Embodied Freedom
Safe Enough to be Free

You've achieved everything you were supposed to. So why does something still feel missing?

Because you haven't yet discovered something wilder, truer, and more alive — the freedom of being fully, unapologetically yourself.

This isn't talk therapy. It isn't traditional coaching.

Your brain can think whatever it wants. But if your nervous system can't hold it — and your identity won't believe it — you won't manifest it.

That's where this work begins. Somatic and transformative — meeting you in the body and in the deeper sense of who you are, beneath the conditioning. You don't just understand yourself differently. You feel different. You move differently. You are different.

Freedom isn't a destination. It's a practice — one that deepens your awareness of when you've slipped back into the cage of your own making, and strengthens your capacity to find your way out.

When the body is no longer running old patterns on autopilot, something opens. Clarity arrives. Confidence settles. And beneath all of it — a quiet recognition that you are far more expansive than the story you've been living.

This is the work. And it begins with one real conversation.

SOMATIC & TRANSFORMATIVE COACHING

For overachievers & seekers —

ready to step out of the box of who you believed you had to be,

and into the aliveness that sets you free

The Work

Real change doesn't happen in the mind alone. It happens in the body — in the places where old patterns live, where conditioning runs quietly on autopilot, where the stories we inherited take up residence without our permission. This work goes there.

Through somatic and transformative practices, we work beneath the surface — not to fix what's broken, but to remember what's whole. Session by session, you learn to recognize the patterns and beliefs that have been running the show, release what no longer belongs to you, and inhabit yourself in a way that is fuller, freer, and unmistakably real.

What becomes possible:

  • You make decisions from clarity instead of fear.

  • You respond from choice instead of reactivity.

  • You stop shrinking to fit spaces that were never meant for you.

  • You hear your own voice clearly — and trust it.

  • You move through uncertainty without losing yourself.

  • You discover that who you are, beneath all of it, is more than enough.

“The most common form of despair 
is not being who you are." 

~Søren Kierkegaard

Work With Me:

The work is 1:1 — and it meets you where you are:

Whether you're navigating a major life 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 We Can Work Together:

Embodied Freedom Immersive— One, two, or three days of deep, uninterrupted work. For when you're ready to go beneath the surface quickly, and move through what's been waiting long enough.

Ongoing Integration — Three to twelve months of regular 1:1 sessions. Steady support for change that unfolds and compounds over time.

Immersive + Integration — Begin with the depth of an immersive. Continue with ongoing sessions to integrate what emerged. The most complete way to work together.

Not sure which is right for you? That's exactly what a real conversation is for.

Integrative Somatic Sessions
In person · Boulder, CO · 90 minutes to 2.5 hours

These sessions work at the intersection of mind, emotion, and body — through conversation, touch, and subtle attunement to the nervous system — 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 and responsive, following what's actually present rather than a predetermined plan.

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 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.

Meet Julie

I grew up believing life had one path — one partner, one career, one steady shore to stand on. Instead, I've lived in five states, reinvented myself more times than I planned, and learned — again and again — that the stability I was searching for outside myself was always available within.

I know what it feels like to fall apart when change arrives. And I know what it feels like to find ground anyway.

I also know what it looks like when someone finally steps out of the cage of who they believed they had to be. I watched it happen to my father when I was sixteen — the moment he finally told his truth after a lifetime of hiding it. He didn't just change. He became lighter. More present. More himself. I've never forgotten what that kind of release looks like — or what it makes possible.

That's why I do this work.

Three decades of somatic and transformative practice, lived experience, and a deep belief that who you are beneath the conditioning is more than enough — that's what I bring to every session.

  • “Working with Julie was a true gift. Her combination of deep wisdom, skilled training, poised leadership and soft human connection makes her a coach like no other. She illuminates answers to questions you didn't know you had and she brings clarity and structure to areas of the unknown. I enjoyed my work with Julie immensely and credit her for giving me confidence to grow in areas that otherwise didn't feel accessible. Her gentle and persistent guidance were comforting and encouraging and became the springboard for personal insights and growth. She is someone who you want with you as a guide as we all walk this windy path of life.”

    Brooke Golden

  • “Working with Julie has been an open-hearted creative journey. She has helped me discover and nurture vital aspects of my life with ongoing curiosity and creativity. Her unique blend of executive and somatic coaching creates a unique experience of self discovery. What I appreciate most is her holistic approach, facilitating both physical and emotional process of healing. She invites you to listen deeply to the spaces that call you into exploration with inner wisdom. I’ve learned to meet myself in ways I never imagined.”

    Kara Mayberry

  • “Julie challenges me to have a different perspective and always approach situations with questions to gain a better understanding. I have found all my sessions to be impactful.”

    Candace U

  • “The business world is abundant with leadership coaches, and I often wonder what draws people to this work. Is it a deep desire to support the development of others and help them succeed… that comes from a giving, caring place...or is it for personal ego gratification? Julie represents the former. She is open, authentic and empathetic. Many people say of her: "It is so easy to talk to you!" Isn't that the key ingredient of working with a coach…someone you feel comfortable opening up to and confident they will support you in whatever way is needed in order to help you get to where you want to go and become the leader you want to be?"

Take a breath. Notice what's present. Sometimes clarity comes not from pushing forward — but from pausing long enough to listen.

Ready for a real conversation? If something on this page stirred something in you — that's worth exploring.
