Meet Juna
Hi, I'm Juna
I've spent over 15 years helping people find their way back to themselves. Not the self they perform for others, but the real one, the one that knows things, feels things, and has been waiting patiently under all the noise.
I'm a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, an intuitive, and a coach. My sessions tend to be equal parts grounded and surprising. People often leave feeling more like themselves than they have in years.
The long road home
When I started working as an intuitive in 2005, I could connect easily to energy, spirit, and the other side. But something kept nagging at me. I was missing the body. Missing emotion. Missing the messy, specific, human part of the equation.
So I left the purely spiritual world for a while and dove into the body instead. Somatic Experiencing. Trauma. Nervous system regulation. Internal Family Systems. Mindfulness. I learned how to feel anger without drowning in it. How to allow grief to move all the way through. How to hold someone in the middle of something they couldn't yet name. How to help people meet the parts of themselves they'd exiled.
What I found is that real healing lives at the intersection: spirit and body, intuition and emotion, the sacred and the ordinary. Neither half works without the other.
I have a passion for bridging worlds...
Bridging our spiritual selves with our grounded,
embodied and sometimes messy
human experience
My Work Today
Sessions with me are hard to categorize, which I've made peace with. We might work with a part of you that formed when you were seven. We might track a sensation in your chest until it tells you what it knows. We might hear from someone you've lost. It goes where it needs to go.
What individuals and couples bring me: old trauma that hasn't shifted with talk therapy alone. Intuition they've been trained to doubt. Relationships that need more honesty than they currently have. A life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow. A sense of something calling them forward that they haven't yet said yes to.
The thread through all of it is the same. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are not too late. And most importantly, you are worthy of love.
Training & Experience
I completed the Somatic Experiencing Institute’s 3-year professional training in trauma resolution.
I am a graduate of the Hendricks Institute’s 2-year Leadership & Transformation program, and a certified Big Leap Coach.
In addition, I trained with the Co-Active Training Institute, completed the Spirit Coach® certification, and am also an IFS-informed practitioner (Internal Family Systems).
Beyond my private practice, I’ve worked as an executive coach, mindfulness trainer, and corporate facilitator with organizations such as The People Piece and Abroad.io, supporting leaders across industries on emotional intelligence, communication, and authentic leadership.

Juna is my go to resource anytime I’m feeling stuck, lost and thrown off balance by life’s challenges. I’m pretty darn picky when it comes to who I rely on for guidance, as I can often feel pushed by a practitioner’s agenda. Juna offers a wonderful balance between precision guidance, direction and clarity, and a sweet, heart-full holding space to help my process unfold in the presence of love. I consistently leave my sessions with Juna feeling more grounded, clear, uplifted and empowered. I can’t think of anyone I wouldn’t recommend Juna to. She is that awesome.

I've been blessed to have worked with Juna for 5 years and I can confidently say that Juna has been one of the biggest forces of healing in my life. Before working with Juna I was lost in the throws of a messy, toxic breakup. After my first session with Juna I instantly felt more connected, clear, empowered, and truly transformed. Thanks to Juna's incredible support, my life is now blooming with healthy, vibrant relationships, fulfilling work, and a sense of trust and empowerment in every area of my life . Juna's unique blend of powerful coaching skills, crystal clear intuitive gifts, trauma healing tools, and unconditional LOVE is rare on this planet. She is an absolute gem and true gift in my life. If you have a chance to work with Juna in any capacity, DO IT (seriously). I can't recommend her highly enough.

Over the years I had tried so many things to help with my health issues, fears, and blocks. I had lost trust in the ability of different practitioners to really help me. What Juna does for me instills hope and faith that you can see things truly change and get better. I look forward to her sessions like I would be visiting a great friend or having piece of my favorite cake. Yes, the work is hard sometimes, we laugh and cry, but at the end I feel deeply satisfied in that I have again made great strides towards becoming the person I feel I truly am. I am truly in awe of Juna and her abilities and so grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her.
