The Somatica Method Behind the ‘Virgin Island’ TV Show

The Intimacy Coaching Approach Millions Are Watching And You Can Learn!

When Channel 4’s Virgin Island became the British network’s most streamed series of 2025, it wasn’t just the drama that drew viewers in.

It was the emotional breakthroughs, vulnerable conversations, and profound transformations viewers saw unfold on screen — all rooted in the Somatica Method.


What you see on screen is what our students learn to do.

At the heart of the Virgin Island show is the work of Dr. Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman, co-founders of Somatica Institute. They use their expertise in embodied intimacy coaching to help participants move through shame, trauma, and disconnection toward self-love, deeper intimacy, and confidence.

Already greenlit for a second season, Virgin Island’s spotlights the same Somatica-based intimacy coaching tools, frameworks, and experiential methods taught in the Somatica Certification Training.

And you can learn them too!
