What is Somatic Experiencing® (SE)?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Somatic Experiencing® is a body-awareness approach to trauma being taught throughout the world. It is the result of over forty years of observation, research, and hands-on development by Dr. Levine. Based upon the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma, Somatic Experiencing has touched the lives of many thousands. SE®restores self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away. Peter has applied his work to combat veterans, rape survivors, Holocaust survivors, auto accident and post surgical trauma, chronic pain sufferers, and even to infants after suffering traumatic births.<o:p></o:p>

After a three year training period which deeply convinced me as to the merit and effectiveness of SE, I was moved to form this group to assist others in healing their post-traumatic vulnerabilities. I am also currently a PhD student in somatic and transpersonal psychology at <st1:placename w:st="on">Meridian</st1:placename><st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype>, offer Zen Shiatsu at the Amitabha clinic in <st1:place w:st="on">Sebastopol</st1:place> and maintain a private practice in Somatic Experiencing and Zen Shiatsu with a focus on embodying the self.

Originally from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Italy</st1:place></st1:country-region>, Kiara was inspired by the beauty of nature and the wisdom of the body to study movement education and holistic health care. After studying Bioenergetics, Do-in, Reiki, movement rehabilitation and Kinesiology she finally found her home with The Alexander Technique, a unique system of movement self care, and Somatic Experiencing (SE), a sensation based method for relieving traumatic residue that blocks our continued growth. Kiara has a private practice in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Sonoma</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">County</st1:placetype></st1:place>to help people heal, and restore deeper connection to Self.
