Do you know what it's like…

To be told a condition is permanent?

To accept a limitation because of what has happened?

To carry pain & fear quietly because you've learned to live with it?

…discover that none of that has to be true


Awaken Your Capacity for Healing, Strength & Joy

Integrative Energy Work
& Pilates-Based Movement

I bring 25 years of experience helping people
move more freely in their bodies & in their lives

  • Woman holding baby feeling  joyful from energy work.

    Energy Work

    Energy work creates a reset on the long term effects of what you have lived. When you address emotional triggers and fears, deep transformation becomes possible.

    Chakra balancing — restore the foundation of how you feel, function & show up in the world.

    Archetype/Shadow work - remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

    Past Life review - feel the freedom of finally healing past wounds and living joyfully now.

    Clearing & Balancing — Create a stable, clear environment to feel at peace and free from outside interference for your family, pets and home.

    Pilates-based Movement

    Build the foundation for how you move through life—with greater core strength, stability, flexibility, mobility, balance, and posture that supports your joyful, healthy movement.

    Your body is ever-changing. This means you have far greater capacity for strength and renewal than you may realize. These are more than nice words. They are powerful instructions — that I have discovered in my work with clients and fueled by my personal healing experience.

    Specialized classes available for:

    Bone Health - effective movement to empower those managing osteopenia and osteoporosis.

    Strength & Recovery — support for post phyiscal therapy recovery.

  • Woman feeling transformed from Integrative Method work

    Integrated Method

    The powerful partnership of movement and energy work:

    We release and transform emotional triggers, unresolved trauma, phobias, behavior patterns and limiting beliefs that restrict physical movement and recovery — then teach your body it is now free of those effects.

    Your body receives the movement work differently, because the underlying energetic blockage has been addressed. And the energy work now has something concrete to anchor onto — new physical patterns that support the transformation.

    This work is for people who:

    • Experience reoccurring pains, stiffness, injuries, or feel something holds them back from recovery and greater strength.

    • Want a holistic, gentler approach to beginning shadow work, trauma release and transforming emotional triggers.

    I developed this method with over two decades of working with Pilates-based movement and energy facilitation — and guiding people to discover the power in integration for deeper, more lasting change.

This work is rejuvenating

Feel greater alignment with your true self as energy is transformed, and your body learns how to live in that new freedom.

Recapture how you felt before the stress & experiences took a toll

Maybe your body is asking for help— from recurring pain, old injuries that won't fully heal, limitations you have been told are chronic.

Maybe you want to build strength, improve your core, balance, or feel empowered through osteopenia or osteoporosis with safe, effective movement.

Or perhaps something deeper is calling— you feel stuck, carrying old wounds, sense there's something holding you back from the life you want to live.

Energy work creates the reset on the long term effects of what you have lived.

Movement work teaches your body it is now free to move with who you are now.

“Julie and I first became connected 3 years ago, when my cat was in a fatal condition. Within hours of Julie’s facilitation, my cat was eating and looked healthy and fine. This was after the vet saying that she had only a few days left to live.

Since then, Julie has been my facilitator for myself, cats, and other loved ones. She has helped me transform my life in ways I can never thank her enough or express in words fully.

I feel clearer, lighter, unaffected by other influences and just myself; headaches or other physical symptoms lift away and I feel safe and peaceful in my home and surroundings.

I have experienced so many wonderful benefits and have been able to reclaim my life. Julie has helped me to heal emotional wounds and blockages. I feel like the real me and more myself than I have in a long time with Julie’s help.”

“I have gone through the deepest darkness, which has been part of my spiritual path and I believe that I made it, because I got the best help that one could possibly have on earth. 

Julie is one of the mentors who really helped me especially to get through the hardest part of my journey. She does this work with 100% dedication and with a huge heart that she has. She is highly talented and open hearted, and her intuition and insights have helped me a lot on my spiritual journey. 

My path would have not been the same without her, so I am forever grateful and really lucky to have her as a mentor  ❤️”

An angel painting that represents healing and liberation from shadow work

Working with Julie has been one of the most profound experiences of my personal and spiritual journey. Before reaching out to her, I was scared, confused, and completely stuck in my Archetype Shadow work.

I kept feeling this gentle nudge—seeing her radiant face. She responded with such grace, and from that moment onward everything began to shift and what followed was nothing short of life-changing.

The healing that unfolded was deep, powerful, and liberating—like light breaking through layers of shadow I didn’t even realize I was still carrying.

Her intuitive guidance, compassion, and presence create an environment where transformation feels safe, natural, and inevitable. I felt lighter, clearer, and more aligned. She is a true healer, a luminous soul, and a gift to anyone ready to do the deep work of self-discovery and healing.”

"Julie is a godsend! I've struggled with lower back pain, core weakness, and posture issues for years. I've tried working out consistently, walking, and adding more stretching into my routine, but nothing really helped. Then I contacted Julie.

Julie introduced me to muscles I had never purposefully engaged before, and it completely changed the way I view exercise. She's helped me understand how to activate and stretch different areas in a way that actually supports my body.

This is just the beginning, and I'm excited to see the progress as we continue working together. No matter what stage of fitness you're in, Julie can help. I'd recommend her to anyone!”

Her attention to detail is second to none. Each week I can count on her for an individualized program designed just for me; there is no cookie cutter approach with Julie. She gently guides me toward the goals I want to achieve and celebrates each accomplishment. She is a kind, sensitive, and thoughtful teacher, highly observant and attuned to not just the physical but the emotional and mental as well. I look forward to my sessions with her every week."

"Julie's Bone Health class is the perfect way to start your week! I am much stronger and more flexible due to taking her classes.

Julie's deep knowledge of bone health and body anatomy informs each class. She integrates this knowledge to keep class interesting and fun. She is also attentive to each person's form and gently corrects us if needed. I enjoy that I can attend from anywhere and don't have to leave the house to get to class.

Julie's classes support my goal to stay healthy and strong."

"In addition to regular Pilates exercises, Julie often leads me through a deep breathing/grounding exercise that has helped me to identify and ease some areas of my body that have long carried pain and tightness. My shoulders and neck have especially benefitted from this work. I so appreciate her ability to guide me through this exercise.

I am in the best shape of my life and I owe much of it to Julie's guidance and expertise. Anyone who is looking to get stronger and stand straighter should work with Julie.”

How we work together - Energy Work

  • A mother and daughter feeling calm and peaceful with  energy work

    Clearing & Balancing

    I facilitate while you go about your day, so you do not need to be present for this work. There are 20+ types of clearing and 30+ types of balancing facilitation done — so your updates are important to help fine-tune which aspects of the work is most helpful for your family.

  • A woman sitting by the sea with her colorful aura representing  balanced chakras

    Chakra Balancing

    I facilitate while you go about your day, so you do not need to be present for this work. I can provide details on what was discovered with a short call or email, depending on your preferred method of communication.

    Deeper work is available to discover sources of repetitive chakra imbalances. We meet via video call for a 1 hour session. This is usually multi-session work.

  • A woman dancing with her inner child while doing shadow work

    Archetype/Shadow Work

    We meet via video call. The first session is 1.5 hours, and includes time to acquaint you with this work. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for one hour.

    This work address deep-rooted issues, and a minimum of four sessions is recommended. After the initial sessions, a deeper level of work is available. The quantity and pace of our sessions is guided by your comfort and schedule.

  • A man in past life regression seeing into another embodiment

    Past Life Review

    We meet via video call. The session is scheduled for 2 hours, but there is no additional charge if it naturally extends beyond that. There is an hour of preparatory work that is done before we meet.

    Some situations are resolved in one session. Deep-rooted issues usually take multiple sessions to fully resolve. Each session addresses an important layer, and that makes way for something deeper to surface and heal.

How we work together — Integrated Method

Deep transformation happens when we address both energetic patterns & how the body has learned to move.

We meet via video call for a 75-90 minute session. Each session includes targeted energy and movement work to address emotional triggers and physical limitations, and teach your body to accept new, healthier patterns.

We move fluidly between guided exercises and grounding techniques — releasing what's being held. Then integrating that release through movement re-patterning, with core, stability, mobility and flexibility work, posture and balance training and fascia work. Focused activation of weak or inactive muscles helps develop healthy muscular and movement patterns.

Timeline: This is multi-session work. Patterns that have existed for years rarely shift in a single session. Each session builds on the last, deepening the release and strengthening new movement patternsso your body can be shown how to accept new, healthier way to move with freedom and joy.

Integrated Method sessions can be added on to enhance other energy and movement work that you are doing.

Experience the convenience, support & strength
of remote movement work

Supporting your own body weight helps develop a deeper connection & confidence that flow seamlessly into your life.

“I was initially skeptical about doing Pilates on Zoom.  I was concerned that Julie wouldn’t be able to see when I was out of position or doing a move incorrectly.  

I was wrong.  Julie is extraordinarily well trained and is incredibly aware of how our bodies work.  She is able to see the smallest imperfection in my positioning and immediately corrects me.  

I am in the best shape of my life, and I owe much of it to Julie’s guidance and expertise.”

Judy, Deerfield, IL

“I love the convenience of the remote Bone Health classes and Julie is so wonderful in creating an atmosphere that feels like we're all in the same room. She continues to bring new ideas and elements into each week's class just as she did when I started taking her classes in person many years ago.

And she is so spot on in identifying movement/alignment and when necessary, helping me make the subtle adjustments so that the exercises have the greatest impact. It's very impressive!!"

What draws me to this work is witnessing the moment someone realizes:

“My body knows. My heart knows.
And they have been waiting for me to remember what I am capable of.”

A woman connecting with her heart and body and remembering what she is capable of by doing  integrated Energy Work and Pilates

Discover What is Possible…

Some come for the physical work—
to build strength, improve balance & posture, support bone health, address chronic pain, or recover from injury.

Others are drawn to the energy work —
sensing there is something deeper holding them back, seeking emotional, physical and spiritual healing.

And some discover that combining both creates a more lasting transformation.

Whatever brings you here, we work at your pace and comfort level. We start with a free call to discuss your needs and aspirations.

It all starts with being open to the possibility that something can change.
