Trauma healing practitioner – Intuitive – Healing Touch provider
Based in Santa Cruz, CA, on traditional Amah Mutsun land (Popeloutchom)*, Sol Touch is the healing arts practice of Julie Ann Ferreira.
Julie Ann has shared her loving and grounding presence for years as a Waldorf Kindergarten teacher and is now pursuing an advanced degree in Social Work.
A student of somatics, she believes deeply in the power of self-healing and embodiment. With years of experience from her own meditation, yoga, dance, and other therapeutic practices she knows well that much mental and emotional strife can reside in the body and she strives to help people access what needs to be felt in order to heal.
She is a lover of the sun (Sol, in her native Portuguese), and the human soul – which she hopes to touch with her work.
Sol Touch is her way of giving to others what has been so nourishing and healing for her.
