"Working with Julie Ann leaves me feeling energetically alive and somatically attuned. Their unique skillset and sense of humor create a potent space for healing which allows me to rest in ease and remember what my body, on some level, already knows. If you're looking for a guide who is clear, honest, skilled & compassionate, I highly recommend them!"
Bridging the 5D and 3D
Julie Ann founded Samana Healing in 2014 with the mission of empowering people to radically change their reality. “Ease. for. every. body.” has been the message they have brought forth in their teachings and healings. As our planetary transformation unweaves the spells of domination and separateness, Julie Ann offers expert guidance in unwiring old systems from our individual experience and in relationship. They teach a broad toolkit of practices including energy healing, shamanic journeying, creative visualization, meditation, applied metaphysics, and somatic therapy. In addition to their therapeutic work with individuals and couples, Julie Ann offers a two-year training for healers, coaches, and therapists who wish to deepen and broaden their energetic and somatic toolkits.

“By working with with Julie Ann, I turned up the dial on embodying delight, spiritual confidence, inner attunement, and courage, and redefined what work, leadership, service, and healing means to me.”
Exploring The Creative, Ecstatic Body
Julie Ann brings to their practice 20 years of experience in Buddhist psychology, vipassana and metta meditation practices, creative practice, and body-mind integration work. Their ecstatic spiritual awakening in 2011 and the subsequent unfolding of their life’s work have given them first-hand evidence of our collective spiritual guidance as we heal ourselves and our planet. Julie Ann is grateful for their remarkable teachers around the globe including Seven Stones Leadership, the Focusing Institute, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Insight Meditation Society, Cambridge Insight Meditation Center, the Contemplative Dance Community, and Dell'Arte International. A staunch advocate for the healing power of somatic exploration and healing through art, Julie Ann has created art installations for the Institute for Contemporary Art Boston, Boston Center for the Arts, the American Repertory Theater, the City of Boston, and Harvard University. They have also published three volumes of poetry and performed at poetry festivals in Mexico, Honduras, Peru, and the United States.
