More About Me - JULIE MACADAM

ABOUT ME

Moving from disconnection into connection takes patience, perseverance and a hearty dose of compassion; I know this journey very personally.

It is through this process that I have learned healing is not linear and is supported when we connect with forces larger than ourselves. When we remember and can feel we are not alone. That is why I work with dreams, movement, and the creative process. Each keeps one honest and in touch with the deeper layers of self. Each places us in the wisdom of something larger.

I have also learned that quick fixes can be quick, but not offer the lasting transformation so often desired. For that reason, I am interested in supporting the time in takes to nourish sustainable change, acknowledging the responsibility and effort asked of us.

I am interested in tending to what is brave in each one of us, what is willing to feel, and most of all, I am interested in doing the work together.

“Working with Julie has been such a valuable experience. I had no idea that dreamwork could be such a window into my day to day patterns and conditioning. Julie so expertly and compassionately guides me to the gold. I understand now how much dreams have to offer us, and how much medicine is available in them. Julie is such a skilled practitioner and it is so clear that she loves this work, making her sessions all the more potent. I so highly recommend working with her!”

"Time and time again, Julie ventured into the depths of my wounds with me compassionately, at the right time, knowing how deep to go, how to relate to what came up through the body, helping me find a deeper embodied senses of resolution and peace than I had experienced in a very long time. I’m not exaggerating when I say that every session led me through an arc, and by the end of each session, I felt reassured in my body and a greater sense of empowerment in handling the inevitable stressors of life. I approached my life with more grit and ease, took more risks, knew more clearly when to set my personal boundaries, and identified which relationships were supporting my health and happiness."

- Emily, Somatic Practitioner

"SE with Julie was game changing, and the missing ingredient in my healing process. It took feeling what a settled nervous system is like to start noticing more clearly when I was activated or shut down. I started to be able to tell when something activated a survival response in me, even subtly, I had tools to move through it into groundedness and clarity, and the felt sense to know when I had actually succeeded. When I felt anxious or unmotivated, I could approach myself with more compassion, seeing these feelings for the “nervous system injuries” that they were instead of character flaws. Julie taught me nervous system literacy, and equipped with that literacy, so much of my life changed. Her understanding of nervous systems and her patient compassion earned my trust almost immediately. She truly has a gift."
