Integrative somatic therapy for healing, nervous system support, deepening connection & expanding into your true purpose

When we build a foundation of safety and compassion inside-an inner refuge-what is possible for us in our life expands beyond what we ever imagined. Take the Embodied Way.

About

Hello, I’m Dr. Julia Kaplinska. I am a somatic psychologist, trauma-expert, and intuition guide. I’m trained as a yoga teacher. My practice is science-supported and soul-centered. I specialize in working with:

  • Survivors of childhood trauma coping with PTSD and Complex-PTSD

  • Therapists, healers and health service providers-or those in training to become one

  • Deep feelers, highly sensitive people, seekers and artists

Therapy at Embodied Way helps you restore a sense of safety, regulate your nervous system, and deepen self-trust.

If you’re struggling with the weight of past trauma—whether from childhood, relationships, or overwhelming experiences— professional burnout, ongoing anxiety, or a sense of disconnection from yourself, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode — overwhelmed by stress, emotions, or physical symptoms that just won’t resolve. At Embodied Way I provide trauma-informed, somatic therapy to help you find steadiness, relief, and lasting healing. I offer integrative methods that help you:

  • calm your nervous system

  • develop new skills

  • update old entrenched patterns

  • find presence, wholeness and vitality

  • improve relationships

  • sharpen intuition

  • increase clarity & access to your inner compass

I integrate cutting edge therapeutic methods: Somatic Experiencing®, AEDP, focusing and attachment-based therapy to help you move from overwhelm to regulation, from disconnection to connection.
Grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, yoga, and depth psychology, our work restores safety, resilience, and aliveness.

While my work is grounded in the best of psychological research and evidence-based methods, it is also deeply human, embodied, and soul-centered. Healing isn’t just about reducing symptoms — it’s about restoring trust in yourself, reconnecting with your intuition, and creating an inner refuge where body, mind, and spirit can thrive together.

Are you ready for deeper healing that takes you toward vitality, satisfying connection with others and alignment with your purpose?

  • Other therapists looking for spacious and skillful holding to process your own experiences, tend to burnout, or receive integrated professional consultation

  • Relational therapy (AEDP, attachment-based care)

  • Step-by-step gentle and paced support to reconnect with body, mind and relationships

  • Depth-oriented exploration: archetypal, existential, and transpersonal framework

  • Therapy for the therapist - skilled support and consultation for helpers and healers
