Somatic Experiencing (2013)

A committed student of the contemplative and healing arts for over 25 years. Currently, my interests in health and wellbeing have been focused as an Advanced Level student of Somatic Experiencing® (SE).     

SE® (psychobiological trauma resolution) is a potent method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It is the life's work of Dr. Peter Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE appraoch releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.

The SE approach offers a framework to assess where a person is "stuck" in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professionals including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, body work, addiction treatment, first response, education and others.

Trauma & the Science Behind SE

Trauma may begin as acute stress from a percieved life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stress. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person's ability to function with resilience and ease. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors, accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict.

A little about me...

I'm deeply passionate about restoring ease and wellbeing for myself as well as for my clients. My multifaceted approach to skin care, draws from over 25 years experience in the natural health industry, whole foods, stress identification and reduction, and skin care. My practice is an extension of my personal philosophy of nourishment and nurturing for body, mind and spirit. In my experience,  the integration of these three aspects of being, create the strongest, most resilient foundation for enjoying beautiful skin, as well as a life of health, wonder, satisfaction and ease.
