Since her own training in SE, she has been assisting Peter A. Levine and many SE teachers in Europe, Brazil, Hong Kong and South Africa, and continues to assist Peter Levine’s post-advanced workshops in Switzerland.

She is also trained in Clinical Hypnosis, EMDR, CBT, Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) and Tuningboard, as well as being an international supervisor for Ego State Therapy (ESTI).
