The Somatica Method

Science meets the soul of human connection

Somatica blends neuroscience, attachment theory, emotional intelligence, and somatic practices into a structured framework for transformational sex and relationship coaching.

You’ll go beyond textbook learning into real-time, embodied practice. This will help you build the confidence and capacity to guide clients in healing shame, setting boundaries, expressing desire, and creating meaningful intimacy. 

This method doesn’t just teach “about” coaching. It teaches you how to coach and to build a thriving coaching business.

Somatica is connection in action.

Success Stories

Join a Global Community of Changemakers

Thousands of Somatica-trained coaches are helping clients navigate intimacy, identity, and sexuality, and build self-love and they started by doing this work for themselves first. You can too.

  • Joui

    I really feel like it should be required learning for everyone

    I walk around the world with so much more confidence. Anytime anyone asks me about the Somatica Training, I tell them, whether or not you are going to be a sex and relationship coach, you should take the training.
    I didn’t realize how much shame and confusion I had about my sexuality.
    Now, after taking Somatica, I feel so empowered in my sex life and relationships.
    The world would be such a better place if we were all having great sex and relationships.

  • Tomas

    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.

  • Maggie

    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.
