Work With Me
The promotion came. The title came. And still — something essential feels missing.
You can feel your next chapter. You just can't seem to begin it.
You give everything in your relationships sand somehow still lose yourself in them.
You're excellent at being who everyone needs you to be. You've spent decades being capable. You've forgotten who you actually are.
If any of this sounds familiar — you're in the right place.
This is for the ones who have done everything right — and are ready to do something true.
The Work Is 1:1 — And It Meets You Where You Are
Whether you're navigating a leadership transition, a relational shift, a creative crossroads, or a deeper personal reckoning — the work is somatic, transformative, and tailored entirely to you. No predetermined program. No one-size-fits-all framework. Just deep, focused attention on what's actually present — and what's ready to shift.
Ways In
Wild Ground Immersive
One, two, or three days of deep, uninterrupted work. For those ready to go beneath the surface quickly — to move through something significant, or begin a transformation that has been waiting long enough. This is where everything changes.
Supported Unfolding
Designed as a three- to twelve-month journey of regular 1:1 sessions—supporting sustained growth, deeper integration, and meaningful change over time.
Immersive + Integration
Begin with the depth of a Wild Ground Immersive — then continue with ongoing coaching to integrate, embody, and build on what emerged. The most complete container I offer.
"For the first time in a really long time, I feel like the person I've wanted to be. I feel confident, sure, open and engaged."
— Janet Weber
"You feel different. You move different. You are different." Embodied Resilience Workshops
Offered periodically throughout the year — in person.
You already know resilience. This is the wilder, truer, more embodied version of it.
These experiential workshops offer a powerful introduction to somatic and embodied practice — and a glimpse of what becomes possible when you stop performing resilience and start inhabiting it.
Join the list to be notified of upcoming dates.

Integrative Somatic & Energy Sessions
In person • Boulder, CO • 90 minutes to 2.5 hours
These sessions work at the intersection of mind-emotions-body — through conversation, touch, energy, and presence — to help you settle, restore, and return to yourself. No agenda beyond what's actually present when you arrive.
Each session begins with a grounded conversation — to set intention and explore what's alive for you in the moment. From there, the work is intuitive, responsive, and attuned to whatever is alive in the moment.
People come for many reasons:
Deep rest and restoration — the kind that reaches further than sleep.
Integration of other healing, therapeutic, or growth work
Relief from the accumulated weight of stress or transition
Clarity on something that's asking for your attention — a decision, a transition, a next step
A deeper connection with your own body, energy, and inner knowing
Simply — because something in you knows it's time
You don't need to be in crisis. You don't need a reason beyond curiosity or the quiet desire to get still enough to hear what you already know.
These sessions are also available as a check-in or tune-up for returning clients — no ongoing commitment required.
“Julie has a rare gift for creating a soft, warm, grounded, and unpretentious space. Being with her feels like being with a trusted, wise friend. She truly met me where I was—listening deeply and staying present with the personal issues I brought, without rushing or trying to fix anything. I’ve benefited deeply from her clean, clear, high-quality attention and her capacity to be with what’s real. Thank you, Julie—you are a gem.”

The Four Landscapes of the Work
Safe enough to be real. Wild enough to be free.
Most people try to build a better life on top of a body that doesn't feel safe, a mind they've never questioned, and an identity they inherited rather than chose.
This work doesn't add more. It removes what was never true. What remains is you — and it turns out that's more than enough.
These four landscapes describe the terrain of this work. You may find yourself in one — or in several at once. There is no wrong entry point, no fixed order, no hierarchy.
Read through, notice where you land, and bring what you discover to your first real conversation…
-
This is where the work begins — in the body. Learning that your body is not the enemy. Most people skip this landscape entirely, which is why nothing seems to change. You cannot access truth from a body that doesn't feel safe.
You might be here if:
You feel chronically overwhelmed, numb, or on edge.
Your body feels unfamiliar or hard to inhabit.
You can't seem to rest, even when things are "fine."
You understand things intellectually — but nothing actually shifts.
Before your first conversation, reflect on:
When did you last feel genuinely at ease in your own body?
When stress hits — do you go up (anxious, reactive) or inward (numb, withdrawn)?
Is there a part of you that believes slowing down is dangerous?
-
Your body holds what your mind has edited out — the grief, the longing, the knowing you've suppressed to stay safe, acceptable, employed, loved. This is where somatic truth-telling begins. Not the story you've been telling. The one your body already knows.
You might be here if:
You feel okay on the surface — but something still feels off.
You sense a gap between the life you're living and the one that's true.
You've spent years doing what you "should" — and feel quietly hollow.
You're afraid of what you might discover if you actually listened.
Before your first conversation, reflect on:
What do you want or know that you've never let yourself say out loud?
What are you grieving — even if you can't name exactly what was lost?
Whose definition of "a good life" have you been living?
-
This is the landscape where people get stuck longest. Releasing the performed self can feel like death, financial ruin, or relational collapse. The work here is learning to loosen the grip of who you've been — without free-falling. Discovering that what you release was never actually you.
You might be here if:
You know who you've been performing — you're just terrified to stop.
Your identity is entangled with your career, your title, or your role.
You're afraid that being authentic will cost you everything.
You feel caught between your real self and your survival self.
Before your first conversation, reflect on:
What part of your identity feels most like a performance — and what would happen if you let it down?
What are the golden handcuffs keeping you in place? Are they as solid as they feel?
What would you lose — and what might you finally gain — by becoming less who everyone needs you to be?
-
This is not reinvention. It is return. The person who emerges here isn't new — they're original. Freedom not as escape, but as arrival. This landscape is about learning to inhabit yourself fully — without apology, without performance, without waiting for permission.
You might be here if:
You've done the inner work and feel more yourself — but fully embodying it is still new.
You're in transition between who you were and who you're becoming.
You feel glimpses of the real you — and want support to stay there.
The old life is falling away and you're learning to trust what's emerging.
Before your first conversation, reflect on:
When do you feel most like yourself — and what makes that hard to sustain?
What would it mean to stop waiting for permission to fully be who you are?
What does freedom actually feel like in your body — not as a concept, but as a lived sensation?
Three Entry ways Into the Work
The work is the same. The entry point is yours to choose.
For Leaders
You've built something significant. You lead with skill, vision, and a level of capability that others rely on. And yet — something in how you lead, decide, or show up is costing you more than it should.
The pressure to always know. The performance of certainty. The weight of being who everyone needs you to be — in the boardroom, in the meeting, in the room where the hard decisions get made.
This work helps you move from pressure to presence. From performing leadership to embodying it. You'll make decisions from clarity instead of fear, lead from wholeness instead of exhaustion, and discover that your greatest professional asset has been here all along — underneath the performance.
This is for the leader who is ready to lead from who they actually are.
For Relationships
The patterns that show up in your closest relationships rarely have much to do with the other person.
They have to do with the stories you inherited about love, safety, and what you have to be in order to be chosen. The needs you learned to hide. The parts of yourself you've never felt safe enough to bring into the room.
This work doesn't fix relationships from the outside. It transforms them from within — by helping you show up differently. More honest. More present. More yourself. Less defended, less reactive, less shaped by what happened long before this relationship began.
This is for the person ready to stop repeating the same patterns — and start showing up whole.
For Your Own Journey
You don't need a crisis to begin. You don't need a label for what's wrong or a clear vision of what comes next.
You just need the sense — quiet but persistent — that there is more. More aliveness. More freedom. More of the self you've kept just out of reach while building everything else.
Maybe something is ending. Maybe something is trying to begin. Maybe you've simply outgrown the life you built — and you need support navigating the threshold between who you were and who you're becoming.
This work meets you exactly where you are. No agenda beyond what's actually present. No destination beyond what's true.
This is for anyone ready to stop waiting — and start inhabiting the life that was always meant to be theirs.
Not sure which doorway is yours?
That's exactly what a real conversation is for.

“Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, We will fall!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.
