"Trauma resolved is a great gift, returning us to the natural world of
ebb and flow, empowerment, harmony, and compassion."

Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), developed by Dr. Peter Levine, provides a holistic strategy to achieve healing and resolution of trauma or emotional wounds. This method is founded on the research that although wild animals are often threatened, they rarely show signs of trauma as a result. These animals rely on inner resources that allow them to develop and maintain a level sense of being and productivity in the aftermath of a traumatic experience.
Most of us hold trauma in our bodies, even if we don't realize it. And luckily, the body has it's own organic intelligence and knows how to unwind that trauma once the nervous system is healthy. That is the main purpose of SE ~ to help your nervous system remember how to regulate itself so that you can live life in a more balanced and alive way. This form of therapy is often used for developmental traumas and can be combined with other forms of psychotherapy. The method itself aims to affect a decrease in physical tensions that are formulated immediately after a body experiences trauma. How does SE™work? SE is a biophysiological approach to healing trauma. Peter Levine has said that trauma does not rest in the event but in the individual's nervous system. By paying attention to the client's nervous system, the trained therapist supports the client in their experience of a more 'coherent' and 'resilient' nervous system. What is a typical session like?
The SE trauma resolution method does not require the person to re-tell or re-live the traumatic event. Instead, it offers the opportunity to engage, complete, and resolve--in a slow and supported way--the body's instinctual fight, flight and freeze responses. This resets the nervous system, restores inner balance, enhances resilience to stress, and increases people's vitality, equanimity, and capacity to actively engage in life. The SE Practitioner offers an environment if impartial and compassionate support to facilitate the release of trauma throughout your body. |

“Working with Stacey is a blessing. Her magical, intuitive hands ease my pain and balance and restore my energy. She’s gentle and generous with her time and knowledge, which is considerable. She’s completely devoted to her work and it shows in the results. One of the things I like best in working with her is that she’s able to combine all her trainings to be the most effective for whatever your body needs at the time. Not only do I get an hour of gentle, peaceful touch in a sacred space, I leave feeling better than when I arrived and, over the weeks of working with her, I get to see an upward trend of overall improvement.”
- Deborah F., Speech Therapist
"Stacey is wondrously skillful in her Somatic Experiencing sessions, working with such gentleness that it encourages deep trust and supports diving to the heart of issues at hand. I did her package of 4 and my issues with sleep, that I had worked on for years with other practitioners, disappeared. So amazing to finally fall asleep easily and sleep 8 hours uninterrupted many nights of the week! We managed to shift some ground-level issues that were encoded so young that only non-verbal methods like this could access them. A true master healer!"
- Evalena Rose, MetaTherapist and Channel
