Hi there, I'm Julie...
I’m a trauma-informed coach and somatic practitioner with over 12 years of experience supporting children and families in healing from chronic stress and trauma-related symptoms. For seven of those years, I worked directly with children, providing trauma-informed care to help them cope with and recover from the impacts of abuse, neglect, exposure to domestic violence, parental substance use, or mental health challenges.
I also spent six years supporting parents through the reunification process in Dependency Court. During that time, I supported them through recovery from substance use, healing from toxic or abusive relationships, setting safe, healthy boundaries and effective communication strategies with their co-parent, and cultivate the skills essential to emotional well-being, healing and growth.
With a total of 15 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma-related challenges, I understand what it takes to break free from the patterns that hold you back. If you’re ready for guidance toward meaningful, positive change, you’re in the right place.
Hi there, I'm Julie...
If you're looking for a straightforward coach who will gently guide you toward making positive changes in your life, you're in the right place.
I understand how challenging it can be to break free from patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Nervous system regulation is a key part of growth, which is why I integrate somatic work to support your nervous system, expand your emotional capacity, and build resilience.
"Julie was a delight to work with... over several sessions she provided me with a safe sanctuary to explore my fears and insecurities, and I felt completely supported by her kind yet strong presence. She is highly professional and also sensed (and felt comforted by) her years of experience with working with many different people in a non-judgmental way. I can highly recommend working with her."

"Julie allowed herself to follow her intuition as we progressed through each session, and this made me feel supported and safe in her presence. I could then have more curiosity into what I was experiencing. I would also like to add, during the time I have worked with Julie I have experienced a range of her abilities with the coming together of techniques she developed through her Social Work experience together with the understanding of the somatic work that underpins our behaviors."

"Julie naturally instills an immediate sense of safety, allowing me to connect with buried emotions, sensations, and memories. With her thoughtful guidance and the right questions, she encourages conscious decisions that support true forward movement.
I am eternally grateful for Julie’s skillful navigation in helping me integrate trauma patterns that had kept me frozen in the past for so long."

We are all on a journey...
Growth isn’t a linear process.
Setbacks and unexpected moments are part of the journey—they offer opportunities to build resilience and deepen our growth.
Real change begins when we learn to create space for our emotions, rewire old patterns, and embody the life and relationships we truly desire.
Supporting others has been a vital part of my own healing, and through that experience, I’ve come to believe deeply in the power of a safe, supportive space to navigate life’s challenges.
Because growth happens through connection, vulnerability, and the courage to expand beyond what feels familiar.
