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 who deeply honours the connection between body, mind, soul, and spirit. My work is rooted in the relationship between body, heart, soul, and the quiet transformational intelligence that lives beneath our stories.

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 had learned to function as best I could, but had lost my inner home, and I didn’t know the way home to myself.

My work today emerged from my own decades-long inner journey home to myself and 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.

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, having the courage to be present to ourselves, connecting with our heart and the deeper currents within, stepping away from meaning-making to embrace what is and allowing ourselves to be met in relationship.

That’s why I like to call it sacred growth and sacred being: it happens naturally when we step back, release the blocks, connect with our heart, restore balance in our nervous system, ground in presence, and trust our connection with the intelligence of life itself. This is not just a concept to me — it is the language my own life and inner journey has taught and continues to teach me.

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. Perhaps you still find yourself stuck in old feelings or emotional push-pull cycles that just don’t seem to resolve, despite the effort you have put into releasing them.

I meet you in that space — with deep presence, gentle support, and the experience of being truly seen. So that you can connect with your heart, release old patterns, restore nervous-system balance, reclaim your sensitivity and embrace your feelings as sacred navigation compasses.

This work creatively invites you to trust your own inner knowing and your unique connection to universal wisdom and guidance, however that resonates for you. As this unfolds, many people rediscover a quiet sense of both knowing and belonging — to their very beingness, to their body, to their life, and to the wider field of life that holds us all.

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

Is a quieter, more inward one. Menopause, chronic illness, and the steady unraveling of old coping strategies have brought me into deeper simplicity, deeper listening, and a profound need for solitude and truth. This season has softened me, refined me, and clarified what truly matters in ways I could not have imagined. As I dive more into my own pace, sensitivity, gentleness, slowness, and the wisdom of the spaces underneath and beyond our stories, the way I hold space is continually being refined. I see myself more as a space holder, field tender, guide, and channel to support your inner journey.

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.

With a background that spans medicine, mindfulness-based body-centred psychotherapy, trauma- and nervous-system-informed work, ancestral healing, trance speaking and energy- and sound-based approaches, along with a deep interest in pre- and perinatal psychology, I bring a rich and evolving foundation to my practice. Everything I have learned has also shaped my own inner journey of transformation.

“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:

Just a few years ago, I learned that I’m neurodivergent. I have to ‘feel-sense’ in order to think and speak, and naturally sense patterns behind the patterns, feelings behind the feelings, amongst other things. It’s been liberating to recognise that this is simply part of the unique way I’m wired to listen, notice, feel, connect, process, pace and perceive. I’m also highly sensitive.

I wonder how my life might have unfolded if I could have understood and embraced this about myself from the start — instead of being shaped by systems that forced me to speed up, think, process and feel differently, and hide myself away trying to make myself fit. I’m not quite done processing that, especially because not fitting in and not finding my authentic voice have been complex, multilayered life themes in my life that also reach far back into ancestral realms. Perhaps by the time you read this, I’ll have written more about this in my blog).

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
“Every session with Julia brought something meaningful.
Whatever I came in with — stuckness, overwhelm, uncertainty — something always shifted. She holds a space where new information can sink in in places where it is needed.
Thank you Julia, I feel empowered so that I can be me.”
— Maryline D., 1:1 sessions, Germany

“My work with Julia is deep and profound. A long journey healing complex trauma has been transformative, yet there remained a level of deep fear and difficulty being in the world. With Julia's sensitive attunement, wisdom and skill, combined with her ability to tune into/receive cosmic downloads beyond the visible realm, I'm opening new places of connection within that I didn't know were possible. Julia's unique way of working weaves together physical somatic levels, nervous system, emotional, energic and spiritual levels. I can see and feel the possibility of moving forwards in my life without carrying the burdens of past personal and ancestral trauma. Such a precious Gift for which I'm immensely grateful. ”
— Leah, SSP client, Australia
“Julia is an amazing facilitator for group programs, the content of the course is wide and as she said this course is an experiential one. You will have the opportunity to practice individual and in group sessions exercises made for your soul and for connecting with your inner and higher guidance. This course is a magical journey for discovering a new you, new horizons and for feeling better and more connected with your soul and the universe. Thank you Julia for opening my eyes!”

My journey

Almost 20 years ago, I left my profession as a medical doctor to follow the whispers of my soul and find my deeper life's purpose. It took decades of deep inner work to reclaim myself as a deep-feeling, perceiving, sensitive, often quiet, fluidly intuitive and neurodivergent being with deep cosmic shamanic-spiritual medicine roots and an ability to sense bigger patterns in themes.

My path has woven through sacred ceremony, body psychotherapy, somatic trauma work, sound healing, ancestral healing, energy work, and deep nervous system regulation—always in search of becoming fully present to myself. This journey has gifted me an extensive background grounded in scientific, holistic, and intuitive approaches, which now shapes the work I offer to you.

What drives me

I long for a world in which we can deeply honour our exquisitely sensitive nature, our quiet depths, our true inner gifts, our inner knowing, the power of our hearts, the mystery and magic of being, and the hearts and souls of others. A world in which we connect with each other from the heart, rooted in our soul’s quiet essence and be free to be who we truly want to be.

Because when we live grounded in our soul’s essence, our inner wisdom becomes medicine — for ourselves and for the world.
