About Julisa
 e are beings of great depth. Much of the time we are only aware of the surface of ourselves,
and try to make our lives work from there. Deep healing occurs when we go beneath the surface, explore the
depths of our psyche and connect to the pure awareness of spirit or love, within ourselves, and each other.
My work focuses on using breath and body awareness as well as hypnosis to work with the roots of inner blocks
and conflicts. Compassion and heartfulness create a space which invites the psyche to open, allowing old
patterns and traumas to naturally dissolve. Traditional counseling methods are integrated with spirituality,
depth psychology, EMDR, and body-centered psychotherapy.
When I was 18, exposure to the elements
resulted in hypothermia and a near-death experience. This experience created an opening to the spiritual
dimension of life. This discovery was the most real, healing, loving and powerful thing I had ever
experienced. From that point on, exploring consciousness and spirituality has been the focus of my
life. This process is always unfolding in both my personal and my professional life. It is an amazing
delight to be able to share the most powerful and transformative dimension of life with my clients.
I feel very blessed.
