Jeanna is the 1st Latina SEP in the Houston area and the Lead Training Assistant for the Houston and St. Louis Somatic Experiencing (SE) trainings. As of 2021, Jeanna is now on the road to becoming a SE trainer for Somatic Experiencing International (SEI) as she was recently welcomed onto the SEI Faculty track. She continues to show her dedication to helping all individuals in our community have access to excellent trauma treatment and healing.

In 2009, Jeanna began her SE training in Austin Texas, which was the first and only city in Texas at the time to offer SE training. After realizing the impact that SE would truly have on the resolution of trauma for individuals she began to contemplate how to bring this model to Houston. In 2013 she began to explore, have small brain storming meetings and was amazed that although Houston is one of the largest cities in the U.S. there were only 9 SE trained therapist in the city, including herself. So she set out on a journey to bring this incredible trauma healing model to Houston and expand the available trauma healing practitioners.

After countless trips to other cities to see how they formulated their trainings, built their trauma healing communities and created momentum she was ready to bring SE to Houston. With the help of those other few SE trained therapists in Houston, The Somatic Experiencing International, a great Somatic Experiencing trainer Dave Berger and a beautiful Coordinator Leah Gaston, we started our first SE training in Houston in 2017 at the Council on Recovery. Today, 2021, we are beginning our 3rd Generation of SE students who will go on to be Somatic Experiencing trained professionals in our Houston community. From here the trainings will continue and the possibilities for trauma healing within our city and beyond will keep growing.

Jeanna wanted to have a site dedicated to bringing awareness to the community of Houston and surrounding areas that there are practitioners in our city who are ready and trained in SE that can help. We follow the words of the founder of SE, Peter Levine, Ph.D, who said, “trauma is a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence”.
