“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence. Not only can trauma be healed, but with appropriate guidance and support, it can be transformative.” Peter Levine

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Somatic Experiencing.

I’m Felina Danalis and I help folks master resilience to stress, anxiety and trauma in order to have a more meaningful impact in the world.

I’m glad you’re here. :))) 

Like you perhaps, I came to Somatic Experiencing with my own experience of shock, developmental, systemic and intergenerational trauma. Witnessing a car bombing while I was working as a diplomat in the post-conflict Balkans two decades ago transformed me deeply and put me firmly on the path of healing, transformation and awakening.

When I saw the profoundly healing impact S.E. had on many of my symptoms (including difficulty sleeping, anxiety and interpersonal challenges), I was called to take the three-year intensive training to become a Practitioner.  Since then, I have integrated S.E. into my private individual and group coaching practice (www.felinadanalis.com) helping clients create lives they want to be present to. 

I am especially interested in offering this modality with respect to:

• Psychedelic integration work
• Stress and anxiety
• Bi-cultural/bi-lingual/bi-national issues
• Immigration - diaspora 
• Addiction and eating disorder relapse prevention 
• Spiritual integration
• Intergenerational/collective/systemic trauma
• Vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue for those in the helping professions
• Self-exploration, expansion, creativity and more!

My office is in downtown Palm Springs, California and I also see individuals online around the world. Because healing takes a community of helpful people, group support options are also available, so please feel free to ask about these, too.

Additional information:

• Speaks Greek, Italian, French and Spanish, plus rudimentary Turkish and Serbian (dual U.S.-Greek national)
• Trauma-informed yoga instructor 200 hour
