Melanie Gummer

Melanie is a trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Somatic Experiencing is an approach developed by Dr Peter Levine in the States as an effective way to heal post-traumatic stress. It involves working with the mind and body to improve our ability to self-regulate, reconnect with positive feelings and release areas of physical tension which hold traumatic memories. We work together on your needs and challenges, at a pace which is manageable for you.  

Melanie has personal experience of overcoming trauma and chronic ill health and parenting an adopted child with severe PTSD.

Melanie is a qualified yoga teacher and healer, and loves the creative arts, philosophy and spirituality, nature and exploring our world.

Melanie offers an initial chat free of charge on the phone or online.
