bio
Djinane AlSuwayeh is a Kuwaiti-French experiential Creative Director, award-winning Photographer, and trauma-trained Somatic Movement Therapist weaving the worlds of visual arts, somatic healing, and embodied education. Her journey has been one of transformation—moving from capturing external narratives through the lens of fashion and fine arts to guiding individuals into deeper self-connection through movement, visual imagery, and body-based therapies.
With an extensive background in visual arts and communication, the former founder of iiiangle creative her image-making studio, and over a decade and a half in the creative industry saw her shaping brand identities, leading high-profile campaigns, being published in VOGUE MAGAZINE, working with clients such as Chanel, Gucci, and Dior, as well as photographing celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Alber Elbaz, and Huda Kattan. Her artwork has been exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum and in the INSTITUT DU MONDE ARABE as well as auctioned by Pierre Bergé & Associés in Paris.
Parallel to this, her deep fascination with the expressive body, life, art and therapy led her into the world of somatic healing. Now a SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® PRACTITIONER (SEP), she has trained modalities such as Hanna Somatics, Body-Mind Centering®, Integrative Somatic Parts Work, and Polyvagal Theory with leading industry pioneers like Dr. Peter Levine, Bonnie Cohen, Deb Dana, Eleanor Criswell, Abi Blakeslee, Manuela Reeds, and Dr. Arielle Schwartz. Her work bridges somatic psychology, movement, and trauma recovery, supporting individuals in shifting from habit to choice, from dysregulation to embodied resilience.
Her latest venture, Sunshine Cercle, is a sanctuary for artistic exploration, and therapeutic embodiment. It began as an informal space of refuge—a healing circle for colleagues seeking solace from the high-pressure world of luxury fashion. What started as a gathering evolved into a method, a philosophy, and a home for those wanting to return to the intelligence of their own bodies.
