Transforming trauma through the body, dreams and creative insight.
Somatic Experiencing®. Dreamwork. Expressive Arts.
life isn't fixed and you don't have to fix yourself to belong in it.
The body has its own rhythm. It pulses with sensations—some loud, some vague, some so elusive they are hard to name. It remembers what the mind forgets. It holds the ache, the movement, the im/possible. It does not need to be fixed, rather tended. It is a gateway.
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.
As a somatic therapist, dreamworker, and artist of inner landscapes, I’ll collaborate with you in expanding your capacity to stay present — widening circles of resilience, agency, and connection through the wisdom of your body, dreams, and creative process.
Together, we’ll approach places shaped by trauma with care — not as problems, but as thresholds for transformation. You’ll learn ways to anchor the resources needed to meet life’s fullness and variety.

Hi, I'm Julie.
I am a somatic therapist and educator, trained through Tamalpa Institute and Somatic Experiencing®. I am also a dreamworker, yoga teacher and community/clinical herbalist. I use an array of healing modalities, primarily Somatic Experiencing, dreamwork, and the expressive arts to support people to tend stress and trauma and its’ physical, behavioral, and emotional manifestations.
My passion is helping others cultivate a life of authenticity – embracing depth, spaciousness, nuance, resilience, and relatedness.
I offer spaces where other ways of knowing and being are honored and celebrated. I provide education that helps people understand their nervous system and how it shapes daily experiences and perception.
My approach is body-based and process-oriented, 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.
It would be my honor to work with you.
