My path toward becoming a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner started with a major internal crash. I  felt seriously wounded by events that occurred with a friend. How things got to that point, is directly connected to traumas I had experienced growing up. There had been emotional abandonment and scarring. I have done traditional therapy and something called Heartwork. I have studied homeopathy and herbology. I have had a meditation practice for over 35 years.  None of that touched the stored trauma that I couldn’t remember… but I found that the body could help.

With SE, I have come to learn that the sicknesses, aches and pains, and panic I experience as an adult has a direct connection to my upbringing. I decided to study in part to heal myself, and in part to facilitate healing in others.  I have also studied Quantum Touch which brings a strong healing connection between the earth and the energies that flow in everything. The combination is particularly helpful.

In recent years, I recognized a tug to be with people who are dying and those who walk with people or animals who are dying.  I trained as an End of Life doula, something that has allowed me to combine all my experiences.   Using SE, we work to ease the pain and discomfort with the dying process as well as the grief that comes with losing this precious life. We learn walk toward death together.

In my work with SE, I don't pretend to know what it is like to be Deaf or a CODA but I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), have worked as an interpreter for over 40 years. I am comfortable working through the many issues that arise for interpreters and Deaf people.

Please contact me for more information and see if we are a good match.  I look forward to meeting you.
