Yvonne Guertin

Yvonne’s integrative psychotherapy and bodywork private practice in San Francisco is grounded in the fundamentals of awareness, mindfulness, relationships, and connection. She invites non-judgmental curiosity. What is keeping her clients from living their lives to the fullest? What are the stories and traumas their bodies are holding and suffering from? The daughter of an immigrant, Yvonne's mother lived her early teen years in Europe surviving the daily fears and horrors of World War II. While growing up in New England, Yvonne experienced and witnessed first hand the multi-generational impact of trauma. During her Somatic Experiencing training, she experienced the healing that is possible when we listen to the wisdom of our bodies. Slowing down and paying attention to our body’s language is powerful work. There is an allowing of discharge and completion of the instinctual survival energies which results in a restored sense of well-being.
