SBGI Adjunct Faculty Santa Barbara Graduate Institute is proud of its distinguished faculty.

Marcy Axness, Ph.D., Early Human Development, Union Institute, 2003 Dr. Axness writes and lectures internationally on the complex tapestry of attachment, society, and child/parent development.

Her studies and research encompass many disciplines, yielding a “big picture” appreciation of the myriad influences on human development, but her abiding passion is prenatal psychology and its concordance with esoteric wisdom traditions and the latest cellular, neurodevelopmental and consciousness research. Informed by interpersonal neurobiology she coined a new term for relational trauma with her dissertation, Malattachment and the Self Struggle: Separation, Survival, and Healing. Dr. Axness has a private counseling practice in the L.A. area specializing in fertility, adoption, prenatal and early parenting. Weaving together scientific findings and spiritual principles into her Quantum Parenting approach, she assists clients in nurturing their children’s healthiest development from pre-conception/pre-adoption onward, as well as their own inner development as parents.
