Gonca Alban completed her Somatic Experiencing training with SOS Internationale, the Somatic Experiencing training body in the UK, a part of the US training programme formed by Peter Levine. Gonca discovered Somatic Experiencing after over a decade of teaching and practising yoga, which increased her awareness of her body, mind and emotions, creating a desire to understand herself and her attitudes and responses in life better and heal old wounds. Her yoga and meditation practice and career provided a natural foundation from which she could grow her understanding of trauma, healing, the connection between mind and body and effective ways of accessing and healing old traumas, stuck fears, phobias, chronic pains, depression, and other ailments, using the body and the mind together.

Her experience, both in herself and her clients, has shown her how powerfully healing the combination of working through the body on one side, and being able to understand, verbalise and make sense of what comes up on the other, can be. Somatic Experiencing brings together these forms of therapy beautifully and effectively, awakening the body’s natural healing mechanisms and allowing deeper understanding, healing and resolution to take place.

Gonca started her Somatic Experiencing practise in an addiction clinic in London, where she worked for two years before joining the ReCentre team. She has been teaching yoga and meditation for many years. She is also a nutritionist, writer and painter.
