Susan Ackerman Joseph

I am a somatic practitioner, dreamworker and multi-media artist. I believe in our inherent capacity for resilience, growth and healing, and I trust the body’s innate wisdom. I hold space for individuals and groups on their journey toward embodied healing and wholeness, supporting clients working through complex trauma, negotiating relationships, decision making, developing creativity, and connecting with their inner guidance. I also offer somatic dreamwork with individuals and in workshop settings. I provide sessions on-line and in person in my studio.

My education and training includes SEP certification (2023), Kathy Kain’s Touch Skills Training (online) (2022), Psychoneuroenergetics certification (2019), Point Holding Process/Somatic Release Techniques Certification (2019), MFT (1996).  I value supporting the SE community by assisting trainings, and am approved as a personal session credit provider for SE students at the beginning level.
