About Me

My name is Julia Rubin, and I guide people back to their bodies, back to their feelings, back to life.

I know what it means to be completely disconnected from yourself. I lived through years of sex work and drug addiction—years where my body was something I had to escape from, not live in. I survived by numbing, by dissociating, by being anywhere but present in my own skin.

Recovery wasn’t just about getting clean. It was about learning to feel again. Learning that my body wasn’t my enemy. Learning that the shame, the trauma, the pain I carried—all of it was stored in my tissues, waiting to be acknowledged and released.

That’s when I discovered somatic work. Not as a therapist first, but as someone desperately trying to heal. I learned that the body remembers everything we’ve tried to forget. And I learned that the same body that holds our trauma also holds our path to freedom.

Why I Do This Work

I work with people who know what it’s like to be strangers in their own bodies. People carrying shame, trauma, or years of survival strategies that once protected them but now keep them locked away from life.

I specialize in working with:

• Women with experience in sex work
• People in recovery from addiction
• Anyone healing from trauma and disconnection
• Those ready to stop running and start feeling

I don’t work from theory alone. I work from lived experience. I know the territory. I know how hard it is to trust your body again. And I know it’s possible.

My Approach

Through somatic inquiry, we work with what your body is holding—the emotions you’ve repressed, the stories trapped in your muscles, the breath you’ve been holding for years. This isn’t talk therapy. This is about feeling, moving, releasing, and reclaiming the home you were born in: your body.

You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be felt. You need to be welcomed back.
