My path into the wellness Industry began more than ten years ago, an exploration that quickly turned into a source of deep frustration.

Living in Los Angeles, a city often touted as a wellness mecca, I found the reality far removed from the ideal. 'Wellness' here was frequently synonymous with a confusing barrage of information, exorbitant costs, exclusive luxury, and fleeting, unsustainable trends.

we all share a fundamental desire for genuine health and well-being. Yet, this pursuit often leads us down a labyrinth of short-lived fads, restrictive diets, Unrealistic biohacking, and a revolving door of healers, leaving many feeling more lost than found.

Beyond the consumer experience, I observed the significant strain placed on wellness practitioners. They were frequently overworked and underpaid, battling burnout in a system that often prioritized profit over genuine care. Freelancing Practitioners struggled with the constant instability of their work.

It became clear to me that this fragmented and unsustainable model was failing both those seeking wellness and those providing it.

This realization sparked the vision for SOMA Healing Arts Co-Op.

My name is Brian May, and I envisioned a space where collaboration and integration would not only address these systemic issues but also elevate the entire wellness industry. I aimed to create a community where practitioners could thrive, supported by a collaborative environment that fostered shared resources and mutual growth. Simultaneously, I wanted to provide individuals seeking wellness with a cohesive, accessible, and sustainable approach, grounded in genuine care and integrated practices.

SOMA was born from the belief that true wellness is holistic, collaborative, and accessible.
