About Us
Our Story
Somagetics was born out of the collaboration of Laura Fine and Kimberly Ward. Laura was the creator of the healing method called Transpersonal Energy Healing. She founded the in-person school called The Lionheart Institute for Transpersonal Energy Healing in 2002. From 2002 - 2017 she trained thousands of people in this method. In 2017 Laura transitioned to teaching her process on-line. Soon after that Laura and Kimberly teamed up to combine their work and share it with the world.
As Laura expressed it...
"A natural partnership unfolded between us as we combined Kimberly’s design of heart-centered spiritual science as a trauma therapist with my body/mind depth psychology, integrated with the basics of energetic healing."
Since joining forces, Laura and Kimberly and their team continued to refine and improve the method and have taught hundreds of students to utilize this powerful process. The mission has always been to help people to heal themselves so they can facilitate the healing of others. Our beloved Laura passed away in early 2023 and we at Somagetics continue to teach this method to coaches, healers, therapists and other holistic practitioners. Our mission continues and we are honored and proud to carry Laura's life work forward.
