MY TRAUMA STORY
Somatic Experiencing changed everything for me, both as a drummer and a human being.
Dr. Peter Levine
Founder of Somatic Experiencing
PhDs in both Biology and Psychology
Receiving this body-based trauma therapy helped me understand how deeply unresolved tension and past experiences were shaping my playing and my life. That realization was both humbling and transformative. Today, I’m committed to sharing how Somatic Experiencing can profoundly support artistic performance and emotional well-being, helping artists reconnect with their creativity from the inside out.
I am truly honored to have been accepted into the Somatic Experiencing International Certification Program, training to become a trauma healing practitioner. The beauty of this work reconnects us with the joy of our authentic selves, saving us from our worst and guiding us to our best. Intuitive healing lives in our nervous systems and is less of a mystery than ever.
Betsy Polatin
My Biggest Hero
I am fortunate to have studied with Betsy, witnessing her brilliant pairing of Somatic Experiencing and Alexander Technique in artistic performance embodiment teaching and lecturing at Boston University and around the world. Betsy’s work inspired me to seek out an SE/AT practitioner for my own healing and I am a first-hand witness to its transformative power in art and in life.
