Julie Jewels Smoot

The Space After Holding is a thoughtful ambient album created for therapists, counselors, social workers, coaches, healthcare professionals, and anyone whose work involves holding space for others. Rather than focusing on productivity or performance, the album gently acknowledges the often-overlooked transition that occurs after a day of deep listening and emotional presence.

One of the defining characteristics of Julie Jewels Smoot's work is her trauma-informed approach. Her recordings are created with the understanding that every listener brings unique experiences to the music. Rather than directing emotions or requiring a specific response, the music invites listeners to engage in whatever way feels supportive. There is no pressure to meditate, relax, or process emotions in a prescribed way.
