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.

Pavini is a rockstar. I mean really. They are warm, funny, accepting and supportive in ways that I…read moredidn't even know that I needed. The work we've been doing together is changing my life. I mean yes it's body work about sex and that's amazing all by itself, but it's also a deep dive into exploring what's working and not working - in my body, my sex life and relationship world and my life. I found pieces of myself that Pavini dusted off and showed me in the full light of day, that in their care look beautiful where I've often only seen pain, misery or upset. This is the best of coaching and bodywork combined. And some how I've been able to start doing the homework that Pavini recommended. I've been able to be present with myself and the pain I have experience in my body, in the scarred and hurt places. It's happening that I'm able to turn my attention more towards loving and accepting myself. If you want to be supported no matter what you're body is like, give Pavini a shot. Really. You'll be glad you did.

With warmth and acceptance, they created a safe container for me to fall apart and bring up my insecurities, as well as gave me guidance and tools to move forward. I highly recommend Pavini to anyone who is feeling stuck or is looking for a trustworthy guide.

I told her I didn't like the way she was talking to me, then she got angry and refused to apologize and it turned into an angry fight. She felt like a very judgmental and unsafe person to me.

Me and my wife (a relationship of 37 years!) had finally hit a breaking point and we sought out a counselor. We tried two before Claudia and had the take away that one offered little insight and merely a place to rant, while the other found one of us "wrong," taking sides which did little to promote healing. Claudia was different -- instilling insights in every session and suggesting courses of action for each of us which were both challenging and transformational. I recommend Claudia highly and recognize that what she brings to the table is uniquely valuable.

She helped me pinpoint the causes of trauma stemming from my childhood and address my deep-rooted insecurities that have been plaguing me for years. She helped me not only get back into dating confidently, but also held my hand through an entire relationship, helped me navigate difficulties, and most importantly helped me realize that it was time to leave the relationship. Her empathy is unmatched and I know she genuinely cares about me and shows enthusiasm when I succeed. I bought her 8-session package and I can confidently say that it was one of the most important investments I've ever made in my life, undoubtedly. I still have sessions remaining from the first package too. I highly highly recommend her.

Darshana is kind, gentle, and creates a space that feels safe and supportive from the very beginning. Darshana's guidance is clear and intentional, helping me not just follow steps, but truly understand what's happening internally. All the while setting boundaries. Through our work together, I've been able to connect more deeply with myself and explore areas of growth that I hadn't fully acknowledged before. Which has also helped me become a better partner. What stood out most is how much Darshana genuinely encourages self-work and personal reflection. This isn't surface-level healing it's deep, thoughtful, and transformative. Darshana holds space in a way that feels both grounding and empowering. If you're looking to heal, reconnect with yourself, and explore your sexual spirit in a safe and guided way, I highly recommend starting with an intake, taking a class, signing up for her emails or engaging in one-on-one sessions with Darshana. It's an investment in yourself that's truly worth it.

There is an immediate sense of trust with her, especially for those who have not always felt seen or respected. Because of her, I am learning how to be that kind of ally as well. Her work meets you at the core and expands how you show up in every part of your life. -- Melisa Keenan Intimacy Mentor and Founder of the Heart Open Publishing Enterprise

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 :)
