Bihter Kartheuser (Somatic Coach, MA, ICF, NSP)

I’m a world citizen with a multidisciplinary background and a passion for exploring the complexities of being human. After pursuing academic work in sociology and media studies, with over a decade of experience teaching yoga and mindfulness, my curiosity about the human body and psyche led me to specialize in trauma therapy.
Drawn to the transformative power of somatic work, I completed a three-year training and a year of supervised clinical training with NeuroSystemics. Understanding how my nervous system functions and going through many years of embodied therapy and practices have been life altering, therefore I’m enthusiastic about helping more people to cultivate nervous system resilience, empowerment, and the agency for contributing to greater wellbeing and a healthier and happier society.

HandeAk (NeuroSystemics CARE Practitioner, USABP, Mentor in Training )

I graduated from the Radio, TV, and Cinema program in the Communication Faculty at Marmara University in 2005. After working for 11 years in the commercial sector and a film distribution company, I made a career change and began teaching yoga and meditation classes. I obtained my profession as a Mindfulness Teacher and Coach.
After a while, I wanted to enhance my skills in positive psychology and nervous system regulation-based facilitation practices. Therefore, I joined the 3-year NeuroSystemics CARE Training Program in 2020. I completed this program in 2023 and am currently continuing my Clinical Mentorship at NeuroSystemics CARE. Throughout the program and beyond, I have been participating in many CARE 1-1 sessions and Resiliency Circles, deepening my understanding of myself and communities.

Stephanie Sayegh (Somatic Therapist)

My facilitation focuses on you as a whole person and provides an approach that builds on your inner resilience. It will help you tune on your inner strength and your body’s natural ability to heal and grow.
With me, you will explore your perfect imperfections, using them as a resource for growth.

By combining Mindfulness and modern Neuroscience, I help you tap into the vast potential your body and mind hold for healing, encouraging natural growth.

Key Methods and Techniques
The practice is inviting you to unwind, at your own rhythm, the veils of any kind of darkness, through movement, breath awareness, free speech and sometimes even the shelter of a community in group work.
The co-regulation that I will entertain with you, will allow a foundation of safety, from where can sprout a realm of choice.
Indeed, the powerful feeling of safety is the basis for any regulated system to navigate into “change”.

Client Outcomes
With me, you will use ancient wisdom (Yoga, Breathing, Mindfulness) as well as all the tremendous progresses of the neurosciences (Nervous System Regulation through your own biology)

In our sessions, we’ll focus on building nervous system resilience by engaging in open dialogue, becoming aware of natural body movements, and tuning into your breath rhythms. This helps your body’s wisdom to develop regulation and restore itself from trauma.

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and transform your life, I invite you to join me on this journey.
