Bugda Savasir Ulug

Based in Philadelphia, I am a somatic experiencing practitioner with a unique blend of international training and experience. Background in trauma-informed psychotherapy licensed and practiced in Istanbul and currently certified as a Life Coach in the USA, I bring a diverse and holistic approach to supporting individuals through life’s challenges. In 2016, I earned my practitioner certificate in Somatic Experiencing (SEP) from the European Association for Somatic Experiencing. Since then, I have balanced private practice with assisting Somatic Experiencing trainings in both Istanbul and the United States. I provide personal sessions to Beginner and Intermediate Level trainees, Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to community support, volunteering with the Somatic Experiencing team in Istanbul during the COVID-19 pandemic, where I offered online sessions to nurses and first responders. In 2023, I extended this work by providing online sessions to search and rescue teams after the devastating earthquake in Turkey.
