Decades of listening deeply and offering heartfelt empathy have shown Emily the resilience and healing energy available to all people. She has raised children, started businesses, led in corporate environments, and served in spiritual communities as a lay counselor and spiritual director. Her years of experience in different arenas have taught her how to help people from all walks of life find their power and thrive where they are in body, mind, and soul.
Emily continued pursuing holistic and integrated wellness, becoming a certified Yoga instructor and Level 2 Reiki practitioner. Currently, she is studying as an advanced-level Somatic Experiencing trainee and pursuing a master’s in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Emily has experience teaching group and private yoga, in-person or distance Reiki, and Somatic Experiencing, as well as meditation and mindfulness, integration of plant medicines, breathwork, and spiritual care.
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING, SPIRITUAL DIRECTION, END OF LIFE CARE
David Juelfs, M.Div
In our work together, my goal is to provide the space, support, and guidance to help expand your capacity to move effectively through the full range of life’s joys and difficulties. It is that greater capacity that enables transformative healing and the ability to reconnect to what matters: your purpose, your loved ones, your spirituality, and yourself.
I am a doctoral student in depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute and an advanced-level Somatic Experiencing Practitioner trainee. With over 20 years of work in helping and healing arts, along with my own life experience, I bring deep compassion and understanding to my approach and practice. Whether you are facing major life transitions such as divorce or remarriage, death and loss, painful family relationships, self-doubt, addiction, loneliness, or past trauma, I know that life is rarely simple or easy.
Combining depth psychology, trauma-informed somatic work, expansive spirituality, integration with plant medicines, or mindfulness and meditation, I offer a collaborative and integrated approach to exploring what works best for you.
