Soleil Hepner, C-IAYT
Somatic Training since 2005
Hello Therapists & Teachers!
What happens when a client gets triggered, dissociates, freezes, or simply loses words?
What do you do when the body speaks first?
Learn practical, ethical ways to work in those moments - with movement, sensation, dialogue, parts, psycho-education, and meaningful action.
Since 2005, I've taught and supervised therapists, coaches, and teachers in bringing somatic work into their existing practice.
You have your favorite theories, trainings, and certifications. This is not a new method to learn. Somatics is a practical process for expanding the work you already do.
Through recordings, live Mentor Groups, case discussion, live demonstrations, and practice, you'll learn how to work with the fundamentals of Somatic S.P.A.C.E. and Direct Experience in both in-person and online sessions.
Come learn. Bring your questions and real cases into the conversation.
In Breath & Body,
Soleil

Somatic work is best experienced together, in the room.
Soleil is an incredible educator and practitioner. I gained an incredible amount of wisdom from her through this course which has truly shifted the way that I show up in the therapy room as a clinical counselor. My confidence and skill in connecting with mind, body, emotions and spirit in sessions with clients have grown exponentially. As a result I have seen a huge shift and growth in my clients as a result of adding in somatic approaches and framework to my work.

A Few of the Somatic Topics We Explore
~ in relationship to trauma, pain, stress, grief, recovery, transition ~
Somatic S.P.A.C.E.
Start with your own physical experience to create a secure, intentional authentic somatic S.P.A.C.E. - from the first point of contact with a client to the final walk (or warm handshake) - out the door.
Movement, Contact, Proximity
Explore movement, consensual contact, and proximity as somatic tools in session. Learn to work safely and clearly within the physical and relational space between therapist and client.
Somatic Dialogue & Cueing
Learn how to verbally guide clients from their narrative stories in their head - into the body as it presents now, in real time. Explore how this somatic dialogue shift moves a client from reaction toward response
Somatic Psycho-Ed
Explore Western neuroscience and Eastern philosophy as practical tools for understanding what happens in the mind and body. Learn how to bring this knowledge into moments of pain, trauma, loss, and anxiety as they arise in Direct Experience.
Somatic Action
Explore how the experiential insights from Direct Experience can become meaningful action in everyday life.
Help clients create their own practices and move forward with informed choice - day by day, practice by practice.
Somatic Parts
Internal "Parts" naturally emerge through Direct Experience - often in edges of pain, stress, trauma, grief. Learn to explore the tension between polar parts with curiosity and acceptance - without needing to prescribe labels or a framework.
