Heike S. Gattnar is Faculty of Somatic Experiencing® International, based in Munich, Germany. SE is a body-oriented approach to trauma resolution developed by Peter Levine, working with autonomic nervous-system regulation, sensation, and the somatic completion of thwarted survival responses. Heike Gattnar started off as a research assistant in the field of Neurophysiology at the Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany, and at MIT in Cambridge, MA (USA). Since 1978 she has been trained in body-, voice- and art-therapy and has been strongly influenced by Jungian Psychology, meditation, and holistic healing approaches.
