Body as Healer: Somatic Experiencing for Chronic Pain Relief

Produced in collaboration with Dr. Peter A. Levine, PhD + Sounds True

I helped bring Body as Healer to life — an immersive online learning experience exploring Dr. Peter Levine’s renowned Somatic Experiencing® approach for chronic pain relief and trauma healing. Working closely with Dr. Levine and the Sounds True team, I oversaw the creative and post-production process from concept through delivery, shaping the visual and emotional narrative to ensure the teachings felt as gentle, grounded, and embodied as the practices themselves.

This course invited participants to rediscover the body as a source of wisdom and safety through simple yet profound somatic tools — from mindful breathing and grounding awareness to gentle micro-movements. My role included:

• Creative producing and direction — guiding the tone, pacing, and aesthetic of each lesson to support deep engagement and accessibility.

• Post-production leadership — managing editors, sound designers, and motion teams to craft a seamless and sensory-rich viewer experience.

• Story and curriculum development — collaborating with Dr. Levine to structure modules that bridge clinical insight with lived, felt-sense learning.

The result is a transformative learning journey that integrates mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed healing, designed for all mobility levels and experience backgrounds.
