Marian Bacol is the Founder & CEO of Somarae, a somatic wellness platform and community for personalized, stress relief + nervous system regulation and collective co-regulation.

Her path into this work began after a near-death experience over 11 years ago—an awakening that revealed a simple but profound truth: healing doesn’t happen by thinking our way out of pain, but by learning how to feel safely again. Since then, Marian has dedicated her life to bridging ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience through body-based practices that restore regulation, presence, and aliveness.

She is a keynote + TEDx speaker, certified somatic coach, breathwork and meditation facilitator, global retreat host, and community builder who has guided thousands through nervous-system regulation, somatic wellness, and conscious leadership. Her work centers on one mission: helping people come home to themselves—one breath, one sensation, one moment at a time.

Marian’s talks are experiential, grounding, and deeply human, designed to leave people feeling more connected, more regulated, and more alive than when they arrived.
