Frank Carbone offers support and guidance in experiential and creative ways to explore movement, sensation, and deep healing through an embryonic journey from within. Through Continuum practices, participants track and reflect on the sensations of being held in a womb-like field of co-creative bio-resonant expression—exploring the restorative capacity of fluid to dissolve, reorganize, and return to form.

In this work we connect to the fluid systems of the body and the mysterious slow rhythms of our ever-creative embryo, rediscovering the intelligence and regenerative potential of our living cells.

Frank is a Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapist, Sivananda Yoga Teacher, singer, songwriter, DJ, and Gyrotonic Instructor. He is also the creator of Womb Continuum, a synthesis of over 20 years of study with Continuum founder Emilie Conrad combined with Pre- and Perinatal Therapy with Dr. Raymond Castellino.

Frank served as a personal assistant to Dr. Castellino for six years and assisted in over 85 Womb Surround processes worldwide. He now offers Womb Continuum workshops internationally and maintains private practices in Ojai, California and New York.

In April 2025, Frank had a car accident and over the subsequent months, he healed himself and created new materials for a book called Cellness. This is his story.

This is a very special interview with therapist and author, Jasmin Lee Cori. Her book, The Emotionally Absent Mother: How to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effect of Childhood Emotional Neglect was pivotal for me when exploring mothering and my history as a daughter. I found reading her book very healing, and I have adopted her affirmations as those I use when helping others, especially adults who have early wounds and mothers who want to be the best version of themselves. Her affirmations are:

• I am glad you are here
• I see you
• You are special to me
• I respect you
• You can turn to me for help
• Your needs are important to me
• I'm here for you; I'll make time for you
• I'll keep you safe
• You can rest in me
• I delight in you

Jasmin Lee Cori has lived a life of learning and healing. She practiced for many years as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado, specializing in work with adults who experienced childhood neglect and abuse. Jasmin is the author of 5 nonfiction books including The Emotionally Absent Mother, Healing From The Emotionally Absent Mother, and Healing From Trauma.

Jasmin taught in a variety of colleges and vocational schools and is passionate about psychological and spiritual growth, as well as holistic health.
