Somatic Experiencing® & Green Touch Bodywork® Supervision

In my own words

The words are in your body

My whole search has really been a search for a place in myself that feels safe.

It began when I left New York in 1975. I grew up there, and things were just not working out – I wasn’t happy. So I went across the country to Colorado, where my cousin lived and had a wonderful place. That was where I broke out of the reins of New York and into a whole new life.

I was always searching to find peace in myself, and to feel included – a part of the world. Then I realized that everyone I met carried their own story of what we call trauma, of what had happened in their lives.

In Colorado I studied massage. I loved what it did for my body, and that I could share it with the world. I have always wanted to share what was happening in me, and to find a way where all of us can come together and feel safe.

For many years I taught trauma work while I was still working on my own trauma, without fully embracing it. Then I learned that I needed to take what I know and bring a soft approach to trauma – not to make it a therapeutic thing, but to offer trauma supervision.

What the world calls trauma, I understand as the communication between the nervous system and the mind – a communication that has become disconnected. My work is helping people come back into connection.
