Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, this approach builds resilience in the body's protective responses, gently freeing up energy in the process. SE™ tools allow me to facilitate shifts with stress-related symptoms and nervous system dysregulation expressed physically as anxiety, depression, pain, immobility, and dissociation. My focus is resolving trauma so that you can be yourself. SE helps in resolving shock trauma (such as from impact, or an event), as well as disconnect of trauma that’s developed over time, or in early childhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64401ef2457c502ad39f8791/8248791a-c14a-4ab9-b531-bad3f924142f/0E9505F7-E6FA-4030-88C7-622B0B1FC1FD_1_105_c.jpg My Practice - For Students in the 3 year Somatic Experiencing(R) professional training Fulfill your SEP requirements with sessions and consults for credit, as you work toward completing SEI’s 3-year professional SE training.

Traveling through my 20s, and living in Asia, then Europe, I taught English while immersed in other cultures. When my husband’s job took us to the USA, I was ready at age 31 to try something new. Massage therapy, a part-time job while our kids were young, developed into a purposeful direction for me. Over the years of continuing ed, I learned gentle osteopathic techniques (craniosacral, visceral) which helped expand my therapeutic focus to whole-body patterns. This “less is more” approach is a perfect complement to Somatic Experiencing, where we support embodiment of the whole person, through relationship. Where we don’t “fix” people, but elicit the natural healing response. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64401ef2457c502ad39f8791/55e5f807-b174-4628-b056-97717bc57294/0A32D632-9AAE-4073-B142-5E79908CF7B6_1_105_c.jpg About - More About Me In relocating this year from California to Oregon, I’m still finding my way around. Just finding our way: isn’t that what we’re all doing? And yet, I was pretty clueless about this universal truth as a young person, buying into the cultural value of being self-sufficient, finding answers on my own. My tough armor finally began to soften after learning in my Somatic Experiencing ® training about the many ways our nervous systems protect us. I became newly ready to receive needed support which – over time – transformed how I connect with the world and with people. No longer always in flight mode, I’m so grateful to be here, expressing my creativity, socially engaged and available. As I get to know my new neighborhood, you’ll often find me out gardening, hiking with family or friends, or singing in a community chorus. https://www.suzannesvw.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://www.suzannesvw.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2023-05-17 https://www.suzannesvw.com/students daily 0.75 2024-03-19
