Somatic Movement Therapy
In a time where lots changed and I needed to adapt, Juliette helped me drop into my body and honour the shifts that were happening. I’ve come back to these sessions every now and then when I need a touch stone, a place to breathe, and value Juliette’s wisdom and insights immensely.

Working with Juliette has helped me to let myself access a sense of safety that I’ve gone without for a long time. The work has been profound and the experience is unlike any other therapy I’ve done before. I continue to be grateful for our time and the learning that comes from it.

The Four Shields: Wilderness rites
The four shields container has been such a deeply nourishing and insightful place to journey within and around the wheel it offers with an open, generous palm. It has been the perfect cocoon of community and council to usher me into new ways of seeing and being in relationship to life. The wisdom here is timeless, and is grounded in both depth and joyful connection.

It is depth work, for sure. Serious sacred stuff. But somehow silly, light-hearted and glowing with laughter

Juliette has been an integral part of my healing journey. Her ability to hold space for the unfoldings of my inner world, my vulnerabilities and strength is hard to put into words. I have held onto anger and resentment for so long and it is with Juliette's tender care and guidance that I have been able to release these holdings and find space for even more care and compassion towards myself (and by extension humanity and the people I work with). This has allowed a greater sense of purpose, possibility and aliveness; to experience this human life in a deeper, intentional and more satisfying way than what I ever imagined possible.

Over the time I have been working with Juliette, I have felt a genuine inner transformation. It sounds cliche as I type those words, but I am filled with gratitude and contentment knowing that those words are true. I set out with an intention to more comfortably coexist with trauma, and words don’t quite convey how meaningful manifesting that intention feels.

Juliette’s craft-full, playful and generous guidance into these ancient traditions has oiled the wheel inside me. I’m now turning. Composting. I’m new and familiar, some 2 million years old and the fresh eyes truly seeing the rising sun for the first time. I’m remembering I am (because we are) the generator of ceremony. I am the one walking out into the night and the village fire waiting, listening with soft fascination for the story new to be told.

I feel so grateful to have been part of Juliette’s first Four Shields council. I wasn’t sure what to expect, exploring wisdom of the elements in an online course seemed counter intuitive at first! But our sessions transported me far away from the screen into my body and environment. Over the course of six weeks, 6 strangers became pillars of trust. I learned to find magic in everyday places, practiced the art of storytelling, laughed, cried a little, danced silly dances, reconnected with old stories in new ways, dug far beneath the surface and deepened a curiosity to quest. An unforgettable experience, I would recommend it to anyone who feels the call!

I have invested so much time, energy and money into a number of different professionals through the mainstream system and always leave feeling so defeated. Feeling misunderstood, like I was broken, or like I was just a pay check. And then there’s Juliette. No practitioner has been able to support me the way Juliette so effortlessly does.
Jessie
I didn’t know what to expect when I started working with Juliette, this is the only style of therapy I have tried. Juliette helped me feel comfortable from the first session. Over time working with Juliette I learnt that feelings aren’t so scary after all, heck they might even be helpful. I can genuinely say my relationships are improving and I feel more at peace in my life. I’m glad I have someone I can talk to who helps me stay on track.

The Four Shields is simply a deeply wise and well-crafted journey. Juliette creates a wonderfully participatory and decentralized structure (there is a structure!) which I found to be liberating for us all and incredibly permission-giving. It’s a learning/unlearning around ways to be in ceremony and relationship with the self through the changing phases of life. It’s a way of relating to land and each other with incredible and surprising generosity where giving and receving feel unanimous. I received so much and was delightfully invited to give much in return, which felt so easy and right—it should be like that. I'm grateful for all we shared in learning what it means to see and be seen through they eyes of the most loving witnesses.
