Wholeness Recovery Already Inside You
The scientific approach to healing through the body
What is Somatic Experiencing®?
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) works on the nervous system which connects the brain and the body. Awareness of the sensations in the body gives access to the nervous system and the body’s natural healing powers to resolve trauma, shock, and stress related disorders. SE focuses on your body’s natural rhythm to complete stuck actions to resolve trauma and stress, allowing the body’s system to self-organise.
Humans like all living systems in nature have an innate wisdom to process trauma acquired through evolution and life wants to flourish through us. SE is a therapy that can tap into this wisdom through the nervous system to transform you into a harmonised and embodied self, with connection to others.
SE is developed by Dr Peter Levine who has worked with stress disorders and trauma for over 45 years of successful clinical application. Dr Peter Levine developed SE through the multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics. SE is based on the same regulatory and stress discharge mechanisms that humans have as mammals do in the wild. Through the careful study of the mammalian world in the wild who are granted the wisdom by nature to overcome trauma on a regular basis we too can access this wisdom and energy to recover that part of us that has become disconnected to itself, and become in touch with our bodies again.
The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of early emotional and early developmental attachment trauma, or a specific traumatic event. SE works with the nervous system and therefore has a variety of approaches.
To become whole (to heal) it is essential to work on the entire organism, or the somatic being - the mind, soul, and the body.

Who am I?
Wholeness Recovery Already Inside You
You can heal.
You were born with the ingrained ability to sustain yourself.
In the presence of a compassionate other you can find your Wholeness.
I am a Somatic Experiencing ® Practitioner (SEP), and my interest in psychotherapy was ignited by my own childhood trauma history. I met Dr Gabor Maté when participating in a retreat which took me deep into my healing.
Worked in the banking and financial industry in the UK and internationally across many jurisdictions. The work environment was at best fast paced, competitive, and stressful. I understand the working culture well and the impact it can have on health. My recovery process helped me maintain good physical and mental health, be more productive, joyful, and eventually become a trauma therapist to help others on their journey.
It was sometime challenging living as an ex-pat which involved travel, which I also did for pleasure, since the new space felt unfamiliar, like being away from my social networks, and not having a new established schedule. Applying my tools in SE helped me return to a sense of calm and socially engage with others to make new friends.
I received feedback from psychologists working in the trauma healing field, including from a member in Gabor Maté’s team about my potential as a therapist because of my healing journey which encouraged me to become a therapist. I then started to learn Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) which I completed in 2019, when I started to work in the field, after the three training with Dr Peter Levine’s institute. This included supervisory hours, some of which I had with Dr Peter Levine himself. I received additional training from him for clients who participated or were impacted by war.
I also work with pre and post processing of plant medicines.
Having been through the process I am passionate about what I do. I guide my clients in their healing process by working compassionately with their central nervous system, where the trauma is held. My aim for my client is to resolve the trauma, to bring calm, and meet lifes challenges.
You can find me registered on the SE Trauma Institute SE Practitioner Directory.
