Somatic Experiencing Santa Fe, New Mexico Training

Greetings! Friends!

  I wanted to share information about a wonderful upcoming training.

 I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Yoga educator in private practice, who has been in practice in Santa Clarita, Ca and Taos, New Mexico.  I’m also the Assistant for the Somatic Experiencing® Institute here in New Mexico and I’m reaching out to our clinical communities to share some upcoming trauma training opportunities.

Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a worldwide leader in trauma resolution therapy.  SE™ was developed by Dr. Peter Levine, physiologist, psychotherapist, and author of 22 books on trauma.  SE™ is a body centered approach to therapy that helps clients heal from trauma, including relational and attachment trauma.  SE™ helps to alleviate anxiety, depression, and underlying causes of many diagnoses.  SE™ offers a framework to assess where your clients are “stuck” in fight, flight, or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states that underlie many trauma symptoms.  Our educational model is both theoretical and highly experiential, offering you effective skills for restoring nervous system regulation and resolving trauma that can be immediately integrated into your professional practice.

The SE™ community consists of over 12,000 practitioners world-wide.  Disciplines represented include psychologists, counselors, social workers, movement therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and many other professionals.  You can learn more about SE™ with these links:

The Somatic Experiencing Institute (SEI) is offering training starting in 2025 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The training is offered over a 3-year period to become a certified practitioner. The Beginning Year will start in March 2025. The dates for the first training year are:

This is 4 full days of training and licensed clinicians can receive continuing education.  The Somatic Experiencing Institute is also able to offer scholarships and tuition assistance.  There is assistance for both the BIPOC community and those experiencing financial hardship.  You can find more information here:

This October, two in-person Basic Principles of SE™ workshops will be offered on Thursday, October 24th in Santa Fe and Friday, October 25th in Albuquerque.  This Basic Principles of SE™ is an interactive workshop for professionals interested in learning the basic principles and theory of the SE™ model and to learn more about the SE™ Professional Training Program.  You will get to meet members of our assisting team as well.  Below are the links to register for the Basics:
