Djinane AlSuwayeh — Somatic Coaching

About Djinane

Djinane AlSuwayeh is a Kuwaiti-French Somatic Experiencing® (SE) Practitioner based in Kuwait, specializing in body-based trauma recovery. With over a decade working as a Creative Director, photographer, and visual artist — exhibiting in major museums and shaping global brand identities — she brings a distinctive creative intelligence to healing work. Her practice treats the body as a living, intelligent system, and she guides people to work with sensation, breath, movement, and creative expression rather than talking about experiences.

Her venture, Sunshine Cercle, grew out of an informal healing circle she held for colleagues navigating burnout in the high-pressure luxury fashion world. It has since evolved into a full practice weaving together Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Art Therapy, and expressive arts. Djinane is deeply trained — holding multiple advanced certifications in trauma-informed somatic modalities, Polyvagal Theory, Integrative Somatic Parts Work, and breathwork.

She works with people stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or freeze — helping them move from dysregulation to presence, from habitual protection to genuine choice. Sessions are available online globally and in-person in Kuwait, conducted in English, French, and Arabic.

“I have a new curiosity to how my body parts are connected, I went from split to feeling more whole. I often felt that my head was huge and that my body was tiny. It's a practice that helps you realize how critical you are of yourself and to change and almost start loving yourself...”

“I was looking for a different approach as I'd been struggling with talk therapy after 15 years with my therapist. I'm not an artist and at the start it was so hard not judge what I was drawing or happening on the paper, but as time passed I understood the value of movement and cr...”
