Dr. Susanna Bergin
Chiropractor and Trauma Healer
After some extreme trauma as a teenager, I spent 14 years feeling like someone turned the brightness of my life all the way down. I felt numb in my body, disconnected from the people in my life, and overwhelmed by just about everything. Panic attacks were a regular occurrence. I remember thinking as a 20 year old, “Is this it?” Life seemed pretty lifeless.
It wasn’t until I started addressing my trauma through my body that the cloud began to lift. I started to breathe deep again. I started to see my surroundings with more clarity. I started feeling FEELINGS again! Joy, grief, love, fear. Connection! Connection to my life, but most of all connection to myself.
I teach people how to trust their bodies because I know that a full, joyful, connected life is possible after trauma. And I’m here to show you how.
This path is not a well-paved one, I have had to piece together my education of the mind and body in many ways. I am a Doctor of Chiropractic and my primary hands-on tool is a very gentle chiropractic technique called Network Spinal. I am also trained in massage and pull from other massage and chiropractic modalities as needed. I am also trained in Somatic Experiencing and Embodiment coaching. My over-arching framework for each session is based on my own modality called the Body Release Method which is a gentle and accessible way to get really clear on exactly what nervous system state you are currently in, and specific tools to bring yourself into more regulation.
