Julie | Therapist

I am a registered Dance Movement Therapist with a passion for therapy using movement, somatic awareness and unique self-expression.  My approach as a therapist is collaborative, caring, non-judgemental and client centered. I aim to be a guide, to support you in the navigation of challenging life issues, towards resolution, comfort and peace. 

 

My belief is that we all hold innate wisdom within our mind/bodies that can support us in our journey to healing and wellness. I aim to work with clients towards the experience of the body not only being trusted, but the site of long lasting transformation and empowerment.  I do this through somatic immersion, movement exploration and therapeutic alliance.

I have experience working with a number of populations including: women, clients experiencing post traumatic stress, youth, elderly and the special needs community. I am open minded, open hearted, queer friendly, culturally aware and approachable.

I am available to support clients with issues including (not limited to): anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity exploration, self-esteem and body image.  

Whanganui town is where I am based, across a few different locations. I am able to travel up to 45 minute within the surrounding region. I am also available for online therapy sessions. I hold a Diploma of Dance Movement Therapy with DTNZ and I am trained in Mindful Somatic Trauma Therapy. 

 

Please feel free to get in touch with me. I would love to hear from you with any questions or to book an initial appointment.
