Real stories. Deep expertise. Practical tools.
Conversations that will change the way you think about coaching, the body, and what creates lasting transformation.
Somatics has always been at the heart of Ani and Brian’s work—but what makes them such a powerful team goes far beyond their credentials.
Life partners, business partners, and the “yin” to each other’s “yang,” they bring more than 86,000 hours of client experience, 20+ professional certifications, and five decades of combined experience helping people create meaningful, lasting change.
After beginning their careers within the Western medical system, Ani and Brian built private holistic rehabilitation practices, two wellness centers, and two international training organizations before founding the Somatic Coaching Academy.
Their work brings together physiology, somatics, energy medicine, mindfulness, movement, manual therapies, and coaching to answer one important question:
Why do people know what they need to do—and still struggle to change?
Today, Ani and Brian teach coaches how to bridge the gap between what a client knows and what their mind and body are actually prepared to do.
