    Linda Stelte:

    ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

    Linda has been teaching SE internationally for the past 5 years, and within Canada for the past 8 years. Her teaching of SE is informed in part by her 20 years in the human service profession where she has had the opportunity to apply Somatic Experiencing® in a variety of diverse settings and with people of various ages. Linda has co-developed and implemented a trauma informed treatment unit for children and youth at a residential treatment center. In addition, Linda has had and continues to have the rich experience of working in a small First Nation community on Canada’s west coast. She also has a small private practice in her hometown of St.Albert, Alberta, Canada. Linda has an interest in the impact of generational trauma, early trauma, attachment and how SE supports the healing of these experiences.
