Natural Flow Movement
Unlock Your Body’s Innate Wisdom
"I now know how a flower moves its head toward the sun."
Alicia O’Keeffe
Natural Flow Movement is a somatic, intuitive movement practice I developed, inspired by Eastern traditions such as Tai Chi, Qigong, and the Reiki practice of “Undo.” It is a gentle, yet profound way of allowing the body to move freely, guided by its own inner wisdom.
At its core, Natural Flow Movement is about surrendering to the body’s natural rhythms—releasing contractions, dissolving blockages, and restoring balance. Rather than controlling movement, we learn to listen deeply, allowing the body to move in the way it naturally needs to—effortlessly unwinding tension, stress, and stored trauma.
When we relax, let go, and step out of our own way, the body instinctively knows how to heal itself. This practice supports both physical and emotional well-being, offering a path to deeper presence, ease, and flow in daily life.
Benefits of Natural Flow Movement:
Natural Flow Movement is offered in private 1-on-1 sessions or group sessions, available online or in person. Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes and is completely confidential.

Here’s what people are saying about Natural Flow Movement:
“I really liked this course! I had never met Julianne before and LOVED the quality of her energy, clarity, leadership and for me this created a really valuable field to explore these simple practices. I didn’t want the course to end.”
Ken Farber
“The Movement Course was super helpful for me to open and release emotional and body stuckness from early childhood trauma. I felt safe and held in the group dynamic supported by the individual sharing at the start and close. The group size was perfect so I felt you had capacity to be present to each of us in the dance. It was a beautiful experience with myself and with others.”
Aliyah, Vancouver Island, Canada
“If you want to discover the wisdom held in your body take this course. Julianne provided such a nurturing space, in which it felt safe for me to turn inwards and drop deep inside my cells. It was such a wonderful experience to learn how to listen to the body and simply flow with it.”
Alicia O’Keeffe
“Thank you so much for your Natural Flow Movement course! Because of repression and chronic neck pain, I came to the course, feeling cut off from my body and holding a lot of contraction in my upper body. The course helped me get more in touch with my body and the way my body energy wanted to move. Near the end, I realized that I have, mentally and physically, been holding myself in a certain position to “protect” myself from unresolved trauma. I highly recommend, thanks again!”

“Julianne has created a movement workshop based on her experience with several different modalities of energetic flow. We learn to direct the body through naturally-arising somatic energies rather than willful control. The objective, and the challenge, is to allow the body to move as it wishes without direction or guidance from the mind. The body has its own wisdom — it can help undo somatic contractions, discover trapped or repressed emotions, and allow these to be pulled or coaxed to the surface, in awareness, for expression and release. There can be no syllabus or set of rules because the thinking mind must step aside. Julianne teaches “not-doing” so that embodied spirit can lead the dance.
The class has helped my body to become more expressive, especially during somatic inquiry. My facial and bodily expressions are becoming more revealing and alive. Julianne helps us taste the freedom of embodied flow. She helps us become less self-conscious to become more conscious of the self.
As I learn to welcome my thoughts and emotions, the class has helped me to better access my body’s wisdom. I feel more alive as my body learns to better express itself. The body can provide more wisdom and guidance, and can more easily unravel contractions when I can keep my mind from interfering. This is precisely what Julianne has to teach: natural, flowing, body movement, unimpeded by egoic constraints and resistance.
I spent many years meditating on the bliss of emptiness while trying to shut out the complaints of the body. That led to a kind of sterile, pretend/partial awakening. Now I am learning to address the body contractions that rob me of life energy and prevent me from seeing through my projections and repressions. Focusing on movement and change, rather than stillness and changelessness, brings a fresh aliveness to my practice. Stagnant energy must go. The movement of energy is assisted by the movement of the body — especially when the movement occurs naturally, without cognitive control. This is what I experienced in Julianne’s workshop on movement. I recommend her class wholeheartedly.”
