Do you find yourself:

• Dealing with ongoing pain, whether from an injury, illness, or unknown cause?
• Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed?
• Struggling to heal emotionally from past trauma?
• Feeling like you’re in a rut or struggling to find direction in life?
• Desiring resolution with your past and traditional therapies are NOT cutting it?
• Seeking a more holistic and spiritual approach to your overall wellness?

Welcome, my name is Julie Kouyate. I’m so happy you landed here!

Kouyate Healing Arts is a totally unique place to explore many different healing options located right in Ann Arbor, Michigan (yet not limited to this location, as I serve my clients virtually as well). I specialize in Bodymind coaching and intuitive massage therapy techniques. I have more than 24 years of experience as a therapist in the wellness industry.

No matter what your pain points may be, Bodymind coaching and intuitive massage therapy can provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve greater physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Let’s talk.

Body centered coaching and somatic healing not only soothes your tired bones but have the power to uplift the spirit and CHANGE your life! My Bodymind coaching programs have the power to shift the mindset, create new energy around that mindset, and will actually create lasting change by using embodiment to transform our thoughts.  The word body comes before the mind in this modality because of the way we start to remember to tune into the body’s wisdom to guide and direct our choices (which live in the mind)

Choice is the key! Making empowered choices that are aligned with our body’s response for what FEELS amazing is a lost art. Mind is not the master and we shift the results in our life by flipping that line of command. We can take you from stuck, redundant patterns into ease and flow with the many healing tools I offer. Take a look at all the soulful ways we can access your highest self ranging from bodymind coaching programs, bodywork , somatic healing, transformational retreats, to group divine feminine work,  ceremonies, personal wellness days and playshops!

My name is Julie Kouyate, I am a Bodymind coach, breath worker, massage and bodyworker, dance wellness facilitator, Retreat leader, ordained minister, and group healing circle facilitator. I have been in the alternative healing and wellness industry for over 23 years now.

My skills and toolbox have only gotten sharper and more developed over time. It’s been such a gift to me to do this healing work. I sit eye-to-eye with my clients with my heart wide open to hear and share their experiences with them. My passion is in taking a person who feels defeated by life and its wild circumstances, into total peace.

“As a long-time massage client of Julie’s, she has always shown caring and concern for her client’s body and mind well-being. She often provided small bits of coaching for well-being as a part of our regular massage sessions.

When recent bouts of anxiety and panic attacks started occurring with increasing frequency, Julie suggested I utilize her body-mind coaching to learn to cope, manage and retrain thought patterns. 

I tried her “toe-dip” of 4 coaching sessions during which she provided many tools to learn to manage, cope and even befriend the anxiety. She taught how the body and mind are closely connected. Her coaching provided tools tailored for making changes to negative thought patterns and learning to manage, cope and reduce the anxiety. The coaching provided by Julie has helped immensely. 

Julie is extremely caring, nurturing, and genuinely interested in the overall health and well-being of her clients. I would highly recommend Julie’s mind-body coaching.” —Dennis
