Julie Cielo I Trauma Informed Spiritual & Somatic Healing

I help women come back home to their bodies—and rise from survival into self-led power. Do you feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually worn down?

I’m the creator of Seasonal Somatics, a cyclical, nature-based approach to healing the nervous system, and the host of The Thriving Scapegoat podcast. Hi, I’m Julie, trauma (C-PTSD), scoliosis, and autoimmune survivor turned gut health expert, child medium turned intuitive healer, Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapist (breath & hypnosis), Transformational Life Coach (shadow work & spiritual guide), Ev

olutionary Astrologer. I owned & operated Ebb & Flow Healing Arts Center in Florida for nearly 20 yrs working with many nigh net worth clients, was a panel guest speaker as the only non-MD for 3 consecutive years speaking on women's wellness, and was leading worldwide retreats for 16 yrs--all before the internet. I founded Ferm Fatale, the world’s 1st wildly-fermented zero-proof cocktail and pioneered one of the very first adult non-alcoholic beverages to hit the market and am the embodiment of resilience, reinvention, and empowerment. From the ashes of family estrangement, divorce, and attempted murder, I assure you…

I will help you reclaim the voice that has been silenced and transform your life through healing the connection of our gut, mind, and heart. Are you tired of your own BS? Do you often wonder if there’s more in life for you than what you have now? If so, it might be time to rewrite the relationship with your story… starting now!

With the mark of spring I announced my nervous system reclamation modality for women healing from CPTSD in midlife. With over 3 decades as a yogi/meditator, teacher/therapist & seasoned healing facilitator, I bring forward Seasonal Somatics™️ birthed out of deep grief after the loss of Ferm Fatale- 9 yrs I fought to bring one of the first non alcoholic drink companies to market and help forge a social revolution. During which time I became estranged from my entire family, incl the 3 half siblings I helped raise and the dog who I left my 22yr marriage + successful thriving 20 yr private practice to move across the country without a car, job nor friend 14 yrs ago after the divorce died the month I launched at Erewhon

Sometimes things happen that make you realize it’s better to cut your losses and move on, more importantly to keep moving forward.

I was devastated after putting my identity and heart on the line. It has been interesting to see who has stayed with me and who left when I didn’t fit into their role of who they needed me to be any longer.

One thing that’s remained is my fierce passion to help ppl belong, stay present, connect with themselves and the ppl around them. My WHY for Ferm Fatale was to never let anyone feel left out like I did when I was sick with autoimmune + couldn’t socially drink back in 2001. Despite never speaking about it until now, daily childhood abuse & neglect played a role in my gifts

I was inspired to start Seasonal Somatics™️ & The Thriving Scapegoat Podcast🎙️🐐 after I closed the company due to a tragedy of poor partnerships. I heard a voice inside me that was cruel. I came to realize that voice had carried me for quite awhile through abuse, divorce, estrangement, sobriety while detoxing myself from old survival patterns + the identities associated with them but here I was living with the most toxic demon—a harsh inner critic. The call was coming from inside the house! After therapy I went back in school to integrate my passions even more. I’m super ready to turn into this Solstice & the next becoming for us. 🌀☀️

I always felt like the odd one out.

Turns out, a lot of the time, I was.

Humans have deeply disappointed me after giving so much of myself in this lifetime. I’ve been misunderstood, projected upon, excluded, betrayed, and blamed for things that were never mine to carry.

And yet…

I didn’t let it harden my heart.

As a lifelong scapegoat, these are the ways I’ve returned to myself despite it all:

1. I stopped looking for belonging in places that required me to abandon myself.

2. I let nature become my refuge, my teacher, and my reminder that everything has a season.

3. I learned to sit inside the cave of my own heart and discover it was sanctuary, not exile.

4. I built capacity for discomfort instead of waiting for life to feel safe before living it.

5. I kept moving toward my vision, even when I couldn’t see the whole path.

If you’re in a dark season, wondering if you’re on the right path, questioning what happiness even means in a world that can feel disconnected and chaotic, keep going.

Safety is something we cultivate within.
Belonging begins with belonging to ourselves.
And sometimes faith is simply taking the next step when nothing makes sense yet.

The cave may feel dark, but it is also where we remember who we are.

Keep the fire burning queen. 🤍🌊✨🕯️👑

Some of us were raised to be agreeable instead of authentic and midlife gives opportunity to put your middle fingers in the air, dance freely, laugh loudly express your truth without apology.

Calling perimenopause call it peri-MEN-o-pause I get it, I too have no f***s left for anything less than

That’s nervous system healing too. Having standards. Taking up space. Using the voice you’ve suppressed out of fear of judgement for too long. Standing in your integrity, boundaries, and core values. That means choosing partners & community wisely. Paying attention to how ppl treat you before getting to know you, have access.

Personal expression becomes sacred regardless of external validation, just for the sake of being authentic. The key is to give less f***s and have what you want, keep moving, take breaks. Never stop slowing down enough to listen, soften, & surrender to divine flow more. 🌊

How much of your exhaustion is coming from carrying a version of yourself that no longer fits?

This New Moon 🌑in Ta**us is revealing where we’ve been overworking, self-abandoning, disconnecting from our bodies, and trying to survive without support. Nature’s rhythms teach us if we’re willing to listen. Spring is asking us to soften the armor, reconnect to what’s real, and remember we were never meant to heal alone.

These Seasonal Somatics™️ experiences are designed for the woman who are tired of performing strength while silently running on empty.

🌿 Saturday: 3-hour Brand Activation
🌿 Tuesday: 2-hour Spring Renewal

🔗

Expect nervous system healing, embodiment, connection, breath, movement, ritual, and a space to finally exhale with women who get it.

Peace doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from letting go of what your body was never meant to carry alone.

05/13/2026

There comes a point in healing where hyper-independence stops feeling empowering… and starts feeling exhausting.

So many women learned early that needing support wasn’t safe.

That being “low maintenance,” self-sufficient, overgiving, high-functioning, emotionally adaptable, or endlessly resilient was the way to survive.

And eventually, that survival pattern becomes an identity.

You become the woman who handles everything.
Carries everything.

Processes everything alone.

But your nervous system was never designed to heal in chronic self-protection & isolation.

At some point, the body begins asking for something deeper:

✨safe connection
✨true reciprocity
✨community
✨co-regulation
✨support that doesn’t require self-abandonment to receive it

This season of my life has been a massive threshold.

I’ve lost people. Outgrown dynamics.
Released tolerance for surface-level connection and emotional inconsistency. It can feel like ‘um, will anyone even be at my funeral if I died…like for real.’

And while that can feel lonely for a moment… I also know something new is being prepared.

That’s what Seasonal Somatics was born from.

Not perfection.
Not bypassing.
But for women who have already done deep inner work and are ready for their next level of embodiment, expansion, and aligned community beyond the superficial and for those without the trad situations.

Women who are ready to stop carrying life alone.

If this speaks to your nervous system, your season, your becoming…
you’re probably exactly who this space was created for. ✨

If you’re in LA, this week there are two SPRING events to check out:

Midlife is where the performance ends.
And the truth begins.

I created Seasonal Somatics™️ for women who are done abandoning themselves to be accepted, successful, or chosen.

If you’ve been holding it all together… this is your space to finally let go.

Live brand activation — May 16th
This isn’t something you watch.
It’s something you experience, something you feel.

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.

01/07/2026

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.
