As a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, Julie specializes in a therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from trauma and other emotional difficulties. Brainspotting is a powerful method that combines eye positions and bilateral stimulation to access and release deep-seated emotional patterns.

Additionally, Julie is a Registered Art Therapist, which means she utilizes art as a means of self-expression and healing.   Her Art Experiential sessions can be particularly effective for individuals who find it challenging to verbalize their emotions, as it provides an alternative channel for communication and self-reflection.

Moreover, Julie is a Reiki II Healer, indicating that she has attained a certain level of training in the Japanese energy healing practice of Reiki. Reiki promotes relaxation and stress reduction, as well as physical and emotional healing, by channeling healing energy through the practitioner's hands.

Mindfulness and meditation are also integral aspects of Julie's practice. These techniques help individuals cultivate present-moment awareness, reduce stress, and develop a deeper connection with their inner selves.
