I believe we all have the inner strength and resilience to create the life we desire. Sometimes, we just need the right person to help us discover it in ourselves.

What is trauma informed coaching?
Trauma-informed coaching is a compassionate approach to personal growth and development that recognizes how past experiences shape your emotional responses, patterns of behavior and influence your relationships.
As a Trauma-Informed Coach, I provide a safe and supportive space where we can gently build emotional awareness and develop practical tools to support your growth and overall well-being.
Through a combination of somatic work, embodiment and mindfulness techniques this work focuses on strengthening emotional capacity and resilience, empowering you to navigate life with confidence and self-trust.
Why Somatic Work Matters
When traumatic experiences overwhelm the nervous system, they create protective responses—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—that often linger long after the event has passed, especially when they remain unprocessed.
These responses can subtly run the show, making you reactive, withdrawn, or disconnected—often without you even realizing it.
Somatic work helps bring these patterns into awareness by working directly with the body and nervous system—the root of where trauma lives.
As you build this awareness, somatic practices gently guide you from reactivity into intentionality, helping you respond rather than react, and allowing more ease, resilience, and connection in your life and relationships.
This approach is especially powerful for partners who struggle with communication, trust, or emotional intimacy.
When both individuals learn to regulate their nervous systems and respond with empathy and compassion, the relationship becomes a place of safety, mutual understanding, and sustainable growth.
Because true connection begins when you feel safe in your own body—and from that place, you can begin to embody the love and connection you and your partner deserve.
Ways We Can Work Together
Individual Work: Trauma-Informed Coaching and Somatic Processing
If you’ve tried other approaches to healing trauma and found they haven’t gone deep enough, my trauma-informed coaching can help you get to the root of your challenges. By blending trauma-informed coaching with somatic work, you’ll begin to understand how trauma is affecting you in the present—and gain the support you need to shift the habits and patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode.
Many survivors find that while talking through struggles can bring clarity, it doesn’t always ease the lingering symptoms. That’s why our work goes beyond talk. Together, we’ll tune into your body’s cues, triggers, and stress patterns—uncovering the emotional wounds and automatic responses that keep your nervous system on high alert. Our focus will be on creating a strong foundation of safety within your body, so you can gradually move out of survival states and navigate emotions like anger, sadness, anxiety, numbness, and dissociation with more ease and resilience.
With each session, your self-awareness will deepen, and healing will begin to feel more natural, embodied, and sustainable.
Couples Work: The Conscious Connection Program
This is trauma-informed couples coaching, not therapy. It works differently, moving more directly to the root of your challenges and addressing the underlying patterns tied to attachment wounds and trauma that create conflict and disconnection in your relationship.
The Conscious Connection Program
is designed to help couples develop the skills to regulate their nervous systems and improve communication while deepening their emotional connection.
Why This Program Works
This program gently supports you in addressing the core causes of emotional disconnection, defensive cycles, insecure attachment wounds, and communication struggles. Together, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous systems, shift unhelpful patterns, and show up differently for yourselves and each other.
As you integrate these skills, you’ll create a relationship built on:
Trust
Emotional safety
Open, honest communication
Deep connection

"Julie is an excellent coach! I have worked with many different types of coaches, including some for types of somatic healing, and by far Julie comes out on top for creating a wonderful and comforting experience. It's very easy to tell her whole heart is in what she does and that she truly cares about each person. She was very warm, compassionate, and had the perfect pace and tone of voice to truly create a safe experience.
Personally, I have deep trust issues and have always struggled to truly let my guard down with other people, but I felt entirely comfortable with Julie."
