Since graduation, I launched my new business
I’ve run about 10 new workshops and 1 immersion in the past 6 months, and began selling packages for the first time. I have increased my monthly income by about 20 percent.
It feels like an exciting shift that allows me to share these gifts with more people while honoring my capacity as a mom of two young kids. I have absolutely LOVED the shift into teaching workshops and immersions over the past 10 months since I moved to Costa Rica.And I know this is only the beginning

I’ve taken four coaching programs during the past few years, and Somatica is by far the most potent and valuable.
There’s a new wave happening in the world of counseling and sex coaching – and Celeste and Danielle are on the cutting edge of that wave. Working and studying with them has been an exhilarating experience of surfing that wave. The Somatica® Method is nothing less than a revolutionary new approach that’s turning the field of sex and relationship coaching upside down and right side up. I feel lucky to have studied with Celeste and Danielle, the master artisans of this new approach. Be forewarned, Somatica is not for those who want to coach from the sidelines. It’s for those who are ready to jump into the deep end of the pool and call forward the most vulnerable parts of both themselves and their clients to be transformed, healed and reborn – in partnership. It has changed the way I think about sex and relationships, and transformed my approach to coaching.

The coaching practice and feedback I got during the Somatica Training have been crucial to my success with clients.
What made the sessions with practice clients doable was that I learned a wide menu of experiential exercises I could refer to. I also felt confident in guiding clients through each one because of the practice with students that takes place during the online training. Focusing on getting as much practice as possible is what helped me pay for both the Core and Advanced trainings, as well as additional Mastery Classes with my coaching income alone.
