Holistic Wellness

For individuals and groups

I am fully certified in ISTP™ and received training by Ratha Chek - the creator of this therapeutic approach.

ISTP™ sessions provide deep healing for the mind, body and soul to release body-stored trauma and tension. As we move throughout releasing, we create a sense of safety for emotional healing and improved wellbeing.

These sessions weave together

  • Gentle yoga and breathwork

  • Bodywork for myofascial release

  • Ceremony

  • Mindfulness practices

  • Embodied processing & integration

  • Sound healing

  • Resilience enhancement

  • Bioenergetic unwinding

Ayurvedic Nutrition

 Ayurveda is rooted in ancient Hindu medicine, and considered "the science of yoga." Ayurvedic Nutrition with Julia entails aligning the mind and body according to its constitution through holistic nutrition and lifestyle. As needed, Ayurvedic nutrition can be incorporated into counselling, psychotherapy, and ISTP™ sessions, or can be offered as a stand-alone session.
