About Us

Who Is Julie?

I am a qualified Transpersonal Therapist with many years of training in Shamanic and Energy Medicine and many other modalities.

As a mother of 3 grown children, a wife, a sister, a friend, and a therapist, I have observed how individuals process experiences and traumas throughout their lives. Through these observations, I have been able to identify my strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. My strengths lie in my ability to observe the connections between thoughts and feelings and how our traumas impact and influence our mind and body, and in being able to see what a person is not saying or expressing.

The journey into our psyche can be terrifying and challenging, with many therapies telling us what we ‘need to do or how we ‘need to do it to ‘fix’ the issue. This leaves us feeling disempowered and unable to trust our inner guidance, intuition, and internal wisdom. The real gift in any therapy has a practitioner that understands the importance of holding the silence, allowing the individual to have their own ‘Ahha’ moment through gentle guidance.

The gift is understanding that our experiences are the gift of learning. When we learn what we need out of a situation, we are no longer doomed to repeat the same pattern. We truly free ourselves from our pain by bringing unconscious thoughts and suppressed emotions into our consciousness to be dealt with so that we can create a map of our internal and external landscapes.

Through personal experiences, I have learned the importance of facing childhood traumas and fears. After years of failed therapies and disappointments, I started to believe that I had to accept my fate and learn to live with feeling undeserving of better than ‘this.’

I  understand what it feels like to grow up feeling abandoned and ashamed, disconnected, hating myself, lost, alone, rejected, and the struggles of these beliefs. I have had personal battles with Post Natal Depression that turned into Depression, Anxiety, Weight and Hormonal issues, and auto-immune disorders that later were diagnosed as many other illnesses.

These things took a mental, emotional and physical toll on my health, relationships, and business.  It affected how I connected internally and viewed and interacted with the world. This period in my life became my ‘Dark Night of the Soul,’ which would eventually lead to a turning point in my 49th year – A year of deep self-reflection and self-discovery. Through digging deep and working through my traumas, I found the beauty that lies beyond the pain if you are willing to go even deeper.

 

 

My year of self-discovery took me on travels to Japan, where I spent time in the mountains with the Shingon Esoteric Monks. In further exploring their teachings, I gained a more in-depth insight into my consciousness- we are ALL born whole, but like the moon, we are in different stages of waxing, waning expansion, and contraction. Like the shadows that cross the moon’s surface, we must face the shadows within. The pain, the suffering, and the unhealed traumas that keep us in fear, also keep us stuck and sick.

This Journey of self-discovery continued to take me further abroad to Peru, from temples and shamans in Cusco to climbing Machu Picchu, ending in a near-death experience. Later to the USA and the Catskills Mountains, where I gathered with fellow shamans in ritual and ceremony.  Visiting Canada and Niagara Falls, then back through the US to Salamanca and the Seneca Native American Reserve, where I had the pleasure of interacting with the Iroquois Native Americans. It was indeed the year of my rebirthing.

At times this road led me further and further inward, often into more profound isolation and states of self-reflection. My experiences have enabled me to reach a level of self-discovery, self-acceptance, love, compassion, and forgiveness I never imagined possible.

I have spent many years studying Shamanism with The Four Winds Society and many other teachers and mentors on my path. Also, during this time, completing a study in Transpersonal Therapy, Embodied Processing and somatic healing, and Ancestral Lineage Healing. Currently, I am working on developing more ranges for women’s self-care as this is something I feel very deeply about. When women heal their Womb, they birth their unique consciousness in the world.

 

My journey has given me the skills and the tools to reclaim the fragmented soul parts I was too fearful to look at. After decades of searching for a quick fix or a suitable healing modality, I learned that there is a positive way to move through emotional pain and trauma to achieve long-term permanent change. Slowly and willingly, I surrendered to the process, committed to my journey, sat in silence, and held faith in where my journey was leading me. I gained freedom from the emotional impact of a painful childhood and traumatic experiences through this practice.

I have a lifetime of learning and experience to share. I have several powerful transformational tools I can offer.

Today, I am free from many of the health issues I was diagnosed with. I love my life and experience joy and gratitude daily. I am passionate about helping others, and I am looking forward to combining the best of all my healing practices to assist you in freeing yourself from the past so that you, too, can fall in love with being alive.

My approach is compassionate and empathetic, working towards a deeper understanding. My priority is creating a safe environment for my clients to feel they can move freely through your process. I believe in healthy connections to build confidence for a truly profound and transformational experience.
