TESTIMONIAL FROM A THERAPIST & YOGA TEACHER
I'm amazed at how perfectly this course aligns with my journey. Soleil's guidance is helping me naturally merge my roles as a mental health professional and yoga teacher. The approach is resonating deeply and feels so accessible. I can already feel a sense of relief and excitement, knowing I finally have the support I've been searching for, for many years

TESTIMONIAL FROM A TRAINING DIRECTOR
Soleil’s teaching style is incredibly engaging and packed with practical insights! My students are thrilled with the clear, actionable tools they receive in each session. Soleil has a gift for demystifying complex somatic concepts, making them feel accessible and immediately usable. Plus, her vast resources provide a treasure trove for continued learning. My students now feel equipped and inspired to bring these new techniques into their client sessions. Truly a transformative experience!

Bring the Body into your Work
with Soleil Hepner, C-IAYT
Somatic Therapy Educator since 2005
Hello Therapists & Teachers!
​
Are you seeing clients who get triggered, dissociate, or disconnect? It's that moment of clench, scrunch, curl, hold, weep, or shake - uncontrollably. All dialog stops. In the silence, the visceral experience of [trauma, grief, pain, fear...] is happening NOW.
The physical body, becomes the most powerful tool available. Do you know how to use it?
​
Embark on a transformative journey into building a SOMATIC CONTAINER to empower your current therapy, coaching, teaching, or wellness practice through the intelligence of the body - without needing to learn, or be certified in, a whole new method.
​​Since 2005, I've taught and supervised therapists, coaches, and teachers on how to bring the body into your own work.
In this Somatic Group & Training, you learn my simple, ethical, and effective tools, to work within the S.P.A.C.E. of Direct Experience, using embodied dialog, dynamic physicality, alive parts, and real action plans.
​
All modules are delivered via 90-minute recordings to watch at your own pace. THEN we meet live online - in a mentored consultation group - to apply the tools specifically, to your own work.
​
Join any month. Meetings focus on a topic thru:
-
PERSONAL EMBODIED EXPERIENCE
-
DIDACTIC LECTURE on THEORY
-
REAL CASE-STUDIES
-
LIVE DEMOS and PRACTICE
The Somatic Series is both a PRACTICUM as well as a THEORY course, designed to equip you with tools that are effective for both in-person and online sessions, whether you’re new to somatics or looking to deepen your expertise and expand your scope of practice.
Here are the top 6 competencies you learn.​​​
Unlock the potential of dynamic Somatic S.P.A.C.E. that offers a natural CONTAINER - not a rigid Method.
You're in the right place if you want to confidently adapt and elevate your existing techniques, skills, and knowledge into a body-centered, bottom-up approach. Perfect for those moments when the mind needs to take a back seat.
Step into the work you have always imagined doing - more effective and more aligned with your values.​

TESTIMONIAL FROM A THERAPIST
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.
