I’m Juliana and I want to change the way women show up for themselves
I work with women who learned to survive by putting themselves last.
Women who became capable, accommodating, and attuned to everyone else, often at the expense of their own bodies.
This work is personal to me.
For much of my life, I was skilled at overriding my own signals. I knew how to function, achieve, and stay composed, even when my body was exhausted, disconnected, or quietly bracing.
I understood myself well.
My body, however, had its own story.
Learning to listen to that story, rather than manage or override it, changed everything.
That’s where my work begins.
How I work
My approach is grounded in body-based trauma healing.
I’m trained in Somatic Experiencing, (currently an advanced-level student) a gentle method of trauma renegotiation that works with sensation, nervous system regulation, and the body’s natural capacity for resilience.
I’m also completing my training in Traditional Thai bodywork, a fully clothed, touch-based modality that supports regulation, grounding, and reconnection through rhythmic movement and compression.
Thai bodywork has become central to my understanding of healing, not as something we do to the body, but as something the body is allowed to experience.
All of my work is:
consent-based
relational
paced by the nervous system
oriented toward restoring choice and self-trust
Nothing is forced.
Nothing is overridden.
Who this work is for
I’m especially drawn to working with women who:
identify as people-pleasers
have a history of disordered eating
are coming out later in life
feel disconnected from their bodies or inner signals
have spent years prioritizing others over themselves
If you’ve learned how to stay functional while feeling disconnected from yourself, this work offers another way.
Where I am right now
I’m currently in a season of training, integration, and preparation.
I’m intentionally allowing my work to unfold at the same pace I invite others to move, without rushing, forcing, or over-promising.
When hands-on offerings open, they will be grounded in the same values you see here: slowness, consent, and respect for the body’s timing.
The Heart Behind the Work
I came out as a lesbian later in life, and that experience reshaped how I understand alignment, not as an idea, but as something felt in the body.
It taught me what happens when we stop organizing our lives around what others expect of us and begin listening for what feels true.
I’m a parent, and much of my own healing has been shaped by a desire to model something different for my kids, a life where their bodies, identities, and inner signals are not something to override or manage.
We spend time moving together, playing, laughing, regulating through rhythm and connection. They remind me that safety and joy aren’t separate from healing.
I believe healing happens in relationship.
And that joy is often a sign that the nervous system is finding its way home.
I’m drawn to quiet rituals, time outside, and moments that help the body return to the present.
An Invitation
If something here resonates, you’re welcome to stay connected through my writing and reflections.
There’s no rush.
No expectation to be ready.
Just a place to orient and return to.
