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 & Groups
​
Somatic therapy helps uncover and heal the root of trauma, stress, pain, and addiction, by working through the body, not just the mind. Yes, there’s talking, but also movement, sensation, and supported touch.
​
Since 2002, Soleil has combined body-based awareness, mindful contact, and assisted movement with compassionate, person-centered care for individuals, couples, and group processing. It’s a gentle, collaborative process that supports lasting change in your health, relationships, and daily life.
​
Somatic therapy pairs well with talk therapy. Referrals from your therapist are welcomed as part of a team approach.

​"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!“
-- Julie Bowen, Former OD Manager at EPA

For Therapists & Coaches
​​
“Trigger. Dissociate. Disconnect.” These words describe more than just your client’s experience - they can show up in you, too. A freeze in your body. A bracing breath. A sudden sense of disconnection. In those charged moments, the body isn’t a problem—it’s the pathway. Do you know how to use it?
The Somatic Session Series for The Clients Body and The Therapist Body
helps you meet that moment, whether it’s happening in your client’s body or your own. Start with the series that fits you best or explore both for a
full-spectrum, embodied approach.

"When words no longer reach, the body can. Since 2005, I’ve been guiding therapists to work with the body, building on what you already do to support deeper, lasting change." ~ Soleil
"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
