“After a recent session with Julie, I was taken back by her ability to one, connect with how I was feeling (without even telling her), and two, connect my emotions to physical parts of my body that were in pain. Once I released the emotion with her, the pain seemed to shift. I also became so much more aware of the impact my thoughts, beliefs and emotions were having on my physical health. Julie’s insight and ability to make these mind/body connections have been extremely helpful in my healing process. Thank you, Julie!”
“You were so spot on with everything…You addressed [one of my main concerns] within the first few minutes and my whole body just went ‘I’ve been waiting for this’!
You were so gentle…too, thank you so much.
I realized I didn’t even ask if it would be helpful to know some of what had been going on with my body before the session, apologies! You obviously didn’t need it though…thank you as well for just explaining every stage of the session!! It’s so interesting and helps really acknowledge that these are real things going on when someone else points them out.”
About Julie Gentry
Julie Gentry’s transformational sessions integrate somatic, emotional, mental, behavioral and unconscious levels to meet clients exactly where they are with the approach that works best for them, whether they have personal or professional goals. This is a natural evolution of Julie’s work over the last eighteen years. Her aim has always been to serve her clients in empowering themselves to tap into their own wisdom to create and live the lives they desire.
Julie has completed certifications in coaching through The Institute of Coaching Mastery and Creative Mind Jungian Coaching. She is a Certified BodyTalk™ Practitioner, a certified Red Hat Lineage Qigong practitioner and a certified Soul Motion™ conscious dance facilitator.

A life-long learner, Julie has studied many other forms of energy medicine, as well as psychology, massage therapy, art and dance.
Integrity, being both truthful and kind and “walking the talk” are core values for Julie. She has implemented the skills she’s learned throughout her adult life and in navigating most of the challenging human experiences—healing from childhood trauma, raising her own children, divorce, the death of both parents, career changes, times of great loss and uncertainty and more while still keeping an open and supple heart and a deep desire to serve others as they walk through their own times of challenge, growth and change .
There is a common thread running through all of Julie’s offerings. Her philosophy is that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience and that to live life to the fullest, body, mind and spirit must be aligned and functioning in concert. She has seen that by being fully present and listening deeply, we can gently bring to light the hidden thoughts, beliefs and emotions that impact our state of well-being and our feelings of success and satisfaction. Each of Julie’s modalities creates an opportunity for an individual to access their own deep wisdom, to embody and express their unique gifts, talents and creative impulses and to accept and integrate all parts of themselves into a beautiful whole. For Julie, coming into wholeness (to heal) is the path to true peace, joy and fulfillment, no matter what life brings.
Regardless of the modality used, Julie’s approach to working with others on their path to wholeness is best summed up by a quote by the poet, author and teacher, David Whyte (from his book Consolations).
Whyte states regarding the nature of true friends or sustained relationships that the ultimate touchstone is not improvement of one’s self or the other, rather,
“…the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone.”
