Summary

Susanne Babbel, originally from Germany, moved to the U.S. nearly 20 years ago. Known for her deep listening and insight, she was drawn to psychology through her own journey of personal growth. Her interest in the mind-body connection led her to study somatic psychology, earning master’s degrees from John F. Kennedy University and Santa Barbara Graduate Institute.

Maggie Kline, LMFT, has decades of experience as a school psychologist, family therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® faculty member. She’s co-authored Trauma Through a Child’s Eyes and Trauma-Proofing Your Kids with Peter Levine, and written extensively on trauma-informed care for children.
