About The Somatica Institute

The Somatica Institute is a global leader in sex and relationship coach training. We are dedicated to teaching and developing the next generation of cutting-edge, successful coaches.

In 2010, Danielle Harel, PhD, and Celeste Hirschman, MA, co-founded the Somatica Institute with a shared desire to fill the world with love, pleasure, and deeply satisfying relationships by training and certifying experiential sex and relationship coaches.

The Somatica Institute has since empowered hundreds of aspiring sex coaches, spanning the Americas, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia. Our alumni have gone on to achieve fulfilling careers as sex and relationship coaches, authors, podcasters, TV and film intimacy coordinators, and thought leaders.
