Meet The Pioneers of Experiential Intimacy Coaching
Dr. Danielle Harel & Celeste Hirschman, M.A.
When Dr. Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman met over a decade ago, they bonded over a shared mission: to help people experience more intimacy, passion, and connection. Trained in human sexuality, psychology, and somatic bodywork, they saw firsthand how traditional sex therapy often fell short of offering real-world, embodied transformation. Their answer? The Somatica Method—a groundbreaking approach to sex and relationship coaching that blends emotional depth, practical tools, and hands-on learning. Since launching the Somatica Institute in 2010, they’ve trained thousands of coaches, helping them create thriving careers while transforming their own relationships in the process.
How Much Can You Earn?
Certified Somatica coaches earn between $80K–150K per year! Whether you choose to work one-on-one with clients, run group workshops, or integrate intimacy coaching into an existing practice, Somatica provides the framework to build a high-impact, fulfilling career.
