Our Mission
Our mission is to support nervous system awareness and embodied practice, empowering individuals to build regulation, resilience, and trust in their body’s innate wisdom.
Alana Johnston MSW, SEP, CPLC
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® & Somatic Coach
Hello, I’m Alana. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®, Certified Professional Life Coach, and trained 200-hour yoga teacher. I’m grateful to walk alongside individuals who are seeking greater steadiness, resilience, and connection within themselves.
My work is rooted in nervous system awareness and embodied learning. Together, we build the capacity to notice what is happening internally and to respond with greater choice and care. I believe sustainable change unfolds gradually, through pacing, consent, and curiosity.
I completed the three-year professional training in Somatic Experiencing®, a body-oriented approach developed by Peter Levine, PhD, that supports the nervous system’s natural ability to regulate and restore balance. This work is grounded in respect for the body’s innate intelligence and its ability to reorganize when given the right conditions. I also serve as a Somatic Experiencing® Beginning I personal session provider, supporting students as they progress through their training.
I bring eighteen years of experience in human services, including clinical work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in a trauma-focused setting. That experience shaped my deep respect for the nervous system and continues to inform my trauma-informed approach. The services offered through this practice are non-clinical and are not psychotherapy.
In our work, we focus on education, experiential skill-building, and practical tools that can be woven into everyday life. My approach is relational and collaborative, prioritizing safety, autonomy, and steady growth over urgency or intensity.
Outside of my professional work, I find grounding in nature, yoga, music, and time with my family, rhythms that mirror the same values of presence and connection I bring into this practice.
Camille Redmann
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®, 200HR (RYT) Registered Yoga Teacher
Hello, I’m Camille. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® and 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, with advanced training in Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists.
For more than a decade, I have worked alongside people who have experienced trauma. That work has shaped how I understand human resilience, teaching me that wellness is larger than the treatment of symptoms. I became increasingly curious about what becomes possible when we create space not only for what has happened to us, but also for the body’s capacity to reconnect, regulate, and experience life differently.
My work here is grounded in Somatic Experiencing® and a deep respect for the ways our bodies are constantly communicating with us. Rather than asking you to push through, perform, or get somewhere quickly, I invite you to slow down and notice what is already happening within you. We work with those experiences gently and in manageable amounts, allowing your nervous system the time and space it needs to respond.
Touch may also be incorporated into our work when it feels supportive and is always collaborative and consent-based. I completed Touch Skills for Trauma Therapists, 87 hours of training with Kathy Kain, a leader in body-based approaches to trauma, deepening my understanding of how intentional touch and co-regulation can support greater awareness, containment, connection, and capacity within the nervous system. Touch is never required.
I’m also honored to hold space as an assistant with Somatic Experiencing International’s professional training program in St. Pete Beach, Florida, through May 2027. This experience allows me to continue deepening my own relationship with the work while supporting others as they learn and embody the principles of SE.
I believe deeply in the body’s ability to communicate, adapt, and reorganize when given the right conditions. My role is not to tell your nervous system where it should go, but to help create a space where you can become more curious about what it is already trying to tell you.
This is the heart of what I hope to offer at Verity: a place to experience yourself with greater awareness, choice, connection, and trust.
Outside of this work, I find my own grounding through movement, yoga, time outdoors, relationships, curiosity, and continuing to learn about the extraordinary complexity of being human.
