A Space to Experience SE From the Inside Out

Are you navigating your Somatic Experiencing® training and longing for the kind of support that helps you truly embody what you’re learning?

I remember my own SE training journey: the nervous excitement of learning this powerful approach, the uncertainty about whether I was “doing it right” with clients, and the profound impact of my own personal sessions.

Those sessions weren’t just about checking off requirements. They became the foundation for how I understood SE in my body, witnessed the flow of a session, and heard how experienced practitioners naturally wove SE language and concepts into their work.

Now, as an SE Beginning Level Personal Session Provider with over 10 years of trauma recovery experience, I’m honored to offer that same support to students like you.

You Might Be Feeling…

The weight of requirements hovering over you, wondering when you’ll find time to complete everything
Uncertainty in your practice as you try integrating SE with clients. Did I track that correctly? Should I have gone slower?
A desire to expand your capacity so you can hold space for your clients’ nervous system activation without becoming dysregulated yourself
Curiosity about the nuances. How do experienced practitioners actually word things? What does the rhythm of a full session really feel like?

These feelings are completely normal. They’re part of the journey. And personal sessions are designed to help you navigate exactly these experiences.

Why Personal Sessions Matter

It’s Not Just About the Credit Hours

While personal sessions fulfill your SE training requirements, they offer something far more valuable: the opportunity to experience SE in your own nervous system while learning from an experienced practitioner. In our work together, you’ll:

Experience SE techniques firsthand so they become embodied knowledge, not just intellectual concepts

Observe SE in action and notice how techniques flow together in real time

Hear the language of SE woven into therapeutic conversation

Build your nervous system capacity to hold more activation and regulate more effectively

Gain confidence in your ability to practice SE with your own clients

Receive support and encouragement as you navigate the challenges of learning a new modality

Personal sessions bridge the gap between classroom learning and embodied practice. They’re where SE stops being something you know and becomes something you are.

What Makes These Sessions Educational AND Healing

These sessions serve a dual purpose: they support your personal growth while also advancing your professional development as an SE practitioner.

You’ll Receive:

Experiential Learning

Feel SE principles in your own body (pendulation, titration, resourcing, tracking sensations) so you understand them from the inside out

Clinical Modeling 

Observe how I structure sessions, make clinical decisions, and integrate SE language and concepts into the therapeutic process

Real-Time Education 

I’ll answer questions about SE as they arise and offer brief explanations of techniques I’m using and why I chose particular intervention points

Therapeutic Support

 Work on areas where you feel stuck or contracted, building your ability to stay present with difficult material (both your own and your clients’)

Professional Encouragement

Have your experiences normalized and receive the validation you need to trust yourself as you grow into this work

Sessions Available In-Person and Virtually

In-Person: Marietta, GA Office

Virtual: Available to SE students anywhere (not limited by state licensing laws since these are educational sessions)

Session Length: 60 minutes 

Investment: $175 per session ($100 for SEI scholarship students)

What to Expect in Your Session

Each personal session is tailored to where you are in your SE journey and what you need most in this moment. You might come wanting to:

Work through your own nervous system patterns
Experience specific SE techniques you’re learning about in training

Process your own trauma in a body-centered way

Simply receive the gift of being held in a regulated, attuned therapeutic space

While the session focuses on your experience, I’ll also weave in educational elements: briefly naming what I’m noticing, explaining why I’m making certain choices, or answering questions about how to apply what we’re doing to your own practice.

The goal is always threefold: support your personal healing, deepen your understanding of SE, and build your confidence as a practitioner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I ask questions during the session?

Absolutely. While the primary focus is your experience, I welcome questions about SE techniques, clinical decisions, or how to apply what we’re working on to your own practice.

What if I don't have something specific to "work on"? 

That’s completely fine. Sometimes the most valuable sessions are simply experiencing SE without an agenda, letting your nervous system guide what needs attention.

Do you sign my session log?

 Yes, I’ll sign your log for each Beginning Level personal session we complete together.

What's your cancellation policy? 

Please provide 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid being charged for the session.

I'm not in Georgia - can I still work with you?

 Yes! Because these are educational sessions rather than psychotherapy, they’re available virtually to SE students anywhere, regardless of state licensing boundaries.
