Dr. Heller began her work with Peter Levine, founder of the "Somatic Experiencing" (SE) method of trauma resolution in 1989. As a Senior Faculty member for FHE she teaches SE in the US (New York, California, and Colorado) and worldwide, including Denmark, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, Israel, Germany and Australia.

She brings her 30 years of experience in the Diamond Logos spiritual practice to weave what she has learned in the field of body, mind, and spiritual sciences in a holistic approach to trauma healing.

Her book "Crash Course," a guidebook on how to resolve auto accident trauma, is used as a resource for healing general trauma in the US and internationally. In addition, she has created a highly successful series of media resources for SE practitioners and others interested in healing trauma.

As dynamic speaker and teacher Diane has been featured at prestigious international seminars and conferences and is the author of numerous articles in the field, including a Surviving Columbine, a video production dealing with the Columbine High School tragedy, which was featured on CNN.

 
As president of Trauma Solutions, a psychotherapy training organization, and with a limited private practice, Dr. Heller concentrates her efforts to support the SE community through an array of SE and other specialized psychotherapeutic topics.
