Julie Cielo I Trauma Informed Spiritual & Somatic Healing

01/30/2026

If something in this landed in your body—not just in your mind—that’s not coincidence.

Embodiment isn’t something you learn from content. It’s something you remember through the body, with the right support.

I’ve spent decades working with the nervous systems of tens of thousands of clients, students and guests. Through seasonal cycles, trauma, and somatic repair-guiding people back into their bodies, their voice, and their lived truth.
work isn’t about fixing you. It’s about restoring rhythm, safety, and agency so your life can reorganize from the inside out.

If you’re in a season of transition, grief, awakening or rebirth—and you’re ready for grounded, relational, deeply embodied support—

I offer 1:1 somatic coaching on the westside of LA and online for those that are done bypassing and ready to live from the body forward

Many women think they’re bad at ‘resting.’

They’re not.

Their nervous systems were trained to prioritize speed over safety and put their needs aside.

Winter isn’t a productivity failure. It’s repair season.

We need to re-teach the body what safety feels like—slowly, cyclically, without rush or force.

You don’t have to forgive anyone—
especially people who never changed their behavior.

Forgiveness is often framed as a moral high ground,
but for trauma survivors it’s frequently just shame in disguise.

Anger isn’t the problem.
Suppressed anger is.

Before forgiveness, there is truth.
Before peace, there is accountability.
Before “letting go,” there is feeling what was never safe to feel.

Stop asking victims to forgive.
Start asking perpetrators to take responsibility.

That’s how shame actually ends.

There’s nothing wrong when it’s slow. You were just conditioned to think safety meant never slowing down. Reclaim your sovereignty in midlife by returning to the root of who you are.

🍁 Let what wants to go… gooooo.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s this: take action faster when my gut speaks. No more doubting—she’s never wrong.

Even the faintest old beliefs can still hold us back from our fullest joy if we let them. Right now I feel big Virgo energy—the disciplined body-master—woven with the heavy karma of 2006 that’s finally ready to clear. Like says: Reclaim what you gave away when you weren’t standing fully in your power. 👑

Not all seasons last forever. Not even summer. 🍂 And that’s the beauty—Fall teaches us how to let go.

When we name it, we tame it. 🦁 First we Release, then we Reclaim, and only then do we Realign.

Have the courage to reach higher as we sink deeper into Yin. The cosmos is holding us, urging us to grow through the darkness. 🌱

There’s something in the air (pun intended)….my Bi-weekly newsletter Cosmic Embodiment included a link to episode 2 of my new podcast ‘The Thriving Scapegoat’ …F**k all the abusive narcissists & their co-conspirators. For the first time I start to open up to why im doing the work my entire life brought me to feel so inspired to help others heal …more to come, mark my word.

In families shaped by trauma or narcissistic dynamics, one person is often cast in the role of the scapegoat. This is the family member who gets unfairly bla...

This month is about release, starting with a full lunar eclipse and full moon in Pisces Friday. Choosing peace isn’t about abandoning, it’s about re-aligning.

And the timing couldn’t be more powerful:, a cosmic portal for revolutionary change, endings, and new beginnings, a time of integration brings moments of Reclamation.

So many women who are perfectionists and people-pleasers are actually living in an old trauma response called fawn. When love felt conditional, we learned to perform, to please, to reshape ourselves just to belong. For me, that even looked like getting breast implants at 24—because I thought I had to in order to be loved.

Healing has been about clearing that survival energy, removing the blocks and restrictions created by these patterns, and reclaiming my authentic self. Reclaiming your authentic self begins with acknowledging and releasing repressed emotions.

I share the full story on my podcast, The Thriving Scapegoat. Listen now. Link in bio.

The Virgo New Moon isn’t asking us to be perfect.
It’s asking us to be honest.
Honest about what still drains our energy.
Honest about the armor we’ve been carrying.
Honest about the ways we’ve abandoned ourselves in order to belong.
For me, this lunation arrived right after my explant surgery — a literal and energetic reminder that healing often begins with removing what was never ours to carry.
If you’re feeling the urge to clear, reorganize, and come back to your body… you’re right on time.
✨ In my newsletter, I go deeper into the Virgo New Moon and how to work with this energy somatically (ritual ideas, prompts, nervous system practices).

You deserve to set intentions from a regulated, grounded place — not from survival.

May-Aug dump life lately

First pic: today before working part time doing massage at Equinox Santa Monica & then teaching breathwork at Sweat Yoga Santa Monica

Fresh back from my ancestral return where I brought my grandfathers ashes back to Calabria Italy 21 yrs after his death, fulfilling a promise. A 3 week trip to Italy I gifted myself for my 50th bday In June. 2 weeks in Tuscany, very special trip.my Airbnb host got te mayor to open city hall to show me the records of my great grandparents birth, baptism & marriage before migrating to US on a boat naturalized and took up residence in Pennsylvania, where I was born & raised. So many sacrifices for me to be an American🙏🏼

Another gift I gave to myself was after 26 yrs of implants, not my idea. Reclamation in progress…PS. I’m launching a podcast🎙️ Aug 20

My boy, , the light of my life, oh I missed him but he was in great hands

So I did this thing…I spoke for 5 days at a very renowned luxury resort about Somatic Therapy for 5 days in Mexico beginning of July before I left for 3 weeks in Italy. This is me having dinner with the founder who’s 103 yrs old and me talking to her daughter who’s also a legend. They have had this incredible location for 85 yrs!

Grateful AF. Life is funny, I keep going. Trusting my heart. Hope your summer is going great. ☀️

Are you on my newsletter? I share personal stuff + dope s**t like Somatics aligned w the lunarion cycles called Cosmic Embodiment—kink in chio⛓️‍💥

Love you,
Julie

This lunation isn’t loud… but it’s clear. It’s embodied.

It’s time to release the faded identities, roles, and obligations that kept you small—especially the ones you wear to feel accepted. Byeee self abandonment

Leo season reminded you of your truth.
Aquarius now asks:
“Can you trust that your authentic self is exactly what the collective needs?” Let me help you, is it true?

This Full Moon supports you in breaking free from outdated patterns and returning to the body as your compass.

📩 My latest newsletter goes deeper into the ritual and energetic invitation of this moon—subscribe via the link in bio to receive it. I have big news coming. Stay tuned

And if you’re ready to shed what no longer fits and reclaim your full expression, the Rewrite group program begins August 15 and 1-1 starts when you decide bb.
We begin where all true change begins: heart, mind and gut. You’re who’ve you’ve been looking for. LFG! ♒

When the manufacturer destroyed half of our inventory in the middle of an expensive rebrand 3 yrs ago I was left having to reverse engineer my own recipe if we aimed to try to get acquired after he went out of biz and took my proprietary ingredient.

Painful.

Challenging.

Lonely AF.

It felt like I delivered a stillborn that I carried for 9 yrs.

I raised almost $2M & was nationally distributed-not shabby for a 2 decade long massage & yoga therapist w zero industry experience that helped forge an entirely new category of beverage. Being first has its risks. Picking the wrong partners, lessons learned but OUCH

What I did was big. Bold. Beautiful. Then it ended.

That loss ripped the scab off all the other losses, unprocessed grief, & unresolved shame…

It also brought me back to my deepest WHY, my light in the darkness.

The shame I felt was NEVER mine to carry. Neither is it yours. Shame is way more toxic than alcohol. Are you ready to transform it into confidence, courage and CAPACITY?

It all happens in the BODY, not the mind.

The Gemini new moon is inviting us to RE-imagine our identity, claim the parts we might have given away out of chronic appeasement, plant new seeds of strength and take action on what is most important to us—regardless if you’re afraid. The universe rewards boldness.

This is your reminder to find your center. Identify your WHY. Join me Saturday 5/31 for a powerful masterclass🫶🏼either free over Zoom or In- person in Venice, CA—I’m offering both that day so everyone can take part.
