There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when a vision becomes reality. Not just in the work itself, but in the people who come together to make it happen.
And that’s exactly what Danielle and I felt the moment we began connecting with the full team that would be bringing our intimate transformation project to life on the British Channel 4 “Virgin Island” show.
The Alchemy of Connection, Or How Our Team Came Together
Some faces were familiar — dear colleagues we had trained with, laughed with, and grown alongside. Others were new, brought in by the production company to round out our dream team. Their goal? To create a rich, cross-cultural blend of talents and modalities. And wow, did they deliver.
Each person brought their own unique flavor—whether it was the embodied wisdom of sexological bodywork, the compassionate guidance of talk therapy, or the gentle strength of surrogacy support. Layered with our Somatica approach, we knew this wasn’t just a team. This was alchemy.
Then came the real turning point — meeting in person.
We touched down in Croatia, hearts buzzing and suitcases full of books, tools, and swimwear (because, priorities!). The team met up on the mainland, and even before our official kickoff, there was an undeniable click. Conversations flowed easily, laughter bubbled up over meals, and there was this quiet, shared understanding: we were all here for something meaningful. Something big. Something beautiful.
A Boat, a Breeze, and the Beginning of Something Big
But it wasn’t all deep talks and prep meetings. There was a sweet, almost cinematic moment as we gathered our things and made our way to the harbor. The boat waited, bobbing gently, ready to ferry us across turquoise waters to the island where transformation would unfold — not just for the participants, but for all of us, too.
Standing on that deck, sun warming our skin, wind tangling our hair, we looked around at each other and smiled. The work ahead would be tender, challenging, and deeply human — but we were ready. Because we weren’t doing it alone.
We had each other. And we were already a team.
