This course is for you if...
- You are expecting your first baby
- Or your second, third – and curious about a gentler way
- You want to build trust and connection through daily care
- You’re interested in nature-based, respectful parenting
All genders, all family types, all levels welcome
You don’t need any experience — just a bit of curiosity and care.
Curious about EC, but not sure where to start?
You may have heard about EC – “Elimination Communication” –
and felt interested… but also unsure.
Isn’t that just early potty training?
Can I really do this?
What if I get it wrong?
Let us tell you this:
Elimination Communication is not potty training.
It’s about responding gently to your baby’s natural need to eliminate —
in a way that’s relaxed, respectful, and based on connection.
You don’t have to do it all.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
Meet Ayumi Matsuzaka
Experienced EC facilitator
Institute for Elimination Support for Children and Families, Japan
“To support a baby’s elimination is not ‘training’ —
it’s a chance to listen, respond, and connect.”
Let’s learn together.
Let’s create connection, community and presence — together.
