co-Founder of NeuroTransmit, neuroscientist, somatic therapy practitioner

Racheli Wercberger (they/them) is a queer, nonbinary, white Jewish somatic practitioner and former neuroscientist researcher currently practicing and living in San Francisco, California, on occupied Ramaytush-Ohlone land.​ Their work is grounded in feminist, harm reduction, and anti-oppressive frameworks and in the assumption that personal healing is necessary for collective healing. They are passionate about supporting folks to metabolize trauma, heal from attachment injuries, integrate experiences from expanded states of consciousness like psychedelics, and navigate queerness, gender, polyamory, spirituality, and grief. They received their doctorate in neuroscience from University of California San Francisco studying the neural circuitry of chronic pain and itch, and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University. They also completed a postdoctoral pedagogy fellowship with Stanford Introductory Studies where they taught classes on the intersection of science, philosophy, and society.
