Bring the Body into your Work
with Soleil Hepner, C-IAYT
Somatic Therapy Educator since 2005
Hello Therapists & Teachers!
Embark on a transformative journey to empower your therapy, coaching, teaching, or wellness practice through the intelligence of the body. In The Somatic Session Series for the Clients Body, I bring you over two decades of expertise, distilled into a dynamic, 'bottom-up' approach to Direct Experience. Learn simple, ethical, and effective tools, to hold somatic S.P.A.C.E. with effective dialog, physicality, parts, and action.
Each module focuses on a TOPIC providing:
-
PERSONAL EMBODIED EXPERIENCE
-
DIDACTIC LECTURE on THEORY
-
LIVE DEMO and REAL PRACTICE
-
PLUS a CONSULTATION MENTOR GROUP
Here are the Top 6 Competencies you will learn.
Since 2005, I've taught therapists of all kinds how to bring the body into their own work. The Somatic Session Series for the Clients Body 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.
Unlock the potential of dynamic Somatic S.P.A.C.E. This isn't about following a rigid method - it's about empowering you to confidently adapt and elevate your existing techniques into a body-centered, bottom-up approach. Perfect for those moments when the mind needs to take a back seat.
And, if it's your body that gets shaken and disconnects when your clients experience triggers, try the companion series - Somatic Sessions for the Therapists Body.
Step into the work you have always imagined doing - more powerful, and more aligned with your values.
In Breath & Body,

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.
