Modalities & Expertise
Holistic-Based Alternatives to Assist in Your Healing Journey
Somatic Work
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach that explores the connection between the mind and body, integrating psychotherapy with physical practices to support holistic healing. By increasing awareness of the body and its responses, somatic work can help release stored tension and unresolved trauma that may be impacting emotional and physical well-being.
Julie incorporates somatic practices such as rhythmic movement, yoga-based movement, singing bowls, drumming, breathwork, and relational connection into her work with clients. These modalities can help regulate the nervous system, reduce overall intensity, and support the processing of trauma so clients can move forward with greater ease, clarity, and resilience.
Hypnosis & Meditation
Hypnosis and meditation are powerful transformational practices that can help shift mental and emotional patterns, calm the nervous system, and support lasting change. Both work by guiding the mind into a more relaxed and receptive state, creating space for deeper healing, greater self-awareness, and intentional growth.
Julie uses hypnosis to help clients reframe limiting beliefs, support emotional healing, and create new patterns that align with greater peace, confidence, and well-being. Meditation is incorporated as a way to regulate the autonomic nervous system, cultivate presence, and support clients in focusing more intentionally on what they want to create in their lives.
Energy Healing
Energy healing is a holistic practice that works with the connection between the mind, emotions, memories, and the body. It is based on the understanding that unresolved experiences, limiting beliefs, and emotional stress can become held within the nervous system and impact overall well-being.
By helping to shift and release these patterns, energy healing can support greater balance in the mind, body, and spirit. Julie incorporates energy healing into meditation and hypnosis sessions, or as a standalone modality, to support clients in moving forward with greater clarity, alignment, and progress toward their goals.
Equine & Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animals can play a powerful role in the healing process through connection and support of the autonomic nervous system. Their presence can offer comfort, consistency, and a sense of mutual nurturance that supports both emotional and physical well-being.
Nurturing interactions with horses, in particular, can help people practice heart coherence, empathy, connection, and emotional and physical regulation. Because horses are biologically wired for connection within the herd, their sensitivity and responsiveness can offer valuable insight into our own internal state.
When horses feel safe, they are naturally inclined to connect. This creates a unique opportunity for people to become more aware of their emotions, shift their state of being, and practice regulation in real time. Through this process, equine-assisted work can support healing, self-awareness, and deeper connection.
