Biography
Dr. Danielle Harel is the co-creator of the Somatica® Method and co-founder of the Somatica Institute - an inspiring blend of sexologist, sex & relationship coach, visionary entrepreneur, and embodied guide for personal transformation. Danielle is a true force of nature: magnetic, grounded, and passionately committed to helping people grow, heal, and fully embrace the richness of their erotic and emotional lives.
With a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality, a Master's in Clinical Social Work, and a Bachelor's in Psychology and Educational Counseling, Danielle brings a rare combination of academic depth and soulful presence to her work. Her knowledge is vast, but it's her compassionate and intuitive way of relating that makes her a truly life-changing coach. Whether she's in a private session, teaching a room full of practitioners, or speaking on a global stage, Danielle brings her whole self-fierce, loving, and deeply present.
Her coaching is an invitation: to dive deep into your desires, reclaim your body's wisdom, and awaken the transformative power of pleasure. She works not from a place of correction, but from celebration-of your aliveness, your complexity, and your capacity to grow beyond what you thought was possible. Danielle meets you exactly where you are, standing beside you with unwavering support, clarity, and a generous spirit as you step into the fullest expression of your erotic and relational self.
Most recently, Danielle brought this vision to life on television as a lead sexologist and consulting producer on Virgin Island, a bold and emotionally rich series airing on Channel 4 in the UK. The show offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look into the Somatica Method and the profound power of embodied, experiential, and mutually vulnerable coaching. Bringing Somatica to a global audience has been a long-held dream - and a deeply meaningful milestone in her mission to normalize and celebrate sexuality as a vital part of human wholeness.
Danielle's written work reflects her depth and dedication to this field. She has co-authored Confidence, Making Love Real, and Coming Together, and her research on Orgasmic Birth has contributed to shifting narratives around sexual empowerment and birth. She's frequently quoted as an expert in leading publications, where her insights into sex, dating, and relationships resonate with warmth, clarity, and truth.
At home, Danielle cherishes the intimate bonds she shares with her children, husband, and lover. Her personal relationships are not separate from her work-they are the living laboratory where she continues to explore and practice the very tools she teaches. Her life is a testament to the belief that erotic connection and deep emotional intimacy are not just possible-they are essential, nourishing, and available to all of us.
