Archetype/Shadow Work
"So these patterns I keep repeating - they're not really me?"
No. Your shadows can convince you:
"This is who I am."
These patterns served you once—now they are in the way of who you're becoming.
Awaken Your Capacity for Healing, Strength & Joy.
Integrative Energy Work & Pilates-Based Movement
Remember who you were
before the world told you
who to be
Feel a renewed sense of freedom &
alignment with who you truly are.
Shadows are hidden parts of yourself— reactions, fears, beliefs, and behaviors you learned along the way in order to survive or cope.
They run quietly in the background, limiting what you allow yourself to experience, keeping you from your full potential. They might make it hard to accept love, or block success. You didn't choose them consciously, but often run your life from behind the scenes, creating self-sabotage, repeating patterns, and keeping you from feeling truly free.
They developed from what you experienced, what you were told about yourself, what you had to do to stay safe or get your needs met.
Your shadows can convince you that "this is just who I am." But they are patterns that served you once—perhaps even kept you safe as a child or helped you survive difficult circumstances.
Now they're in the way of who you're becoming.
“I have gone through the deepest darkness… and I believe that I made it, because I got the best help that one could possibly have on earth.
Julie is one of the mentors who really helped me especially to get through the hardest part of my journey. My path would have not been the same without her, so I am forever grateful and really lucky to have her as a mentor..
Julie does this work with 100% dedication and with a huge heart that she has. She is highly talented and open hearted, and her intuition and insights have helped me a lot on my spiritual journey. ” ❤️

“I thank Julie for helping me to identify the shadows in my archetypes, neutralizing the energies to become the best version of myself.”
Victoria, Greater Accra Region, Ghana
“Working with Julie has been one of the most profound experiences of my personal and spiritual journey….
The healing that unfolded was deep, powerful, and liberating—like light breaking through layers of shadow I didn't even realize I was still carrying.”
Samantha, Cayman Islands
My Approach:
Shadow as Teacher
I approach shadow work from compassion, not shame. Your shadow isn't something to battle—it's a messenger showing you exactly where healing is needed.
When you feel reactive, drained, or stuck, your shadow is pointing to patterns that are ready to transform.
This shift in perspective changes everything. The work becomes collaborative rather than combative.
“Julie’s thoughtful facilitation encouraged meaningful reflection and personal growth, helping me connect more deeply with my own purpose and path. I left feeling empowered, centered, and grateful for the wisdom she shared.”
Young Wha, Anaheim, CA
Archetypes have life affirming qualities
The difference between struggle and ease comes down to which side of the Archetype you are expressing.
Each archetype has both shadow characteristics and life-affirming qualities.
The same archetype that creates struggle when expressed as shadow, can become a source of strength, ease, and joy when you learn to operate from its beneficial side.
For example, the Servant archetype:
Shadow side:
You may feel like a slave—unappreciated, taken for granted, unseen. The work drains you. Your body holds tension and stress. You feel resentful, exhausted, depleted.
Beneficial side:
You serve from compassion and unconditional love. You see yourself not as servant to another person, but as a servant of your ideals, your heart, or the divine qualities you embody. The work flows with ease. You feel energized, grateful, purposeful. Your body feels light and stress dissolves.
“The archetype/shadow work with Julie was very healing for me. Julie's voice was calming and her instructions were great.
I recalled people that I hadn't thought of in years. I connected those people with situations that I had buried. It was very healing and beneficial for me in my journey, thank God!”

These patterns offer gifts of compassion & transformation
Whatever surfaces is a gift, an understanding & insight to help you move forward, live more freely & be more fully your true self.
We work with the universal archetypes to understand which shadows are active in your life, and how they're influencing your choices, reactions, and sense of self.
This isn't about labeling or diagnosis—it's about illumination and release.
I coach you to connect with your higher wisdom, higher self, your subconscious, where instead of analyzing the pattern—you learn from it: Why this pattern exists, what has it been protecting, and how to transform it.
Through this guided work, you can discover how the shadow has been affecting you, what valuable lessons can teach you, and how to shift into the beneficial expression that serves who you are becoming. There's no shame in what you find, only opportunity for release and transformation.
Welcome back your true self
There is a space between what happened in your life & how you lived it. The depth of insights & release experienced depends on one’s receptivity to shift perspective into that middle space.
How we work together
The depth of insights & release experienced greatly depends on one’s readiness and receptivity for a perspective shift.
We meet via video call. The first session is scheduled for 1.5 hours, each subsequent session is 1 hour.
This Is Multi-Session Work
Archetype/Shadow work isn't a one-time session. It addresses patterns that have most likely been with you for years, perhaps decades. This is deep, foundational work that deserves the time it needs.
Each session builds on the last, deepening your awareness, strengthening your ability to shift, and integrating the beneficial expression of each archetype.
What makes this work effective is being able to step above and separate yourself from the pain and emotions of how past experiences affected you — and look at the situation for the opportunities it offers for learning and personal growth.
Some find it helpful to begin with the Integrative Method which takes you to the same place, with a gentler start. For some, movement and somatic release can help make space for deeper connection to the higher self or subconscious.
All sessions are conducted remotely
You're in your own safe space, in complete control of your environment. You choose whether to be on camera and what you share. Your privacy is honored.
