I’m Juliana and I am here to walk with you into the depth of your healing.
To reclaim your story, your truth, your depth. To help you learn to listen to your body and increase your capacity to be with the hard.
My Journey
This work is deeply personal to me and my journey. I do not say lightly that it changed my life. Prior to beginning my journey in the Somatic Experiencing world, I was living my life completely disconnected from my body. My body was not a safe place to be. As a deeply feeling person, everything felt too much. I did not have the capacity to be with myself, so I disconnected.
I spent my adolescence and early adult years in the throws of eating disorder and all that came along with that. I was so scared to feel that I numbed everything out. Because when I felt, I became swallowed up by the feelings with nowhere to turn. Starving myself made life manageable. Until, it didn’t. I eventually pieced together recovery. Decided I could no longer live the way I was and if I wanted to stay alive, I had no choice but to find a way to no longer self-destruct. 25 years of talk therapy and I never actually felt better.
I was alive. I was functioning. I was doing everything I was “supposed to do.” Got married, had kids, built a business and non-profit, and something inside was so deeply off.
My body began talking louder. Louder. Louder. So loud, I could no longer ignore it. I could no longer push it down. When I finally admitted to myself that I was not happy and something was so out of alignment with what felt true to me, that is when things began to shift. It was in the slow down. The staying with the hurt one moment longer. The asking myself, “does this feel true for me?”
Somatic Experiencing changed my life.
With my personal journey in hand, I began the 3 year training to be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and with that came the deep knowing that this work has the power to change lives, change communities, change the world.
When we heal our wounds, increase our capacity to be with the range of human experiences, and fortify our own nervous systems, the impact will ripple. We do not heal in isolation.
We heal when we are brave enough to meet ourselves, allow ourselves to be seen, and choose to do something different.
At the end of the day, you decide. Do you want to go there? Want to go into the depths of your wounds and rewrite the story? If yes, I will walk beside you as you reclaim your depth.
This work is for you if you:
Have done some work and are ready to go deeper
Are frustrated with the “wellness communities” obsession with “love and light”
Know there is more out there for your healing
At a crossroad in your life. Do you choose yourself?
Have been through some shit and crave connection, depth, and realness
Know you are holding old stories in your body and want a different way
If this resonates with you, let’s connect to see if we are a good match to work together in your journey.
