Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Team
Who we are:
Somatic Experiencing Practitioners
based in Asia & working globally
Welcome to Back To Your Body Somatic Therapy, a safe space to attend to your nervous system and trauma through the body. We are a small team of Somatic Experiencing practitioners trained in the method of Dr. Peter Levine, as well as in other somatic and trauma healing modalities.
We work one-on-one with individuals and couples, and offer teletherapy services for clients worldwide.
Every person is unique and so should be the approach to healing.
About us
Apart from being Somatic Experiencing practitioners and somatic trauma healing professionals, we are also humans who have been on a healing journey long enough to know how challenging it can be. Our lived experience and our professional training in multiple body-oriented trauma healing approaches allow us to meet our clients with understanding, sensitivity and compassion for where they are on their healing journey.
Each one of us is different with a unique skill set and expertise. But what brings us together is the awe for the incredible innate self-healing capacity our bodies and our nervous systems hold and the appreciation for the SE approach that allows us to access it.
Meet Elena Jacinta
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) & Founder of Back To Your Body
Works with:
individuals (women)
Available for sessions:
online & in person
Location:
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Specialty:
developmental trauma (including pre-verbal), shock trauma (including medical trauma, accidents, assaults), generational trauma
About:
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I support women on their healing journey, guiding them back home to themselves and their bodies.
My practice is rooted in over 20 years of working with the body through movement – initially as a dance artist, later as a yoga facilitator, and currently as a trauma-trained somatic practitioner.
I believe in a slow and gentle approach and I lead with compassion and attunement creating a safe space to attend to the wounds that are not meant to be healed on our own.
One of my specialties is working with the issues resulting from early childhood and pre-verbal trauma, including prenatal wounding, that often show up as emotional or physiological symptoms that seem to have no context or medical cause. I also enjoy supporting women recovering after shock trauma and offer guidance in repairing relational ruptures and generational wounds.
In my SE sessions, I weave in elements of somatic touch work, NeuroAffective Touch, emotional embodiment of Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP), IFS-based somatic parts work along with applied Polyvagal Theory to address a range of psychosomatic issues.
I believe that all of us have the innate resilience and capacity to overcome the grip of our past, and as we (re)discover it with the right support, we can find more ease, freedom and joy in being alive.
Pricing:
35 EUR for the first 30-min session, 75 EUR for subsequent 1-hour session or 210 EUR for a package of 3 sessions.
Meet Arpitha Shankar
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP)
Works with:
individuals and couples
Available for sessions:
online
Location:
Pondicherry, India
Specialty:
developmental and attachment trauma, shock trauma
About:
I am a Somatic Experiencing practitioner with the background of being a birthworker for many years. Having been a childbirth educator, and a doula and having guided and supported many families cross over the sacred threshold of birth, I have been deeply curious and fascinated by the way the wisdom of the body mysteriously surfaces during birth.
Being a mother of 2 spirited young children, I have committed to parenting as my spiritual path. Parenting brings up many of one’s early childhood relational scars to the surface. My somatic healing journey allowed me to come back to these unhealed fragmented parts of me with a loving presence. This further inspired me to train in Developmental trauma and attachment woundings as well.
A culmination of these trainings allows me to work very relationally with my clients as I deeply believe that we get wounded relationally and hence we heal better in a relational container, in connection to a compassionate well-attuned human presence. My work focuses on embodiment, relational healing, and authentic communication with a trauma-informed approach. I believe that when we connect with our bodies, we can discover our true selves, thus enabling us to have deeper, fulfilling relationships with ourselves and the world around us.
