I offered the SSP in a gently titrated way, supporting each clients’ ability to tolerate the protocol. Sessions are weekly one hour for 5 or 10 weeks and include support using Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST parts work), and Somatic Touch. Mentorship is offered as experiential sessions as described above, as one or one coaching or consultation sessions, or in group experientials with other participants.

Shelly Melroe is a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Minnesota, U.S. She provides courses, coaching programs, and trauma therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Since becoming a certified provider of SSP in 2019, she has worked in-person and remotely with hundreds of clients with a focus on chronic pain, dissociation, pre/perinatal and developmental trauma, sexual trauma, addictive behaviors, and narcissistic/codependent dynamics. Her approach incorporates IFS, ISP, EMDR, human development, and family systems. Having been a part of the pilot phases with RRP, she has seen dramatic shifts with pre/perinatal trauma restoration when appropriately supported with other techniques. It has been a passion to integrate techniques to facilitate the restoration of Dynamic Human Intelligence ™ so people can flourish.

Laura Moorehead CST-D, SEP has been offering programs through Unyte since 2019 and has led 100’s of people through their excellent programs. Due to her extensive background in Somatic Experiencing and Somatic EMDR she is able to bring a particular attunement and understanding to her work with clients. She specializes in working with children with learning challenges as well as adults who are looking for a heart centered, in depth approach to healing trauma. Laura believes that one of the most important aspects of being an SSP provider is the capacity to attune to each client who arrives and what their particular nervous system and heart needs may be. Therefore she brings much focus to these skills during mentorship. Each client is unique and what has worked for one person may not work for another, thus she is intent on finding individualized approaches for your clients.
