Me – Somatic Trauma Therapist Supporting Nervous System Healing & Emotional Wellbeing
About Me
Hi, I’m Rebecca Rinnert — psychologist, somatic therapist, yoga teacher, and fellow human on the healing path.
I work with people who are tired of feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain — who sense that their pain lives deeper than words, somewhere in the nervous system, the body, the breath. With a Master’s in Psychology and extensive training in Somatic Experiencing®, TRE®, and trauma-informed yoga, I bring together both the science and the soul of healing.
But this work isn’t just something I studied — it’s something I’ve lived. My own experience with trauma cracked me open and showed me what’s possible when we stop trying to think our way out of pain and instead learn to feel our way through.
My approach is gentle, intuitive, and deeply grounded. I create a space where your system can soften, where your body’s wisdom can speak, and where healing can unfold at your pace — no pressure, no fixing, just deep, respectful support.
If you’re looking for a therapist who sees you as a whole person — not just a diagnosis or a story — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
My Educational Journey
September 2014 - June 2021
My path into psychology began in a place where most people would rather look away — a closed psychiatric ward.
Working there was intense, raw, and deeply human. It opened my eyes to the depth of suffering so many carry silently, and sparked a fire in me to understand the roots of that pain. That’s what led me to the University of Zurich in 2014, where I began my studies in Psychology with a hunger to truly get the human mind.
As I moved through my studies, I found myself drawn to the world of neuroscience — captivated by how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are shaped by what’s happening deep inside the brain and nervous system. I immersed myself in research, eager to connect the dots between biology and experience, hoping that knowledge could become a tool for healing.
But something was missing.
While research gave me answers, what I truly longed for was connection — real, human, in-the-moment connection. I realized that my heart wasn’t in the lab — it was in the therapy room, holding space for stories, emotion, and transformation.
Since then, I’ve been weaving together the best of both worlds: grounded science and embodied presence. I bring everything I’ve learned from neuroscience into my therapeutic work — not as cold facts, but as living insights that help people understand what’s happening in their bodies and minds, and why they feel the way they do.
Because healing isn’t just about talking — it’s about understanding, feeling, and gently coming back home to yourself.
