Melissa Stager, EMBA, SEP

Melissa Stager, the owner of Healing Informed Somatic Education, has been managing and developing a diverse range of in-person and online programs for Dr Peter A Levine and the Ergos Institute of Somatic Education since January 2015. She has completed training in Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) and NeuroEffective Touch, with additional training in Relational Bodywork and Somatic Education™ (BASE™). Her in-depth experience working side-by-side with Dr. Levine and other top leaders in the body-mind field has fostered her passion for healing traumatic impact symptoms in a group setting.

Prior to this work, she had an extensive career in curatorial arts and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Arts and Sciences and an EMBA in Business and Technology. Her art, including mixed media sculpture, focused on patterns and childhood trauma narratives.

Somatic Experiencing has provided Melissa the opportunity to develop understanding, ease, and empathy while processing her own attachment, generational, and developmental trauma and the effects it had on her body, mind, and spirit. Her personal dedication to somatic-based trauma healing provides participants and educators with the foundation required for their own exploration and growth.

She resides in Vista, California, as a full-time mother.
