Why Soma Institute?

We are a collaborative of experienced therapists with a shared commitment to a life-long exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness through psychedelic practices, movement, breathwork and meditation. Our holistic approach is grounded on both spiritual and clinical models of healing, combining entheogenic practices with integrative psychotherapy. We promote wellbeing through a Mind-Body-Spirit model of healing in community.
We have developed our methodologies under the rigorous clinical supervision and guidance of Dr Friederike Meckel Fischer, a trailblazer in the field of psychedelic therapy in Europe. Dr Meckel Fischer, a student in her formative years of esteemed teachers such as Stan Grof and Ralph Metzner, has gleaned knowledge, wisdom and experience directly from the source. It is with great honour that we contribute to the continuation of this revered lineage.

Recognizing the imperative of equitable access to these transformative treatments, we have established a donor-based scholarship fund. This initiative has already provided support to some of our retreat participants. If you believe you may qualify for our scholarship program, kindly submit a 500-word explanation outlining your current need for financial assistance to the following address: info@somainstitute.org

Life Changing
From the moment I started working with Sonia, I felt enveloped in an aura of understanding and acceptance. Sonia, with their impressive blend of professional expertise and heartfelt empathy, created a sanctuary of healing. For the first time in my life, I truly experienced what it means to love myself, to honor my journey, and to embrace my imperfections.

My husband and I also did some couples work with Sonia. The couples' sessions offered a sacred space where my husband and I could truly see and hear each other, cultivating a deeper connection that we hadn't realized was possible. This work has not only changed my life but has taken our relationship to an extraordinary new level. It's a profound gift we will carry with us forever.

For those seeking a pivotal transformation, this work with Sonia is a beacon of hope and growth.

An incredible guide and teacher
I was referred to Sonia by a friend, and so incredibly thankful for the referral. Sonia has been an incredible guide and teacher in the retreat space and for personal & couples work.

I have much more to learn and look forward to working with Sonia now and in the future. I highly recommend Sonia for her safety, depth and care. I hope you get an opportunity to work with her as well.

Grounded, Well-experienced, Collaborative Clinician
Sonia and her work have changed my life. It has been about 1 year since working with her in the medicine space and the work we did together continues to unfold beautifully. The work I have done with Sonia has been incredibly powerful and mobilizing. No other treatment modality has been as healing for me.

As a clinician myself, I highly recommend working with Sonia. She is a skilled and brave therapist. She is able to create a very grounded and safe set and setting for the work. She is well-experienced in working with non-ordinary states of consciousness and this added to my comfort in beginning the work. I deeply appreciate her ability to bring herself as a teacher and a fellow-traveler on this spiritual journey of life. I have and will continue to recommend friends and family to work with her. I look forward to continue working with her as well.

Sonia is a true healer and gifted therapist
Marriage is a full time job! In order to be happy in your work, both parties need to be fully present and work toward a common goal of clear, honest communication and sharing. My husband wasn't sure that there was any benefit to working in this space with Sonia, but I was convinced that psychedelic therapy done with a skilled facilitator could completely alter the future of our marriage. Sonia delivered almost immediately by gaining my husbands trust and I knew from my first session, that she was the right fit for us. We are now on a journey to heal from things that obviously needed repair and more importantly she guided us too uncover the deeper issues that would have never been exposed to us with out her guidance. We have and will continue to recommend her and Soma Institute to friends, colleagues and anyone interested in true "soul level" spiritual growth.
So much gratitude to you Sonia,
Beth and Joe
