About Living Temple

​

I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist and Myofascial Release Therapist (John F. Barnes method), a Reiki Master, and a spiritual-somatic coach trained in somatic trauma healing. Which is a long way of saying: I work at the meeting place of body, frequency, and liberation. I’m queer, and because I've long sought a space that could recognize and hold every part of me, I created a space where I will never ask you to leave your politics, your rage, your grief, or your spirituality at the door. 

 

I came to this work the long way — through leaving fundamentalism, through queer activism, through my own undoing and rebuilding. 

​

I am a Scorpio sun, Libra rising, Taurus moon. I go to the depths, I fight for justice, I need things to be beautiful, and I need healing to be tangible — bread that rises, tomatoes I grew myself, hands on skin, feet on ground. Nothing I offer is theoretical.

​

I live in Denver with my partner Emily and our dog Teddy. Most mornings you’ll find me meditating at my altar or hiking in the Rockies with my bestie. I bake gluten-free with real conviction, dream up wild adventures, and cultivate hope for a revolution.  I’m learning to grow my own food, and I love whales more than is strictly reasonable. I’m a devotee of Mystery, and I’m building this practice as sanctuary — for the people who are healing themselves and this world at the same time.

Hi, I’m Jules — founder of Living Temple.

the methods

Body positive. Trauma informed. Transformative.

​Myofascial Release (John F. Barnes Method)

Hands-on work with the fascia, the connective web that wraps every muscle and organ in your body without a break: no oil, gentle sustained pressure held five minutes or longer in one place, because that's how long compressed tissue takes to stop bracing. Softens the nervous system responses so we can release bracing patterns and long-held trauma from the body. 

​

Spiritual Coaching

Embodied Liberation coaching uses somatic trauma healing methods, guided visualization, quantum manifesting, attachment and relational repair, ancestral clearing, past life regression, purpose mapping, and values clarification.  It is meant to release trauma and limiting beliefs and help you to reclaim sovereignty and self-trust as you embody your purpose and power!  

 

Breathwork

Three part connected breathing in the David Elliott lineage, which gets you underneath the thinking mind faster than talking does, helps your energy to move, helps you to connect to your highest wisdom, and brings clarity and LIFE back to your cells. 

​

Tarot

Seventy-eight images old enough to hold almost anything, read the way you'd read a dream. I use it because it hands the knowing back to you: you look at the card, you say what it stirs, and we go from there.

​

Energy Work

Reiki and hands-on energy work integrated into the bodywork while my hands are already on you. Fascia responds to frequency and carries a charge under pressure, so I treat the energetic and the physical as one system approached from two directions.

​
 

         ​
Whether you're navigating a life threshold, processing grief, healing chronic pain, or longing to feel like yourself again -- I have the tool, touch, and ritual to help you remember: you are whole, and you are worthy.

Approach

Therapeutic Style

My work is liberation-focused, equity-based, trauma-informed, and held through a queer lens. I don’t treat body and spirit as separate, and I don’t treat personal healing and liberation as separate from collective healing and liberation. Every session runs on consent, collaboration, and sovereignty over your own body.
