Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented therapeutic model that helps heal trauma and other stress disorders. Developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D., it is the result of the multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, with more than 45 years of successful clinical application.

Somatic Experiencing holds the idea that the MINDBODY is designed to heal intense and extreme experiences.

Somatic Experiencing offers a new and hopeful perspective on trauma. It views the human as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity to heal.

In 2023 Riikka graduated from Edinburgh, Scotland and is practising SE with her clients. Riikka is part of Finland’s Somatic Experiencing training team and in 2025 joins also Sweden and Greece’s teams as well.
