FIND HOME WITHIN YOU

When you take the time to step away from the demands of your day-to-day routine, you create space to listen to the knowledge of your mind, body, and spirit.

When you learn how to listen to the communication of your own inner healer, you learn your unique recipe to create a “home” within yourself.

What to expect on this 4-day retreat:

Experience a feeling of safety, HOMEostasis, in your body so you understand the destination to return to when feeling out of balance.   

  • Listen to the language of your nervous system and identify your individual cues for safety and danger to recognize the terrain and roadmap of how to return home to yourself.  

  • Learn the physiology and neurobiology of the stress response system so you know how to partner with your own body to work for you, not against you. 

  • Create a personalized wellness plan that is unique to what your nervous system needs to tap into your unique power.

  • Feel the safety of a regulated nervous system and the symbiotic experience within a regulated community because connection is medicine.

THE FORMULA:
Nervous system regulation through
hot - cold - reset - stretch - connect

  • Experience the power of an ancient indigenous ritual from a local curandera that challenges the edges of what we believe we can do. This traditional steam lodge will cleanse, detox, and empower yourself.

  • Increase your ability to go from an activated nervous system to one at rest. Cold exposure is both a healthy stress and an opportunity for regulating our nervous system, by not just increasing our window of tolerance, but also by increasing our capacity for joy in stressful situations.

  • Challenge the programming that is currently running your life. Psilocybin creates flexibility (neuroplasticity) in our patterns of being so that we can create new paradigms that reflect the life we want to create.

  • Participate in powerful embodiment practices to quiet your mind and full embody the present moment. Find equilibrium between your breath and body. There will be morning guided yoga practices with the opportunity to practice anytime on the yoga deck that overlooks the ocean. The practice will range from restorative to vinyasa to gently wake up your body at all levels.

  • Humans need each other to feel heard and seen and supported. This is an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are ready to do the work and take action on their own healing and nervous system regulation, and to extend that to each other. In a group of regulated bodies an energy of co-regulation is created, and we become the medicine.

Self-care is your primary healthcare. Step away from the hustle of your daily life and find a home within yourself.

What People Are Saying About The Retreat

  • "Professionally, I'm showing up for my clients from a centered place in my being/body that allows my nervous system to reach theirs in a new way. I'm feeling 'the calling' of my work as I have at a handful of times in the past but not in a while. My creativity in my interventions has expanded, and I'm encouraging and guiding my clients to connect with their physical selves more."

    –– Ted Layman, LCSW

  • "I am still carrying the weekend with me almost 3 weeks later. I am dedicating more time to myself in a quiet, intentional and spiritual space. I have tapped back into practice and parts of myself that got lost along the way of living."

    –– Jenni Costello, LCSW, RN

  • “It was transformative and wonderful. Julianne and the people she brought in were all fantastic and brought in an energy that was so valuable. I loved every bit of it, even the parts that were super uncomfortable."

    –– Holly Gonzales, LCSW

I Know What it’s Like…

To feel overwhelmed, overworked, burnt out, and in a place where you are reacting to what comes your way and trying to keep up with life. Your plate is full and any thoughts of self-care are pushed to tomorrow, hoping you’ll feel caught up or have the energy. You’re tired and struggle to implement changes in your spare time because you are paralyzed by indecision.  You are unsure where to start caring for yourself due to the overwhelm of options and opinions. Or, maybe you have some ideas, but you struggle with implementing them. 

ABOUT JULIANNE

As a social worker, I experienced intense burnout and vicarious trauma after investigating child abuse for 8 years. 

During my own personal healing journey, I became certified as a yoga teacher, and shamanic breathwork facilitator, and received a certification in nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health and psychedelic psychotherapy.

Over the past decade, my healing journey has focused on understanding the nervous system, increasing joy, and finding compassion for my own trauma narrative. 

In the last 5 years, I’ve been teaching trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and holistic wellness strategies for creating HOMEostasis in the body. 

I train social workers, therapists, medical staff, and other frontline workers on prevention and interventions for vicarious trauma and burnout.  I guide psychedelic psychotherapy and integration sessions and have a deep respect for plant wisdom.  I believe deeply in the medicine of human connection to bring us back to ourselves and each other. I enjoy dancing, music, surfing, yoga, writing, and travel, and believe my life is my self-care. 

I’m a holistic trauma therapist, educator, and speaker, trained in somatic approaches to healing the mind and body. With a master's degree in social work and a clinical license for psychotherapy focused on attachment and trauma. My passion is bringing healing to those who are overburned by caring for others.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH ME

Testimonials

  • "Working with Julianne felt like coming home to myself, the best parts of myself. I've gained an embodied belief that I am not a broken person. On the contrary, I am someone capable of healing and harnessing the expansiveness of my experiences with love and admiration. Integrating them into my story without them being my story. During a tumultuous and incredibly stressful year, I experienced with Julianne a safe space of tenderness, light, humor, wisdom, human connection, and above all compassion. Julianne has enough hope in the planet and people's capacity for change and healing that it is contagious and impossible not to believe in too."

    - PREVIOUS CLIENT

  • "Great education and ideas about self-care and vicarious trauma. The language you used around “discharging trauma” and finding ways to do so really stuck with me. Also, the idea of creating a buffer between what we hear and what we absorb. Also, thinking about our activated nervous system as the way our body is protecting us from the “version of the world we have been exposed to.” Really great ways to think about vicarious trauma."

    -KAREN

  • "I so thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your training- so full of relevant and accessible information and guidance which offered much by way of food for thought and tangible tools. I also must say how moved I was by your sharing your personal experiences of trauma, illuminating that which resonated a great deal about historical and intergenerational trauma. You did so in a way that allowed each person to be drawn into how powerful our life narratives are and how it has implications for our work, its impact, and our resilience. You have no doubt made a world of a difference for all those who had the benefit of listening to and learning from you."

    -JANET

“When your bones are tired of carrying everyone else’s problems, and when your lungs are tired of breathing life into other people, return back home to yourself for a while. Shift your energy back inwards. Reunite with peace again.”

-Billy Chapata
