Process-Oriented Facilitation Training - Practice Sessions
As part of this 10-month Facilitator Training, students are working to practice the skills they are learning in process-oriented psychology, working with the body/Radical Soma and following David’s unshaming approach. Some students are interested in offering free sessions with people outside of their training cohorts to practice deepening these skills.
If you are interested in working with one of David’s students, please read through the bios below and reach out to book with them directly via their email.
Student Bios:
Devorah Lezell
I’m passionate about supporting people through challenging times with empathy and compassion, helping them explore their experiences without shame. I especially enjoy working with people who are navigating relationships, life transitions, or moments of self-discovery, offering a space where they can be seen and heard as they are. I bring understanding and presence to every interaction. My focus is on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where people can engage with themselves and their lives openly and honestly.

I'm drawn to working with people who desire more freedom in their bodies and lives, who are curious about trusting their impulses and living with greater aliveness and creative flow. My work focuses on body-centered exploration as a pathway to reclaiming vitality and authentic expression. I'm particularly interested in how this work intersects with trauma and our relationship to food and body. I identify as a white woman.

Keri Sender
I am passionate about the wholeness Unshaming brings, as I know that uncovering what's hidden brings the whole world more into Love. I have specialized in sessions based on relational/emotional trauma and hardship for the past ten years, but I am open to Unshaming pretty much anything! Raised by New York Jews, I currently subscribe to Truth and Nature as my religion, as I live off-grid in an eco-sanctuary in a remote region of Hawai'i. I have been a part of the LGBTQIA+ / Queer community for the past 25+ years.

Nancy Shiner
As women, we have often been taught to stay small, be silent, don’t take up space. We hide our wounds, our difficulties, as well as the ways history, family and society have harmed us. However the cost of this diminishing is not only the pain it causes, but the ways it undermines our greatest strength; the capacity to meet ourselves most fully when we are supported to dig deep and unfold our shadow. My name is Nancy Shiner. I have the tools, training and ability to work with trauma that lives in the body. To connect with its soma, to attune to its voice and to attend to the ways we can unfold its innate wisdom. Trauma needs a witness. It is my great honour and passion to create a deeply witnessing space within which together, you and I, have the freedom and opportunity to do this sacred work.

Teri Chettiar
I’m Teri Chettiar, a coach who specializes in helping neurodivergent people unlearn internalized shame and reconnect with their authentic way of living, working, and expressing themselves. The people that I support typically gravitate toward unshaming work because they struggle not only to focus and create, but also to simply be themselves without self-criticism. I primarily work with writers and other creators who identify as neurodivergent, however I am eager to support anyone who feels called to live more authentically, but experiences this as a challenge. In addition to my coaching practice, I’m an author and teacher, as well as a person with ADHD and a parent of a neurodivergent child.

Fauna Gold (they/she)
I support survivors of sexualized violence, neurodivergent humans, those navigating chronic illness, and people whose depth of feeling—rage, grief, tenderness, ecstasy, pain, and joy—has often felt un-holdable in themselves or the world. Having experienced harm in past healing relationships, I'm devoted to lifelong learning, transparency, and skillful repair. I am white, genderqueer, auDHD, and “wobbly-bodied” (Ehlers-Danlos & CIRS), madly in love with the more-than-human world, and trained as a functional herbalist and pleasure coach before finding the gift of Process Work and the Unshaming Way. My dream is to create a holistic retreat for survivors, surrounded by hundreds of heirloom medicinal roses—places of refuge actively composting the patterns of domination.

Darja Milidragovic
I am passionate about challenging the idea that we are broken, bad, or to blame when we struggle. I see our struggles and symptoms instead as doorways into our deeper needs, longings, purpose and belonging. As an immigrant who has experienced war and displacement, a woman deeply familiar with loss and grief, and a human who dreams of a more compassionate world, I believe in creating spaces and relationships rooted in hope, love, and the freedom to be who you are. In my work, I strive to offer a small piece of that world - a place where you can bring your whole self and begin creating a life that feels more authentic and nourishing to you.

Katrin Piepenbreier
In our sessions, we are focusing on learning from erotic moments that have moved you most — the peaks, the surprises, the places where aliveness breaks through. We don’t fix or manage; we study your experiences as direct expressions of your body’s intelligence. Through close attention to what’s actually happening in you, this work strips away the noise so you can meet life — and yourself — with more honesty, energy, and presence.
