Founder

Somatic Compassion

Biography

After a long career as an anesthesiologist and international leader in healthcare quality and patient safety, I founded an international movement for compassionate healthcare. In 2020, I quit medical practice to work as a trauma therapist and to explore the neuroscience of healing. This led to the development of somatic compassion, which is offered free to everyone.

Why I support the Compassion Coalition

The power of Somatic compassion - the combination of compassionate presence and soothing touch - is the most astounding discovery of my life. Ordinary people can heal trauma quickly and easily with the help of just one caring person, after just five minutes of instruction. I wish to join my former colleagues in the world of compassion, in freely sharing this breakthrough through your networks.
