About Julia Kyambi

Hi, I’m Julia

I offer intuitive somatic depth and soul work for deep-feeling, soulful humans who are longing to feel more whole.

I’m not here to give you formulas or external solutions. I’m your companion in depth and space-holder — here in service of helping you open the doors to your own inner wisdom and deeper truth — and release the blocks that keep you disconnected from your essence: who you truly are beneath stories, conditioned beliefs, and protective patterns.

So you can feel free inside to live your life fully, your way.

This is not something you think your way into. It’s something you begin to feel again, in an embodied way.

For me, this is a path of sacred growth and inner homecoming.

My Qualifications and Explorations

My path led me out of clinical medicine over 20 years ago. What began as a search for deeper professional meaning became a long journey of inner transformation and reconnection. This has gifted me an extensive background that now informs my work.

My story

  • I was born into German-Kenyan lineages. I grew up in different systems and countries, and moved between them from an early age. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that I actually lived more in the spaces in between.

    From early on, I learned how to adapt — to navigate between different systems, expectations, and social codes.

    My work today emerged from my own long journey home. I now like to call it sacred growth and rewilding on a journey of inner homecoming because that is what it has felt like to me and those I have walked beside — when we become present to ourselves, uproot limiting beliefs & patterns about ourselves, ground in the wisdom of the body, connect to our feeling hearts, and embrace our whole selves as part of the sacred web of life.

Why I do what I do

Deep wisdom and the power of transformation naturally flow beyond what the
rational mind alone can grasp

When you reconnect with this wisdom and let it weave back into your life — through body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit — you begin to feel more free, guided, knowing and anchored within yourself, and your deeper truth.

There is no one way of doing this, only your unique way.

I’m here to support you on that path of reconnection

The ‘me’ behind the scenes

A few fun facts

  • My sentences often dance between between English, German and the non-verbal. You’ll also often find me talking to myself — quite loudly, the older I get — in all three.

  • I love cooking and baking. Baking has been with me since childhood, and it still begins the same way: with a craving for cookie or cake dough. I bake because I want the dough, not the cake.

  • I love cold swimming — my soul feels at home in mountain lakes and rivers, with creeks and boulders and that alive, icy water. I also love the ocean, but if I had to choose, my true dream home is with a spacious view, near trees, gorges, and cold mountain lakes & streams.

  • I’m a hermit at heart. I love connection, circle and community from a place of deep presence and heart — but nothing nourishes me more than my alone time. If at all you find me at a big party, it’ll likely be somewhere on the sideslines, for example decorating the cake or doing the food.

  • I’m notorious for hoarding empty jars, or really anything made of glass with a lid. My kitchen is filled with grains and pulses in bottles, and I love making things that can live in the smaller ones. Every now and again I have to declutter and be discerning — it’s become a ritual.

  • I need my coffee and my dream time in the mornings: yes, goggle-eyed, holding on to a huge mug and staring outside (must be at least a window with far view, some sky, and ideally some green). If I don’t do this, my day just doesn’t flow quite right. I even do it when I have to get up hideously early.

And more serious:

I found the language of neurodivergence only in my early 50s. I’m a deep-feeler and have to ‘feel-sense’ in order to think and speak, and I naturally sense patterns behind the patterns, feelings behind the feelings. I’m also highly sensitive.

While this has become a superpower for my work, I sometimes reflect on how differently my life might have unfolded had this neurodivergence been named and honoured earlier — rather than growing up shaped by environments that required me to suppress essential parts of how I perceive, process and function.
I sense how many of us, in different ways, have learned to do the same.

My current season

I’m now in a season of rewilding — deep listening to the deeper call of my body, soul and spirit — and letting this guide how I show up in the world as a deep-feeling soulful human being.

What other people say about my work:

  • This work has been precious and profound beyond my expectations… I feel connected to my guiding core — strong and grounded to be me, and connected to a deeper realm of inner guidance. I couldn’t have dreamed of this, because I had no idea I could even feel this way.”
    — Judy C., 1:1 monthly mentoring, California

  • There’s something so comforting in knowing that my body and system will always find a way. Julia always manages to open up the space for me to enter into that wisdom.

    Deep shifts have happened — I can’t really put into words how. It’s deeply experiential. I can highly recommend working with her. Her gentle, sensitive approach, her deep wisdom and fine perception are exceptional.”
    — Laura, Finland

As someone who has been in the field a long time, I can easily recognize Julia’s work as stellar. She works with clients in a sensitive, attuned, and respectful way, helping them to self reflect and heal from an embodied location. She combines felt-level experiencing with descriptive reflection and relational support in a way that creates an organic feeling of ‘being home’ in the fullness of ones body. I recommend her work to anyone who is on the embodied path.”

I’m here to tell you: trust your way.

Your heart and soul already know the way, even if you can’t feel it yet.

If you’re here, you might be navigating inner transitions, feeling held back without knowing why,
longing to be more of the real you.

You might have poured your heart into creating a life that feels aligned
— be it for your work, your projects, or just your way of living, creating and being.
Yet you feel that something deeper has not yet been touched, is not in full bloom as it could be.

If you want to find your way and feel more whole, I’d be honoured to walk a part of this journey with you.
