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.​

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.
