When talking isn't enough

Your body holds the key

Start your Somatic Journey

For individuals and the therapists who support them.

​

If you're ready to feel better in your body, deepen your relationships, reconnect with your work, or rediscover your sense of purpose, you're in the right place.

​

If you're feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, shut down, in pain, or simply unsure of what's next, you're not alone — and you're still in the right place.

​

Even if you can't name what's wrong but know that something needs to change now, you're welcome here.

​

Change begins with turning inward. When we gently explore what’s happening inside the body — the place where patterns live — we can begin to shift what’s happening outside.

​

Somatic therapy is a powerful path for individuals. It’s also a trusted resource for therapists looking to support their clients with embodied, trauma-informed care that complements talk therapy.

​

When you understand what moves you — physically, emotionally, and mentally — you can respond to life with clarity, choice, and direction.

​

Be open to change. The shift often comes sooner than you think.

For Clients & Couples

​

Somatic therapy gets to the root of trauma, addiction, and stress by working through the body, not just the mind. You’ll talk, yes — but you’ll also move, feel, and reconnect from the inside out.

​

Since 2002, Soleil has blended mindful touch, assisted movement, and body-based awareness with person-centered care. It’s a gentle but powerful process that brings lasting change — in your health, your relationships, and your life.

​"Get out of the chair and step into your body.
That’s where transformation begins.” ~ Soleil

Soleil has helped developed my sense of stillness and ability to calm myself under stress. I am taking care of myself and am more self aware.
A fantastic experience!

For Therapists & Coaches

​

"Trigger. Dissociate. Disconnect." These words describe the moment your client clenches, shakes, braces, or in some way  "disappears".  Dialogue stops.  Trauma presents - right now
In that instant, the body becomes your most vital resource.
Do you know how to harness its power?

Soleil says, "Since 2005, I’ve been training therapists and healers to bring the body into YOUR therapy.  Rather than follow a rigid method, learn to confidently adapt and elevate your existing techniques into an effective body-centered, bottom-up approach."

"It was a pleasure to bring Soleil in for training for our counselors to learn an aspect of clinical support that is not traditionally taught in schools. It was a great opportunity to learn somatic based techniques to help clients more thoroughly integrate trauma and reconnect with their bodies. I highly recommend Soleil's workshops to learn a unique and valuable adjunct to traditional psychotherapy." 
-- Dr. Starr Mackinnon, Stepping Stones Life Transition, San Diego

If you are struggling with something that hasn’t been clearly identified in the specialties, know that they are not exhaustive. These are some of the most common issues that arise. There are additional conditions that Soleil Hepner is trained to treat. Additionally, if you find that you are self-diagnosing as you read about mental health conditions as you browse online resources please take a step back and know that since all humans have mental health, we can find pieces of ourselves in any description of a condition or diagnosis and that is natural. One of the most important aspects of successful mental health treatment is the therapeutic relationship between client and practitioner.
