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?

Nervous system healing with mind-body approaches (Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Inner Relationship Focusing)

What makes us different?
Therapy provided by PhD-level clinician, because breadth of training and years of experience do matter.
Therapeutic path that takes you beyond symptom reduction and toward embodying aliveness and purpose.
Rigor and depth: therapy which is both science-supported and soul-centered
Integrative space: a container in which all parts of you are honored—mind, body, heart and spirit—and experiences are integrated. If you’ve done therapy before and/or tried self-led practices we will help you bring it all together— so that you translate insight into action, skills into lasting transformation and knowledge into embodied change.
