About Julia Kyambi

Hi, I’m Julia

My path led me out of clinical medicine and into a long journey of inner transformation over 20 years ago.

I turned to somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness-based trauma healing, spiritual and shamanic healing, consciousness work, ancestral healing, movement, and energy work — first to heal and transform my own life, and over time developed the extensive background that now informs my work.

I don’t work as a doctor or therapist: I’m your companion in depth and a steady field-holder — here in service of your Sacred Inner Homecoming.

My work is for sensitive, deep-feeling people who feel the ache of not belonging or fitting in and who long to ground in the truth of being themselves and feel connected to spirit, their way.

I’m a medical doctor fully licensed in Germany, I’m also trained in Hakomi mindfulness-based body-centred psychotherapy & trauma therapy, an advanced Moving Cycle practitioner.
I don’t work as a medical doctor or therapist.
I’m also a Safe and Sound (SSP) /Rest and Restore (RRP) Protocol provider.
Through various workshops and trainings I have explored parts work, constellations, ancestral healing, trance work, conscious movement, sound healing, spiritual life coaching, shamanic and alchemical practices.
I have a deep interest in pre- and perinatal psychology.

My story

I was born into German-Kenyan lineages. I grew up in different systems and countries, and moved between the two from an early age.

It took me decades to find my way home to myself and the greater field of belonging we are all a part of.

That’s what I now help others do, and I like to call it

Sacred Inner Homecoming

My particular strength

Lies in following the knowing that is emerging in your experience.

I help you unlayer what is in the way and listen for what is taking shape beneath words, stories, and familiar patterns — and together, we follow it into the deeper layers of your system. This helps you root in the truth of you

As I listen deeply and tune in to what you are bringing I start to “feel-see” patterns and often receive intuitive images and 'downloads' that arrive during our sessions — clients consistently describe these as turning points that unlock something they couldn't have accessed on their own.
These aren't planned — they arise from tuning into what's trying to emerge through you.

Over time, this way of working allows patterns to loosen and your own inner guidance to take a more central role in how you live and move through the world, organically.

Intuitive listening shapes our work together

Intuitive and energetic perception are not occasional additions to my work — they are part of how I listen deeply. I feel into the deeper ‘energetic & feeling landscapes’ you are bringing. I may sense shifts in your field, see energy, feel ancestral layers, relational imprints, or subtle movements beneath what is being spoken.

The ‘me’ behind the scenes

A few fun facts

♢ My sentences often dance between between English, German and the non-verbal. You’ll also often find me talking to myself — quite loudly, the older I get — in all three.

♢ 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 spacious 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 example decorating the cake or doing the food.

♢ I’m notorious for hoarding empty jars, or really anything made of glass with a lid. My kitchen is filled with grains and pulses in bottles, and I love making things that can live in the smaller ones. Every now and again I have to declutter and be discerning — it’s become a ritual.

♢ 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.

“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.”

Trust your way.

If you’re here, you might be navigating inner transitions, feeling held back without knowing why,
longing to be more of the real you.

You might have poured your heart into creating a life that feels aligned
— be it for your work, your projects, or just your way of living, creating and being.

You’ve probably done a lot of inner work but somehow you’re still not feeling free inside.

You seem to fall back into the old feelings and patterns just as you’re ready to move forward
— even though you’re so ready to root in something new.

Whatever your story is and whether you identify as a seeker, achiever, gentle one, deep-feeler, soft sensitive soul,
different, quiet or someone who simply knows a deeper truth is calling you, I’m here for you.

I’d be honoured meet you there and walk a part of the way with you

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 been named and honoured earlier — rather than growing up shaped by environments that required 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.

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 — and holding complexity without rushing it.

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
