About Me 

Nancy Greenfield, Ph.D., R.C.S.T.

I help families and individuals release the invisible core dynamics of early life and childhood wounding. These patterns cause the struggles that bind and restrict life.  My work is multidimensional and founded in all of my credentials (which are listed at the bottom of this page) and the discoveries that I gleaned from all the learnings described below.

— In the mid 1993 I began studying Pre and Perinatal Psychology with Dr. Raymond Castellino. I worked in his BEBA clinic for many years helping newborns, babies, children, mothers, and fathers release their early traumas from conception, through gestation, birth and the attachment process. It was there that I learned to feel how early consciousness expresses and modulates itself as it tries to engage with the world around. I also realized that the unresolved issues of mothers and fathers, and even grandparents, can invisibly influence how our children can grow and function. Children can get caught in these energies and carry them forward into their own lives.

— My interest in these intergenerational influences lead me to become a Family Constellation facilitator.  It was during that time that I developed a much deeper understanding of the intricate inheritance weave that can influence us, our children and what becomes possible for us in our lives. My special interest in working with couples and illness was born at that time.

— Six years ago, I became a student of the contemporary mystic, Thomas Hubl, whose work opened me to a new level of mystical and spiritual awareness beyond what I had previously achieved. With Thomas’ teachings, including his TWT training, a new paradigm through which to explore consciousness, perceive existence and be in relationship with the movements of life became available to me. His teachings inform my life and work every day.

— Then, in 2018, I came full circle back to our earliest state of consciousness and how it expresses itself and moves through the wounds of our childhood. I began to study the work of Dr. Franz Rupert, known in Germany and Norway as Identity Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy-Theory and Method (IoPT); and as Identity Development in the US. I lead public workshops at the US institute (www.IdentitgyDevelpmentInstitute.com)where I am certified. Dr. Rupert’s theory of the Human Psyche, Trauma and Health engages directly with the hidden consciousness of our young psyche, how it finds its way through early trauma and creates numerous survival strategies to keep us safe. His attention to healing these wounds and developing one’s authentic ‘I’ and ‘Will’ as the center and orienting principles of a healthy identity, has become a major focus in my work.
