WELCOME
My name is Dr Hillel Braude - Founder Director of the Somatic Well Center.
I am an Integrative Medicine Doctor, Expert Feldenkrais Method Practitioner, and Philosopher of Medicine.
SomaticWell is a unique educational and therapeutic center integrating somatic movement practices - emphasizing the felt-experience of having a body - with scientifically validated neuro-technologies for enhancing personal mental and physical well-being.
​
My clinical approach espoused at SomaticWell is based on a number core conceptual foundations.
These include:
-
Somatic Practices - incorporating touch, movement, breathing.
-
Evolutionary Development
-
Infant Developmental Patterns
-
Phenomenology - philosophy of subjective experience
-
Intersubjective Neuroscience
-
Spirituality

I am also proud to have developed the Genesis Protocol for the treatment of children with Autism.

These life-enhancing therapies may be applied separately, or together. Most of the SomaticWell therapeutic services may be administered remotely. I also provide in-person consultations in Afula, Israel.
