Toby and Ivonne create the marriage of spirit and energy, of the masculine and feminine. It is a alchemical weaving of loving presence, total focus and commitment to the process, and the divine masculine and feminine energies.”
