SKILLS FOR FUTURE FAMILIES were developed by Sophia Michalopoulou MA out of her experience and observations in therapeutic and learning environments with babies and their families, on land and in water. Sophia is the founder of AQUAGENESIS and combined a number of different modalities in order to create a fluid continuum of practices to support the entire experience of being born, with water.

Among other professional capacities she is an integrative aquatic therapist, a pregnancy and birth doula as well as a baby swimming and early year educator. Mostly it is her own personal process of remembering her birth journey while immersed in warm water, that has informed her sensitive perspective on how developing babies in utero experience coming into their new little bodies and Life on Earth.
