VoseSomatic

Hi, I’m Daniel, a somatic educator, nervous system specialist, and author with over 10,000 hours of practice. For more than 18 years, I’ve helped thousands of individuals, couples, and practitioners transform the way trauma lives in the body. My background includes a master’s degree in Somatic Psychology, certification in Somatic Experiencing, and years of teaching attachment- and trauma-informed methods to therapists and healers around the world. But none of that is where my story began. At 12 years old, I was lost in addiction. My brain was fogged from drugs, my body wracked with migraines, anxiety, and stress. I couldn’t hold a conversation without forgetting what was said. Friendships fell apart. My family feared for me. I remember feeling like life was closing in, as if I wouldn’t make it. I started going to 12-step meetings at 14, surrounded by others who were also carrying unbearable trauma. It was in those rooms that I first saw how much pain lived beneath the surface of addiction, and I knew this was what I wanted to dedicate my life to understanding. I explored Native American church ceremonies, studied psychology, and slowly rebuilt myself. My search eventually led me into somatic psychology. After completing my undergraduate and master’s degrees, I began clinical work at one of the top treatment centers in the country. There, I sat with hundreds of clients each year, seeing trauma in its rawest form. Those years gave me the crucible to refine the same framework that saved my life. One that could reliably help others release trauma at its roots. Today, that framework has become what I call Trauma Alchemy: Regulate, Reconnect, Regenerate. Born out of my own suffering, tested in treatment centers, and now taught worldwide, it has helped thousands find the freedom they thought was out of reach. I now live a life I never thought possible: clear-headed, deeply connected in marriage, grounded in meditation, free of drugs, and devoted to guiding others through the same transformation. If you feel lost, know this: I’ve been there too, and freedom is possible.
