With graduate degrees in physical therapy (Stanford University) and somatic psychology (California Institute of Integral Studies) he has pursued bringing a unique, integrative perspective to his clients and students for 45 years as a physical therapist, somatic psychotherapist and bodyworker. He uses a diverse array of traditional and complementary healing practices to help individuals and couples. Dave is a senior international Somatic Experiencing® teacher, founder of BASE™: Relational Bodywork and Somatic Education and Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner. He is one of only a few authorized by Dr. Peter Levine to teach SE™ master classes.
“Dave Berger’s BASE™ training provided me with an array of new tools to “read bodies” and treat clients with complex trauma. His videos, graphics, one-to-one mentoring, clear demos and sense of humor made new learning easy and fun! BASE™ is a MUST for practitioners wanting to increase their skills in hands-on somatic work.”
