Facilitators

At HISE, our teaching team blends trauma-informed, body-based methods with a commitment to transformational healing. Rooted in the principles of Somatic Experiencing® developed by Peter A Levine, PhD, our facilitators bring diverse expertise in healing, embodiment, and relational practice, with decades of combined experience designing and leading powerful workshops and retreats worldwide. The team is guided by founder Melissa Stager, EMBA, SEP, and collaborators including Peter A Levine, PhD, Betsy Polatin, Sergio O’Campo, and others who co-create rich, immersive learning experiences grounded in compassion and wholeness.
