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.

Look forward to connecting with you.

Warmly, Julie
