Belonging at the intersection of dream, body, and art.
Supporting those who feel stuck to reclaim agency and authentic connection with self, other, and world.
welcome, I'm glad you are here.
If you you’ve talked about your challenges, understand their nature, and still are playing out the patterns you wish you weren’t, I’d like to help you experience a shift.
I’m Julie: somatic therapist, educator, and trauma specialist who partners with dreams and the creative process as agents for personal and collective (r)evolution.
I find joy in helping people bring presence, curiosity, and possibility back into their bodies, lives, and relationships.
Sometimes it isn’t about figuring things out.
It is about being with, being seen, and feeling what is ready to be felt.
Afterall, changing the body alters the self.
"Working with Julie was game changing, and the missing ingredient in my healing process."
“When we heal the nervous system, we don’t just feel better—we see differently, think differently, act differently.”

julie macadam: somatic therapist, educator, trauma specialist
In my private practice and as an educator at the University of Vermont, I integrate an array of practices to support people to inhabit and collaborate with the physical, emotional, mental, and behavioral manifestations of stress trauma with presence and attentiveness to live a more robust and full life.
I am dedicated to helping others embrace nuance, spaciousness, depth, resilience, and relatedness.
My approach is body-based and process-oriented, creative and relational, acknowledging that each of us lives within – and is shaped by – larger cultural, social, and ecological systems. I am committed to change that creates environments of safety, dignity, and liberation for all beings.
