julie macadam: somatic therapist, dreamworker, trauma specialist & Group facilitator
At the University of Vermont and in my private practice, I work at the intersection of dreams, the nervous system and creative ritual.
I support people who feel like they have reached an impasse in other therapeutic models, who have talked about it and still feel stuck.
People who desire more ease and depth in their bodies, lives and relationships.
Each session is body-based, resilience-oriented and relational. Together, we tend to the deeper stories that shape our lives, getting to the roots of our patterns and nourishing our greatest potentials.

Based in Burlington, Vermont, I offer one-to-one virtual sessions and in-person groupwork in:
This work is an offering of what I know can transform lives: nourishing authenticity and belonging, shortening the gap between values and behaviors, and connecting with forces larger than ourselves as agents for change-making.
What you’ll gain:
- Greater capacity to stay present and embodied through life’s changing variables, challenges, and joys.
- Increased ability to “bounce back” after challenges.
- Living authentically, with a sense of agency and self-governance.
- A deeper and fulfilling connection with others based on reciprocity and mutual respect.
- A safer sense of exposure and vulnerability that you choose consciously.
- Confidence, self-worth, and attunement to your needs and desires.
- Setting and honoring boundaries that support your limits and edges.
- Freedom from chronic patterns physical or emotional pain.
- More openness and flexibility in thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and emotions.
- A discerning compassion for yourself, others, and the world.
