Matthew Appleton is a fully qualified Psychotherapist, and Craniosacral Therapist working in Central Bristol. He delivers and trains in Integrative Baby Therapy (IBT) which acknowledges babies as sensitive and aware beings, who are affected by their birth and womb life.

Matthew trained extensively with American Pre and Perinatal Educator Karlton Terry. Out of this experience he developed Integrative Baby Therapy, which he teaches to health professionals in the UK and a number of other countries. He is

also director of Conscious Embodiment Trainings, which, along with the Integrative Baby Therapy Training, runs workshops and courses for adults to explore the consequences of their own womb and birth experience.

His own training with Buddhist and Shamanic teachers deeply informs his understanding of the relationship between spirituality and physical and psychological well-being.
