 Research
Dr. Caroline Peterson's dissertation evaluated breech presentation as an expression of predictive adaptation to the extra-uterine relationship environment. She found that breech presentation may be an expression of attachment type.
Dr. Caroline Peterson's postdoctoral research focused on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatment of pregnancy-related low back pain. The pilot randomized controlled trial compared exercise, spinal manipulation, or neuroemotional technique (NET). Dr. Peterson found that all three interventions improved the symptoms of low back pain.
Dr. Caroline Peterson is available to lecture on topics such as reproduction, attachment & evolution, early relationship formation, breech presentation, natural preparation for conception, healing from wounds such as sexual abuse and cesarean sections, relationship and physiologic predictive adaptation, breastfeeding, and how to conduct mixed-methodology research especially as it relates to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
