I found very interesting the sessions I had of the Somatic Experiencing technique, with Savera Noriega. I observed rapid results. I was able to reconnect more wisely with my body. I could realize how wise it is and it has a healing power. Savera, certainly, was a crucial instrument in this process with her firm, kind and intelligent demeanour. Thank you very much for everything.

As a therapist, Savera is truly present and responsive, warm and precise in her interventions. I've gained first hand experience that there are real choices and possibilities to transform traumatic experiences into manageable ones. I particularly appreciate her guidance and teaching on how to experience my own power and be really in charge of the experiences that appeared bigger than me. Savera is trustworthy, focused, playful, humorous, supportive, energetic. Her way of working and her ethics have made me feel really safe in our relationship so I could have brought deeply personal experiences.  As a teacher, Savera is very supportive, encouraging and great fun!

Savera is supporting the learning process in the Somatic Experiencing study group I am part of. Savera is a wonderful support in terms of her presence, guidance during our practice sessions, support in playful and creative learning even with difficult to understand subjects. She is a heartfelt and warm person that allows us as students to thrive and explore on our own providing a safe container to try, make mistakes, freely ask questions and search for our own solutions. She selflessly shares her experience as a therapist, she helps us feel safe to share our concerns regarding our SE practice and I have deep trust in her experience as an SE practitioner. I am looking forward to also starting my personal SE sessions with her soon. 

I got to know Savera as an assistant during my SE training in the beginning level during 2020 and 2021. Savera as an assistant stood out with her acceptance of our different styles of work and values which we, the trainees, have brought with us to the training. That experience facilitated learning processes and the readiness to work and practise new skills and modalities. Her high degree of awareness for safety during our work was well balanced and left enough space for our learning experiences during the training on the one hand . On the other hand, Savera took responsibility for group processes and didn't shy away to turn to colleagues for enhancing the degree of support for us, the trainees, when needed. After our experience with Savera during our training my study group chose Savera as one of our favourites for assisting our training and SE studies through additional practice and study hours and I engaged in an individual session with Savera as an SE practitioner as well. I experience Savera the practitioner as somebody whose benign intentions are directed towards a healing experience without the overload of intrusive care for the client. She leads gently and subtly through intimate processes of growth, awareness and healing by also holding a common space for therapy to happen. I like her curiosity and honest quest for the clients' view which I experience as embedded in personal integrity and ethics. Savera's lightness in the approach to the client increases the level of capacity to renegotiate difficult experiences and her warmth and professionalism in terms of knowledge and expertise enrich the therapy with the experience of honest interest for the client.

Mijn sessies bij Savera waren zeer  heelend ! 
Door haar zachte manier van werken kwamen we al snel bij de dingen die me blokkeerden. 
Ik voelde me veilig en gesteund en kon me daardoor volledig aan het proces overgeven .
Echt een aanrader !

I never expected that I would find a therapist that understood me in my struggles. I found the right person in Savera. It is so comforting to have someone that follows me in my accomplishments and helps me through my struggles. Savera has been nothing but amazing in helping me through my struggle with PTSD. She has never made me feel as though there is something wrong with me, rather she has provided me with lots of information, new skills to feel my connection with my body, the importance of slowing down and endless support. I cannot recommend her therapy enough, as the kindness starts from the moment I saw her in the door and continues even after I have rounded up my therapy.” 

When I started seeing Savera I was so stressed out and overwhelmed with many different stressors in my life, my marriage was at the point of divorce. From day one when I met her I was comfortable, I never felt judged, I felt so understood and was able to express my feelings. She was not only able to help me dig deeper into my wounds and sort through the struggles I was dealing with. Later on me and my husband were able to work together in couples counseling and save our marriage, however we changed drastically in the ways we were compromising that no longer felt good.”

When I referred my first client, I was worried it would be too expensive for them. But after their first two sessions, they told me it was the best investment they’ve made. I'm so grateful Savera's support with her stress management skills to my coaching services is a great match.

Ik ervaar Savera als ontzettend gedreven en toegewijd. Ze weet telkens mijn gevoelige plek te vinden en leert me om daar op een positieve manier naar te kijken.  Dit helpt me om me terug plezier te ervaren en me gelukkiger te voelen. Na iedere sessie kan ik voelen dat ik een stap vooruit heb gezet. Heel fijn en hoopgevend om te ervaren.

Savera is of great help for me. She’s very skilled and sensitive and knows exactly when to tell the right words at the right time. As far as emotions are concerned, she’s the cool guy who teaches you how to surf the waves instead of denying them, battling them and ultimately drawning under them. Severely abused as a child, I’ve been following a talking therapy for several years, which helps me to understand. After reading “Waking the tiger”, I’ve found Savera and she’s been helping me to act on my emotions, meaning she helps me find peace. Her input is absolutely key. Thank you.
