About Julie

I create listening spaces grounded in sound, silence, and respect for the nervous system.
My work is shaped by lived experience, deep listening, and a belief that nothing is required for healing to begin.

This music is offered as companionship — something to meet in your own time and way.

About the Work

My work is grounded in listening rather than instruction.

​

I create trauma-informed guided listening and sound experiences for people who need space instead of direction, and presence instead of pressure. This work is intentionally non-directive, consent-based, and clear about its scope.

​

I live with complex post-traumatic stress and chronic pain. These are ongoing realities, not experiences I have “moved past,” and they directly shape how I approach sound. Over time, I learned that many wellness and healing spaces—even well-intentioned ones—often ask the nervous system to perform: to relax, regulate, release, heal, or improve.

​

For bodies shaped by trauma or chronic pain, those demands can be overwhelming or counterproductive.

This work exists because sound was one of the few things that could be present with me without asking anything in return.

What I Mean by Sound Alchemy

​

I use the term sound alchemist to describe a listening-centered relationship with sound—one that emphasizes coexistence rather than intervention.

​

My work does not aim to fix, activate, align, or move people toward a particular outcome. Instead, it offers sound that can remain nearby while the body does what it needs to do in its own time.

​

There is no requirement to focus, visualize, breathe in a certain way, or participate actively. Listening can be close, distant, or intermittent. Pausing, stopping, or stepping away is always allowed.

​

Trauma-Informed by Design

​

Trauma-informed does not mean gentle music alone.
It means respecting autonomy, pacing, and nervous system variability.

​

That is why my offerings:

• Are non-directive and choice-based

• Avoid promises of healing or regulation

• Do not require participation or attention

• Clearly state what is and is not included

• Are offered as listening experiences, not treatment

My work is not therapy, coaching, or medical care, and it is not presented as a substitute for those supports.

​

How the Work Is Offered

​

Most of my offerings are pre-recorded guided listening experiences or original sound recordings, clearly described in advance so listeners know exactly what they are purchasing.

​

Some work is available publicly through streaming platforms for people who want to explore my sound before engaging further. Private listening sessions and paid offerings are intentionally structured with clear boundaries to protect both the listener and the work itself.

​

Who This Work Is For

​

This work may be supportive for people who:

• Live with trauma, chronic pain, or nervous system sensitivity

• Feel overwhelmed by traditional meditation or wellness practices

• Are tired of being asked to “try harder” or “fix themselves”

• Want sound to be present without expectation

• ​

Who This Work Is Not For

​

This work may not be a good fit if you are looking for:

• Live facilitation or real-time interaction

• Coaching, processing, or feedback

• Guaranteed outcomes or transformation

• Clinical treatment or diagnosis

A Note on Consent and Clarity

​

Clarity is a form of care.

​

Each offering is intentionally described so you can decide whether it meets your needs. You are never required to engage beyond what feels supportive, and you are encouraged to choose the type of support that is right for you.

​

If this approach resonates, you are welcome here.

​

If it does not, I respect your decision to seek something different.
