About

Hello, I’m My name is Julie Kouyate

My passion is in taking a person who feels defeated by life and its wild circumstances, into total peace. They are reminded of connecting to the present moment and their sacred nature.

I have a diploma from Irene’s myomassology institute and been in the wellness industry doing healing work for over 24 years. I am Master Bodymind coach, and am certified in Breathwork.  I hold an Ordained ministry title to officiate ceremonies of all kinds as well. I am a dance teacher and Women’s wellness Retreat visionary and leader.

Most of my experience is in the field and I have worked on thousands of bodies in my career as a successful private practice therapist.

 So many factors contribute to the need for the type of nurturing care I offer. Emotional issues, the overall dissatisfaction people have with their current health care options, how stress evolves into the tissues and stays there, pain, body postures and attitudes about life, depressive states, and even cancer in the body are all reasons why people land in my healing den. They are searching for something deeper and VERY different in their healing experience.

When I found the Bodymind coaching method and realized that I was merely enabling my clients to continue living in some of the same behavioral patterns that created chronic pain and injuries in the first place with a “massage only” approach. 

We CHANGE neurons and the mindset through this process, which changes the body and the emotional state. Affirmations and positive thinking don’t work without consistent embodiment work towards that desired change. The embodiment segments of a coaching session can range from intuitive visions, energy work, meditations, movement, voice, and song work, feeling into the energy of the emotions more deeply, massage, to visualizations.

I offer a program structure using In person healing sessions along with modules, pdfs, slideshows, personalized action plans, and intuited exercises to bring the subconscious programs to the forefront of  awareness.  I believe in the body, its messages, and its potential to heal. The body is always working towards equilibrium and works miraculously to heal the system…..bottom line is the BODY KNOWS THE WAY!

“Julie possesses unique healing abilities and wisdom that guided her to help me identify and move past obstacles in life preventing me from living a more content and peaceful life.” —Christine

It must be felt to be understood

Our potential to heal and lead joyful lives that are free from excessive suffering is real and true.

We can use the body to direct and guide our understanding of where our blocks are, and then show us the way into fulfillment as a sensation we can FEEL!

 We are sensing beings in an age of information where decision-making has become a logical experience rather than a body-centered knowing.

Embodiment means just that….. The act of being IN BODY.  We work to make connections between what our emotions are and our body’s “holdings” of these emotions.

I have built a strong heart-frequency business that serves the deepest needs that we humans face today…. soul nourishment and true, lasting healing. 

My work is nothing to explain, it’s to be FELT to be understood. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to do this sacred work of the divine. I fully offer my hands and heart to my clients to bring about the best healing experience that comes for them.

In love and light, JULIE

“I have sought out Julie for her exceptional skills as a African dance teacher, massage therapist and ceremonial retreat leader. 

When she trained in her new offering, BioDynamic Breath and Trauma Release, i was intrigued and enthusiastically signed up to experience her latest endeavor in her devotion to the healing arts.  It is simple, profound and effective! And Julie is an incredible guide through each step of focused breath work, movement, supportive touch, surprising emotional release and coming in for a meditative landing for integration. 

I highly recommend exploring this - you will receive the culmination of all of Julie’s gifts in these sessions and a powerful and efficient path to release and integrate trauma. ”
