Hi, I’m Terhi.

I’m a research psychologist, writer, poet, and educator. I am interested in developmental psychology, motherhood, daughterhood, prenatal and perinatal experiences, and early childhood. I explore loss during pregnancy and beyond. I read and write poetry. I intend to tie it all together in my writing.

I have taught developmental psychology and researched social interaction for over fifteen years. I have additional training in hypnotherapy and poetry therapeutic facilitation. I am studying somatic practices to understand how the nervous system influences our experiences in the lived body.
