ABOUT ME
My name is Juli (they/them pronouns), and I am a mixed/mestize, queer femme, born amongst the sacred mountains and rivers of the Northern Andes Mountains located in so-called Colombia. I am a deep feeler, a lover, a systems thinker, and a dreamer currently living in my second home, occupied Massachusett, Wampanoag, Pongapoag, Nipmuck, and Black Liberator land (so-called Boston, Ma).
Background
I serve community as an educator, facilitator, writer, artist, restorative justice/community accountability practitioner, anti-racism, equity, and justice facilitator, certified trauma-informed yoga and meditation instructor, certified life coach, certified personal trainer, astrology student, and budding herbalist. A thread that weaves its way through the many hats I wear in community is my commitment to movements for liberation in Turtle Island (so-Called US) and in Abya Yala (so-called Central and South America) as well as my commitment to the holistic health and well-being of people of color and of our land— these are all causes that are deeply intertwined and interdependent.
I have spent many years exploring the question: what qualities, ways of being, and power structures are needed in order to create worlds that drive healing, peace, equity, and reciprocity with the land?
It is my deeply held belief that the primary reason we are on this planet is to experience love and connection with one another. Relationships are the very essence of life, of who we are, and we are all deserving of relationships that are life-affirming, love filled, and healing centered. For most, if not all of us, due to the fundamental ways in which we are in a crisis of disconnection from the land, we have also lost touch with the ways that we are disconnected from one another.
I hold onto the deep belief that our bodies are our compasses for alignment with our wiser selves, with those parts of us that are of this land, tapped into the magic and wisdom of our ancestors and all of our relations. It is my passion to support others in cultivating that sense of connection to their own bodies so that they may experience and loving relationships in all of their profundities and transformational capacities.
I am a big believer that our bodies are the roadmaps we need to align ourselves with a healthier, more loving, more interdependent way of living on a personal, communal, and systemic level
My healing stance calls that I lead from the wisdom of my heart and my body, and I strive to live a life that honors the messages that exist there for me. I am certain that the practice of freedom for me is just that— one where I honor my practice of awareness of my body and seek to cultivate a sense of alignment that is felt on the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental levels of my body.
I would love to get to work with you and explore how we might collaborate in service of your wellness and healing work.
