What People are Saying

“Participation has opened my heart to the wisdom I have always known to be present.”
-- Seattle MD, Private Client & 2006 Stress Management 101 participant


“In her relaxed, easy-going style Soleil facilitated group meetings with our staff and students to help us focus on priorities and goals that motivate us to seek personal and group fulfillment and success related to our work and studies. Soleil's work epitomizes the true definition of education: "to draw out what is already inside the student" (rather than filling us up with outer knowledge and facts). During our sessions with Soleil all of us became more aware of our inner strengths and aspirations related to work and school and the importance of our individual and collective roles as they relate to the whole of the organization.

From my experience of her work, I would definitely recommend Soleil as the person of choice to facilitate group discussions to enhance group cohesiveness and effectiveness.”
-- James Schmidt, Director/Owner, Bellevue Massage School Center


“Soleil - and Turn Stress Into Bliss - has developed my sense of stillness and ability to calm myself under stress. I am taking care of myself and am more self aware. A fantastic experience! “
-- Julie Bowen, Organizational Development Manager at EPA


Soleil Hepner has partnered with THE WELL spa to offer special classes to women. Each time these workshops have been engaging and memorable. And Soleil is very easy to work with. In addition to providing workshops, she is able to offer her time to delivering private sessions so the entire time frame of her visit can be presented with a lot of options. In these two years of working with Soleil, she has added a level of quality and innovation not known before.
-- Jennifer DiFrancesco, Spa Director Miramonte Resort, Palm Spring, CA


“I have taken the Turn Stress Into Bliss series with Soleil several times. I’m more aware of what my body is saying to me and my meditation is deeper. My “now” is made up of richer and more relaxed moments.”
-- Retired Manager, National Park Service


“The [Stress Management 101] program is such a beautiful gift to yourself. I am self-employed and learning these skills, especially the, “20 second Awareness Break” has been a life-saver.”
-- Randi Carter, Owner Delicious Planet


“Soleil’s self-awareness and presence let’s her authentically connect with each participant. I was physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe with her.”
-- Seattle Psychotherapist & Professor, 2006 Program Participant
