I've had several breakthroughs that she's helped facilitate with her radiant, patient presence, and gentle, ego-less witnessing. Not only is she skilled in a wide variety of body, mind, and energetic therapy modalities, but most importantly she always seems to intuit what practice is most needed in the moment, no matter how raw or crazy things get in your own experience. Her selfless commitment to service is infectious and joy inducing. She is one of the most kind and present people I've ever had the good fortune of knowing and I'm incredibly grateful to have crossed paths with her.

She gently guided us into speaking about the deeper issues we needed to address, while still making it fun. I could not believe how knowledgeable and effective she was, and how quickly she understood what we needed to help our relationship. She seemed to know exactly where we needed to go and what was next. Others on here have said that she is really smart, that is beyond correct! But she is also really caring while being direct and getting to the point. We would not recommend anyone else but her for issues around sex and intimacy. I highly recommend her for couples counseling.

When she told me that she was coaching I thought this is what she's always meant to be doing. I was so happy for her and those she'll be able to help be their best selves. This is not only an extension of her positive views on living an amazing life, but also brings together all of her strengths as a person of openness, empathy, and being your true self. Knowing her, I would recommend anyone desiring deeper more intimate relationships to coach with her.

Heather is fantastic - she (her incredible perspective and advice) has become an anchor in our…read morelives. My wife and I came to Heather 2.5 years into our family planning journey, when what once was fun had started to feel like work. In the last 6 months, Heather has delivered exactly on what she offers, resparking our intimacy circuit - spanning all aspects of intimacy, from communication to physical. Where she's gone above and beyond is being there for us as we continue our journey. We have sessions that are pure play and sessions that are pure conversation. We've talked through our highs and lows, and in those lows, her listening, understanding, and empathy truly shines. She's offered us phrases and perspective that have turned tragedy into bonding, and in doing so, has become a part of our bond. Heather likes to say she welcomes people how they arrive and meets them where they are. I can confidently say that in the best and worst of times, there are few people I want next to my wife and I than her.

I'm writing this as a second-year student in the 6-month Somatica training led by Celeste and…read moreDanielle - a training for people who want to become sex and relationship coaches and/or just want to access powerful info and transformational tools for themselves. I came to Somatica in the throes of the breakup of my loving yet sexually dead marriage. (Actually, I first found Somatica online when searching for help for my spouse and me, but for complex reasons, my spouse was not willing to go.) I wanted a place where I learn how to get my own sexual needs met after a very long and painful drought. I wanted to better understand why I had chosen to partner with a wonderful person with whom I never had great sex -- why we could never break through to the level of sexual joy I'd had with my other partners, and also why I stayed. When I attended the free Intro, I was especially impressed by Celeste and Danielle's combination of leadership and vulnerability. I thought "If I can learn to lead and teach from a more vulnerable place, that alone will make the training worthwhile for me." I got so much more than I even knew I wanted or could get! Leading and teaching from a place of vulnerability is still a growth edge for me, but I have a model now, and validation and encouragement. I also learned sooo much about different sexual scripts and turn-ons, which gave me so much insight about why my spouse and I hadn't connected well, and helped me become less judgmental/fearful, and much more open/playful around turn-ons different from my own. I learned how to be in charge of my own arousal and share it with others, rather than having to wait for them to elicit it in my preferred ways. I learned how easily I could share sexual energy with a wide variety of people, and reveled in the permission to do so. I got triggered and dealt with it. I had some incredibly healing and illuminating practice sessions with class members. I got help. I got challenged. I did some challenging of my own. I got humbled and freaked out at times, but I kept showing up and kept growing. I learned and integrated sooo much about attachment, which helped me finally stop taking the pain of my marriage so personally. Oh, and I learned some incredibly valuable lessons about repair, lessons that I've been able to use to, for instance, transform a tense and angry conversation with my landlord into an exchange of mutual vulnerability and connection! I also learned how to belatedly ask for - and receive - some deep attachment wound healing with my former spouse. I have become much less emotionally reactive in general, much more internally resilient. Of course, this is a path I've been on for a long time, but my experience in Somatica has greatly deepened my learning. All these specifics barely begin to scratch the surface of what I learned and how I changed. There's so much more! I appreciated the experience so much that I signed up to do it again the following year! I'm so appreciative of the curriculum Celeste and Danielle have created, the community they foster, the values they uphold, the wisdom and humility with which they teach. And OK, that said, of course no one is perfect, and no one is a perfect coach or teacher for everyone, and no single 6-month training can truly prepare someone with no prior training to navigate this difficult terrain skillfully. If you are considering working with Celeste, Danielle or anyone else, I suggest you carefully assess whether their personality, values and approach resonate with you, your values and what you seek. I haven't done one-on-one work with either of them, but from my experience in class, I'd say that I believe C&D work with great skill and integrity to try to help you create the sexual and love life you truly want -- yet like everyone, they do have their own biases, and those are bound to influence them (again, this would be true of anyone with whom you might work.) If you are considering working with a Somatica-trained practitioner, check out what other background and training they have; many of the students have enormous amounts of relevant experience, but not all do. If you are considering joining the class, know that this is wonderful, transformational work, and as such, will push you to your growth edges (that's the whole point! but of course, it can sometimes be uncomfortable.) I will say this, though: I'm a tough sell. I've been around the transformational block for a few decades, and for me to emerge from a six-month training and immediately re-up, says a lot :)

When I mentioned my other symptoms, Gladys shared surprising nutrition tips that I didn't find in all my years of research and visiting western, eastern or alternative practitioners. I also liked the karmic contract visualization and that Gladys helps clients heal themselves and instead of being dependent on others.

I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her. Every time I visit Gladys, her massage techniques and spiritual counseling make me feel rejuvenated, and I believe you will feel the same.

How much of my outcome Danielle could be held responsible for I cannot quantify, but there is at least some. Therapy such as Danielle provides is collaborative, of course.

Looking back, I don't recall that we connected, were in sync, an important aspect of successful counseling.

Danielle helped me gain worthiness and find my way to be of equal standing in the relationship and not to be subservient in my relationships in general. I felt empowered to be me myself. She supported me in changing my career - she saw the power in me and helped me see that I had the ability to empower other people. She also helped me understand what my partner was trying to say to me because we came from very different backgrounds and I didn't fully understand the deep intent behind the words. She helped me have empathy for my husband, for his point of view and his experience. Once I understood where his actions were coming from, we had much more gentleness in the relationship.
