David Forster
Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner & Guide
David offers a quiet, confidential space for inner healing. He is not a doctor, psychiatrist, or psychotherapist; he is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP) trained in neuroscience and mindfulness.
His approach is gentle and embodied. Rather than setting goals or analyzing the past, David guides clients to listen to the wisdom of their bodies. He supports individuals in navigating life’s challenges, regulating their nervous systems, and finding safety after stress, burnout, grief, or trauma.
Key Details:
- Approach: Somatic talk sessions focused on nervous system regulation, titration, and resourcing. No homework, no pressure to perform.
- For Students: Accredited practice sessions available for SE students (up to Intermediate III).
- Languages: English & French.
- Important: As a private somatic practitioner, sessions are not reimbursed by Swiss basic health insurance (LaMal).
A Note from David:
"I used to work in high-pressure business schools and big companies. I thought strength meant pushing harder. I was wrong. I learned that real strength is being able to rest and feel safe. My own journey with dyslexia taught me that healing isn’t a straight line—it’s messy and unique. In my practice, you don’t have to be perfect. Mistakes are welcome. Silence is welcome. My only goal is to offer you a safe place to be exactly who you are."
