About
Gitte Larsen
Teacher and Practitioner
Teacher and Practitioner with 30+ Years of Practice
With over three decades of dedicated practice, I bring depth to the fields of pre/perinatal therapy, formative embodiment, and holistic healing. My journey began at Heartwood Institute in California and has been shaped by direct mentorship with pioneering leaders including Ray Castellino, Jim Feil, Bruce Burger and Bob Moore.
As one of the few practitioners globally with this comprehensive training foundation, I offer a unique integration of somatic therapies, energy healing, and specialized perinatal work. My expertise spans from supporting families through conception and birth to facilitating deep healing of early life trauma patterns that shape our entire lives.
I have supported clients since 1994 and taught Polarity Therapy and Energy Work in Denmark since 1997. The knowledge of subtle energy work infuses my pre- and perinatal work. Since starting work in Australia in 2024 I have facilitated numerous Womb Surround Process Workshops.
Recently completed advanced Family Practitioner certification through Castellino Training, I continue to expand my knowledge while sharing decades of experience with both clients and fellow practitioners across Australia and internationally.
