About Julia
Listen to your soul speaking through your body, it will show you the way home…
Hi, I’m Julia
I’m a bilingual (English / German) trauma-informed intuitive guide and soulful embodiment coach. I help people come home to themselves through a blend of soulful embodiment, sacred soul work & deep nervous system regulation.
For a long time, I lived with the quiet pain of not feeling connected to who I truly was — to my heart and soul. From early on, I learned how to adapt, to navigate different expectations and social codexes, and to hide the truth of me — even from myself — in order to belong across the different worlds I was moving between. I learned how to function. But I lost the connection to my true self — and for a long time, I didn’t know the way home.
My work today emerged from my own decades-long inner journey home to myself. It lives at the meeting point of heart-based presence, deep listening, embodied awareness, conscious movement, nervous-system attunement, and intuitive guidance — bridging psychology, somatics, energy, ancestral themes, ritual, and spiritual practice.
I call this sacred inner work and sacred being — a way of listening, receiving and processing that arises from presence rather than from systems.
Come home to yourself, trust your way.
If you’re here, you’ve probably already done a lot of inner work — yet some part of you still feels out of sync, not quite whole.
You might be navigating inner change, longing to be more of real you, underneath the patterns and conditioning, and wanting to let go of what no longer matches who you are becoming.
I meet you there with deep presence, gentle support, and the experience of being truly seen — so that you can reconnect with your heart, release old patterns, restore nervous-system balance, embrace your feelings and sensitivity as a source of guidance, and reclaim your inner wisdom — and simply come home to yourself.
Where My Work Grows From
Transformation can’t be forced or “done.” We can only create the conditions it needs to unfold naturally — safety, slowing down, deep listening, presence, heart-connection, sacred support and the willingness to be met in relationship.
Much of my work happens in the spaces where we step out of old meanings — and listen for what wants to emerge underneath.
A natural unfolding and inner knowing can then start to happen as we release blocks, restore nervous-system balance, and trust our connection with the intelligence of life itself. This isn’t a concept to me. It is the language my own life has taught me.
There Is a Deeper Intelligence at Work
Deep wisdom and the power of transformation flow naturally beyond what the
rational mind can grasp
They move and speak in their own sacred ways
We each have our unique ways of understanding and connecting
with this energy or Spirit.
When you reconnect with this wisdom — through body, mind, soul, and spirit — you begin to feel more free, more guided, and more at home within yourself.
From that place, you can live and create your life simply by being you.
I’m here to support you on this path of reconnection
My current season
This is a quieter, more inward season. Menopause, chronic illness, and the shedding of outdated coping strategies have brought me into deeper simplicity, listening, and truth. This season has strengthened the core of my work and distilled my role into its essence: a grounded space-holder and attuned guide who supports your inner work with unwavering presence.
I feel honoured to serve as a guide in support of your inner journey and your deeper truth.
My Qualifications &Trainings:
Intuition is at the heart of how I work.
A way of listening beneath words, sensing patterns, and receiving guidance and insight that support each person’s process in the moment. These threads now weave together into a way of working that helps people reclaim their sensitivity, reconnect with their essence, and allow transformation to unfold naturally from within.
This intuitive way of working is grounded in a wide and integrated professional background.
With a foundation that spans medicine, mindfulness-based body-centred psychotherapy, trauma- and nervous-system-informed work, ancestral healing, trance speaking, and energy- and sound-based approaches — alongside a deep interest in pre- and perinatal psychology — I bring a rich and evolving spectrum to my practice. Everything I have learned has also shaped my own inner journey of transformation.
Below is a more detailed overview of the trainings and pathways that have shaped my work over the years.

“As someone who has been in the field a long time, I can easily recognize Julia’s work as stellar. She works with clients in a sensitive, attuned, and respectful way, helping them to self reflect and heal from an embodied location. She combines felt-level experiencing with descriptive reflection and relational support in a way that creates an organic feeling of ‘being home’ in the fullness of ones body. I recommend her work to anyone who is on the embodied path.”

A Few Fun Facts
♢ My sentences often dance between between English and German. You’ll also often find me talking to myself — quite loudly, the older I get — in both.
♢ I love cooking and baking. Baking has been with me since childhood, and it still begins the same way: with a craving for cookie or cake dough. I bake because I want the dough, not the cake.
♢ I love cold swimming — my soul feels at home in mountain lakes and rivers, with creeks and boulders and that alive, icy water. I also love the ocean, but if I had to choose, my true dream home is with a view, near trees, gorges, and cold mountain lakes & streams.
♢ I’m a hermit at heart. I love connection, circle and community from a place of deep presence and heart — but nothing nourishes me more than my alone time. If at all you find me at a big party, it’ll likely be somewhere on the sideslines, for e.g. decorating the cake or doing the food.
♢ I need my coffee and my dream time in the mornings: yes, goggle-eyed, holding on to a huge mug and staring outside (must be at least a window with far view, some sky, and ideally some green). If I don’t do this, my day just doesn’t flow quite right. I even do it when I have to get up hideously early.
And more serious:
I found the language of neurodivergence only in my early 50s — long after my body had already known that my natural way of sensing, thinking and perceiving had been shaped by systems that asked me to think and function differently. I have to ‘feel-sense’ in order to think and speak, and I naturally sense patterns behind the patterns, feelings behind the feelings. I’m also highly sensitive.
Naming this later in life was deeply liberating. It helped me stop making these ways of being, processing and perceiving wrong — and instead truly embrace my gifts of deep feeling, pattern-seeing, and subtle sensing. This recognition continues to refine how I attune, listen, and hold space.
Not fitting in and not finding my authentic voice were complex, multilayered life themes for me, woven through personal and ancestral layers alike. I sometimes reflect on how differently my life might have unfolded had this neurodivergence and the theme of neurodiversity been named and honoured earlier — rather than growing up shaped by systems that asked me to speed up, adapt, and hide essential parts of myself in order to fit. I sense how many of us, in different ways, have learned to do the same.
Words from people who have worked with me:
-
“This work has been precious and profound beyond my expectations… I feel connected to my guiding core — strong and grounded to be me, and connected to a deeper realm of inner guidance. I couldn’t have dreamed of this, because I had no idea I could even feel this way.”
— Judy C., 1:1 monthly mentoring, California -
“There’s something so comforting in knowing that my body and system will always find a way. Julia always manages to open up the space for me to enter into that wisdom.
Deep shifts have happened — I can’t really put into words how. It’s deeply experiential. I can highly recommend working with her. Her gentle, sensitive approach, her deep wisdom and fine perception are exceptional.”
— Laura, Finland
My journey
Almost 20 years ago, I left my profession as a medical doctor to follow the whispers of my soul. What began as a search for deeper professional meaning became a decades-long journey into becoming whole — of healing, reconnecting to my heart, learning how to be fully present to myself, reclaiming my sensitivity, intuition, and quiet ways of knowing.
Along the way, my path has woven through sacred ceremony, body psychotherapy, somatic trauma work, sound healing, ancestral healing, energy work, trance work and deep nervous system regulation. These experiences now shape the way I work — grounded in both scientific understanding and intuitive wisdom.

What drives me
I long for a world in which we deeply honour our sensitive nature, our quiet depths, our true inner gifts, our inner knowing, the power of our hearts, and the mystery of being alive. A world in which we connect with each other and care for each other from the heart, rooted in our soul’s quiet essence, and where we are free to simply be who we truly are.
When we live grounded in our soul’s essence, our inner wisdom becomes medicine — for ourselves and for the world.
Everything you long to become is already alive within you.
I’m here to help you clear the path — and come home to who you truly are.
