Congratulations for finding your way to an embodied approach to learning the modality of Somatic Experiencing (SE).
I want to support you as you learn the language of your body, develop more regulation and resilience, and build your somatic skills for working with trauma.
I provide on-line individual and group consultations for Somatic Practitioners, specifically Somatic Experiencing students and Somatic Experiencing Practitioners (SEPs). I also offer in-person workshops for Somatic Practitioners.
I have a small private practice where I work with individuals with developmental trauma, using touch and movement.
When I first started out as a student of Somatics, I remember experiencing a huge sense of relief when my teacher was curious about ALL the different experiences that students were having in the room.
As a somatic educator, my goal is to help students cultivate the skills to listen, respect and support the intelligence of lived experience, across the dimensions of the body, psyche and spirit.
Look forward to connecting with you.

Congratulations for finding your way to an embodied approach to working with trauma.
Thank you for your interest in my work and here is important information about my Scope of Practice:
As a Somatic Practitioner and Educator, my scope of practice is to support people to build their skills around body awareness and regulation. We also create opportunities to repair attachment ruptures and complete incomplete survival responses.
We may use your cognitive narrative, not for the purpose of psychotherapy or counselling, but as a means to support you to deepen your relationship with your body and your somatic narrative. We work with developing co-regulation and self-regulation and building a felt sense of safety and comfort as well as building your capacity to feel uncomfortable sensations.
We work with uncoupling traumatic memories and recouping healthy associations, by working with touch and movement. I am not certified as a mental health practitioner, and I reserve the right to refer out, should we not be a good fit or if the work is outside of my scope of practice. I am passionate about creating a transparent and consensual relationship where I can fully disclose and share with clients the methodology and somatic approaches that we can use to support the body to heal from trauma.
Please download my intake form & agreements for working together here.
Look forward to connecting with you.
Warmly, Julie

"I loved our experiential learning together as a small group and found the integration of theory and practice so helpful in deepening my understanding of SE approaches. Julie your presence and creative flexibility provided a solid springboard for our emerging insights and awareness."
“Julie has a lovely facilitation style that encourages participation and curiosity. She brings a wealth of experience to the topic and has a great way of helping to integrate the information into a form of embodiment."
“I felt that I came away with a deeper understanding of the topics that we had been discussing. Overall the weekend was stimulating and supportive, and I would love to participate again.”
“ A wonderful enriching experience, which fulfilled my objective, that of bringing a deeper understanding of the physiological component in EMDR therapy -a modality I use extensively. I highly recommend Julie's workshops to all professionals working with clients in recovery from chronic developmental, and / or acute, post traumatic dysregulation.”

"Julie has a wealth of knowledge about the human body and somatic approaches to trauma. She supports a learning environment which is relaxed, respectful and relational. Her workshops have helped and inspired my work with clients who are seeking to address the effects of trauma."
“Julie is an open, warm, and receptive facilitator who naturally weaves her expert knowledge and craft into the teaching and questions of the day. Learning about the physiology and then getting to embed those insights through right brain somatic practices and exercises deepened the work and felt really supportive. Julie provides lots of choice and spaciousness to explore the content.”
“Julie’s body of knowledge, fusion of concepts, methodologies and practices is incredible. The teaching is facilitated in such a way it is translatable to any modality already in use by a practitioner. Having the tools and confidence to support clients increase somatic awareness and capacity is a valuable and necessary expansion to my coaching practice. We are incredibly fortunate to have teacher of this experience and commitment in New Zealand.”

My clinical practice is full for 2024. Please join my newsletter to find out when I will be taking new clients.
I am mentoring to become faculty with Somatic Experiencing International which requires that I travel internationally to mentor with senior faculty in 2024 and 2025. As part of my mentoring process, I offer individual and small group case consultations for Somatic Experiencing Practitioners and Somatic Experiencing Students, both in person and via ZOOM.
My workshops are currently only in person, but I will be offering on-line versions of these same workshops in 2025.
I am available to offer 1-2 day “Introduction to Somatic Experiencing” Workshops for either the general public or for practitioners who want to learn more about the Somatic Experiencing modality and how they can apply some of the SE principles into their daily work. Introduction to SE Workshops are also a great way to learn more about what is offered in the 3-year training before committing to this professional training program.
If you are interested in enrolling in the Somatic Experiencing 3-year professional training, or if you have attended one of my “Introduction to SE” presentations and would like more information about how you can integrate SE into your scope of practice, please feel free to schedule an individual consultation with me.
Sign up for my bi-annual newsletter where I send updates on future workshops as well as share tips and lessons for transforming trauma through the use of touch and movement.
