Professional Title: Body-oriented Psychotherapist; Counselor Educator

Professional Description: I have worked in the field of counseling for thirty-five years. During that time, I've worked with children, youth and adults, though my most recent clinical work has primarily been with adults.

I have also been a teacher for thirty-five years. I began my work as a teacher-counselor, working with at-risk youth. I have also taught and counseled at the College and University level for twenty-five years. For the last fifteen years, I've been Academic Coordinator for Community-based Graduate Programs in Counseling at the University of Victoria.

In my practice, I work from a body-oriented perspective with people affected by trauma. I have integrated the principles and use of SE, SE touch and table work. Within my practice, I have an ongoing commitment to working with aboriginal communities and individuals, both in my counselling practice and my teaching.

My life partner, Linda, is a school counsellor and also an SEP. We have two children, Peter (no; he is not named after Dr. Levine) and Natalia. We are also grandparents to Brandon, the love of all of our lives.

Professional Title: Mental Health Therapist
and Certified Canadian Counsellor

Professional Description: My first professional incarnation was as an elementary teacher in New Brunswick and Northwest Territories, Canada. After 12 years of being in front of the classroom my focus shifted to psychotherapeutic group work. I studied various humanistic approaches and bodywork at PD Seminars, then earned a Masters degree from the University of Victoria in 1995. Since then I have been working as a therapist at a non-profit community agency, providing short term therapy to adults, training and supervising volunteers, and supervising graduate students' practica. I also have a private practice.

Somatic Experiencing entered my life in 2000 and has been a major focus in my professional orientation since. Incorporating SE bodywork/touch has deepened my experience and strengthened the impact of the therapeutic process. I was privileged to be part of a training team working with First Nations peoples here on Vancouver Island. I am grateful and humbled by what they taught me about the naturalness of somatic work and the power of connection. Collaboration is key. We are not meant to go it alone.

Along with a number of my Canadian colleagues, I also participate in the Canadian Knitting Co-Operative - another collaborative venture which can often be seen supporting SE students at the Advanced level.

Professional Title: Body-Oriented Psychotherapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor

Professional Description: I live and work on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island where I have a private practice as a trauma therapist and counsellor educator. I have worked in the helping field for the past 20 years, and currently a large portion of my work is with early developmental trauma and attachment.

I have been blessed to work in a number of isolated First Nations communities and was taught how communities survive multi-generational trauma, the importance of spirituality in healing, and the overlap between SE and some traditional ways of healing. This experience informs and affects my work with both First Nations and non-First Nations people.

I work from a body-oriented perspective, incorporating SE, movement, touch and touch awareness in my practice.

I also like to play on a regular basis. To that end, I work and play with a fabulous team of SE-affiliated people and can often be found at trainings making jokes in the back of the room and eating chocolate. I surf, wander around in the woods, build parts of my house with my husband, and am part of the Canadian Knitting Co-operative.

SE Level: SEP, SE Faculty, Assoc. Lect. Ki Society International

While studying psychology at the University of Colorado in 1975 he was offered the rare possibility of doing a traditional apprenticeship with Koichi Kashiwaya a Japanese master of mind � body coordination and Ki-Aikido. After 5 years of intensive training he went to Japan to study with the premier teacher in the world Koichi Tohei. The intense physical and mental presence required for the practice helped him to deal with the traumatic effects of a severe head injury suffered as an adolescent. Some years later he met Peter Levine and discovered a powerful and complementary way to work with trauma � Somatic Experiencing. The experience of working with his own near death experience through SE changed his life and has given great inspiration for helping others to work with their traumas. Together with Lael Keen he operates a healing and learning center on the island of Santa Catarina off the south coast of Brasil where they work with SE and teach SE trainings. With Pedro Prado, Sonia Gomes, and Cornelia Rossi they founded SE Brasil, a Brazilian non-profit association, with the goal of bringing Somatic Experiencing and the work of Peter Levine to all regions of Brasil.
