Coming home
to all of you.

I love to come alongside people with compassion through Internal Family Systems and the Enneagram so that they can live from a true center.

About

A practice grounded in presence.

Julie in a quiet moment

I walk alongside people in moments of transition, grief, becoming, and quiet awakening. My work weaves Internal Family Systems with the wisdom of the Enneagram: two maps that, together, illuminate how we protect ourselves and how we come home.

Before this work, I spent years as a Montessori educator and school administrator. I'm a 2023 graduate of the Living School at the Center for Action and Contemplation, where I now serve as a guide for current students.

I believe every part of you has a reason. Together we make room for them, gently and without rush, so the Self you already are can lead.

"There is nothing in you that needs fixing. Only listening to."
