I began training in somatics (body based therapy modalities) with the school Peter Levine started: Somatic Experiencing. After completing my first year, I decided that the training wasn't addressing all different types of bodies and how structural inequities like racism, poverty, sexism and colonization affected how we hold trauma in the body. 

I switched my training to teacher Kathy Kain (https://somaticpractice.net/) and completed my Touch Skills Training for Trauma Therapists in fall 2024. 

I continue to feel awed and amazed by what the body can tell us, and how it aids in our healing.
