Ashelii Rabelo
Founder of Soma Educational Group & HKHL
Ashelii Rabelo, is the founder of Soma Educational Group, and a Holistic Nutritionist based in New York City. Ashelii initially holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Pratt Institute.
For several years during University and post graduation, she’d struggled with unexplained health issues. A few years post-graduation, Ashelii received an Autoimmune Disease diagnosis, in which she struggled to navigate at the time. But through a shift in nutrition, lifestyle and seeking alternative treatment methods, has reclaimed a higher quality of life and understanding of how to better care for herself. This personal experience inspired Ashelii to begin her Nutrition training and education, in efforts to helps others navigate their way to more optimal health and lifestyle practices.
She later met French Osteopath Guy Voyer and was exposed to Osteopathic treatment. At the time, it wasn’t very common for Americans to seek treatment from Osteopaths. This was a practice that was more common in Europe and Canada. After experiencing the value of these techniques from a patient perspective, Ashelii felt strongly that the next generations of practitioners should have access to alternative treatment modalities. And the general population should have access to highly qualified practitioners who understand the body as a whole, not in isolated parts. So she founded Soma Educational Group. “Soma” comes from Greek origin, meaning “body”. Soma Educational Group’s focus is to bring forth valuable information and training within the health and wellness industry, via workshop, seminar and lecture format.
SEG began by offering the First three-year Fascia Fellowship Program in NYC, which eventually became what is now known as the SomaTherapy Program. Since then, SEG has hosted several Wellness Workshops and Training such as ELDOA Certification courses and more. We hand select educators and training modalities that we trust are valuable to the general public and practitioners looking to supplement their practice.
Today, Ashelii manages Soma Educational Group, hosting Educators from all over the globe. She also works with clients remotely, one-on-one for Nutrition Consulting and offers additional services through HealthyKitchenHappyLife.com.
