Samana Professional Training

For trailblazing therapists, coaches, healers, and lightworkers

Your training includes the somatic practices and methodologies that are unique to YOU.

Samana Professional Training supports your unique professional development as a healer, coach, empath, facilitator, or therapist. You'll develop the spiritual, somatic, and energetic tools you need to both help others and connect with your unique professional path.

While other somatic and spiritual trainings have more pedagogy and pathologizing (focusing on getting to “the problem,”) Samana Professional Training co-creates a program of study based on your holistic approach as an individual and aligned with your vision for the future. You will receive in-depth training in energy healing, somatic therapy, and imaginal practices, and then build upon these within your own cosmology, interests, and practices. The result is a powerful offering of your presence and services that is as life-changing for you as it is for those who receive your gifts. And you will have the context and skills to grow your own path with increasing ease and humor.

“Julie shines brightly with her approach, tenderness, humor, and professionalism as a somatic healer and mentor. I sought her out as a mentor for some training to increase my toolkit, but I have gained much more… her unbelievable skillset and wealth of knowledge pour out during our sessions while keeping on track. She guides and holds a space that feels deeply in alignment with my desires. I cannot say enough good things about how beautiful it is to be supported, coached, mentored, and seen by Julie.” - Amanda C.

Samana professional training brings a positive psychology approach that upholds ease and humor as essential to our individual and collective healing.


Students begin by creating a Fairy Godmother Wish List. You will describe your future self and the professional practice you would like to create. We’ll use this list as a map so you can experientially understand the somatic and energetic practices that provide the base for exploration throughout training. We’ll discuss your unique abilities and interests, then diving into a somatic and energetic journey to allow somatic intelligence, intuition, and spiritual guidance to lead the way.

Unlock your unique path.

Samana professional training is multi-dimensional and hollistic, supporting your unique development as a healer, coach, therapist or consciousness cosmonaut. Because you have a unique voice and calling, your training is designed to support you in deepening, honing, and honoring your own unique gifts.

If you are looking for a teacher, let it be the teacher within.

If you are looking for belonging, let it be the body that shows you where you belong.

If you are looking for permission, let it be ancient laughter that says, “You had it all along.”

“Working with Julie Ann has been such a healing experience. Her somatic coaching approach has allowed me to dig to the root of what my spirit and body have wrestled over. She has an honest yet gentle way of communicating that makes me feel seen, heard, and held. She's helped me visualize the situations I'm facing in a way that has allowed me to shift my energy around that topic. As an upcoming coach myself, it's been a treat to experience her work and learn from her wealth of experience and wisdom." - Lucia M.
