Guiding you back to your essence

In our work together, I offer a safe and supportive container to peel back the layers and help you reconnect with your authentic self by moving through what is clouding your natural state of joy, love, and peace. By uncovering your innate wisdom, I help you build a heart-centered life filled with joy, purpose, freedom and connection.

My work blends integrative coaching techniques with parts work, embodied processing, indigenous wisdom, Eastern philosophy, and Western psychology (in particular Jungian and transpersonal psychology).

My private inner work sessions are designed to help you with the following:

  • Cultivate a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself

  • Feel more present, intuitive, embodied, and grounded

  • Expand your capacity for emotional depth, breadth, and regulation so you outgrow the need to numb or escape

  • Heal the roots of trauma and the imprint left in your mind & body

  • Build secure and meaningful relationships, grounded in trust and connection

  • Establish nurturing habits that are motivated by love, not fear

  • Reconnect with your soul’s true desires and purpose

Ways to work together

There are three main ways that we can work together:

  • Psychedelic Consultation, Preparation & Integration

  • Embodied Processing

  • Coaching Programs

Psychedelic Consultation, Preparation & Integration

The psychedelic experience is profound yet complex. To navigate it safely and with intention, and to fully actualize its potential, working with a trusted guide throughout the process can make all the difference.

Integration is the most important but hardest part of the journey. Expanded states of consciousness are tools of awareness, but it is up to us to decide what we do with the awarenesses they gift us. After the ecstasy, the laundry, as Jack Kornfield said.

With compassionate guidance and vast experience to draw on, I support you through each stage of the psychedelic process: whether you’re exploring psychedelic medicine for the first time and need guidance selecting a medicine and setting, have just come out of a deep (and perhaps challenging) experience, or are preparing to return for deeper work. This work empowers you to safely access the wisdom psychedelic journeys offer and maximize the benefits and gifts you receive while minimizing risk.

Embodied Processing

For those looking to move beyond the cognitive realms of talk therapy and coaching, embodied processing is a somatic therapy modality that offers a way to connect with what is trapped in our unconscious and helps us reclaim the power of our emotions.

This modality is a root-cause therapy that blends elements from somatic experiencing with polyvagal theory, parts work, and embodied inquiry. It is grounded in the impact trauma has on our nervous systems and recognizes that true healing doesn’t happen in the mind but in the body, which is governed largely by the unconscious.

In inward-focused, guided session, we work with direct experience and the realms of energetics and sensation to release trapped emotions, expand your capacity to be with the felt sense, and cultivate a grounded, compassionate presence. Many find this work to be gentler path through the same process that psychedelic medicines trigger.

This work is an excellent tool for psychedelic preparation and integration that may be woven into integration sessions if appropriate.

Coaching Programs

For a more comprehensive, structured program that provides a safe and loving container to transform your inner landscape over the course of several months, I take on a handful of clients for private mentoring each quarter.

Over the course of three months, we journey through a holistic approach that blends compassionate investigation, embodied processing, and action-oriented coaching based on your needs. This program is not reliant on working with psychedelics but can include it if we both agree that you would benefit.

The program includes the following:

  • 1x 90-minute intake call via Zoom to assess where you are now, tap into your desires, determine priorities, and set the foundation for the work ahead

  • 5x 50-minute bi-weekly coaching calls via Zoom or phone to investigate and process what’s arising, integrate new awarenesses, and determine the most supportive next steps, coaching you through any challenges that may arise

  • Weekly action items and resources shared post-session to deepen your journey

  • Ongoing support in between sessions via e-mail, text, and voice note, so you feel held along the process

Coaching is currently waitlist only. To enter the waitlist, please send me a message via the button below if you have the Substack app or e-mail me at forjuliachristina@gmail.com

What qualifies me as your guide

Over the past few years, I’ve coached countless individuals one-on-one, held space in group and private ceremonies with plant medicines such as Ayahuasca, Bufo, and mushrooms, immersed myself in the philosophies and practices of various wisdom traditions, trained in a range of root cause modalities, and witnessed over 200 individuals move through the process of recovering their essence.

All of my work is informed by my own journey of healing acute and developmental trauma which manifested as depression and a decade-long addiction, a process through which I left behind an unfulfilling career for a heart-centered life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and connection.

I’ve undergone the following trainings:

  • The Centre for Healing, Embodied Processing Level 1 & 2

  • IFS Institute, Foundations of the IFS Model

  • Academy for Intuition Medicine, Healing 1 & 2

  • Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Integrative Health Coaching Certification

  • Awakened Spirit Yoga, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training & The Center for Trauma and Embodiment, 20-hour Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Teacher Training

  • Always Play, Breathwork Facilitator Training

it was a dream
in which my greater self
rose up before me
accusing me of my life
with her extra finger
whirling in a gyre of rage
at what my days had come to.
what,
i pleaded with her, could i do,
oh what could i have done?
and she twisted her wild hair
and sparked her wild eyes
and screamed as long as
i could hear her
This.  This.  This.
