Hello.
I'm happy you're here.
A little bit about me.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to designing systems that do more than function — they feel.
They meet people where they are.
They whisper: I see you.
In the 90s, I was immersed in medicine.
In the early 2000s, it was personalized beauty technology.
Later, wellness diagnostics and mental health platforms.
Today, it’s embodied aftercare —
trauma-informed restorative tattoo artistry, nervous system nourishment, and spa-inspired, sensory-rich experiences for those living in the After.
This is care that sees you.
The tools have changed.
The mission has not:
To meet people at their most human.
To honor the path behind them, and gently support where they’re going.
To remind them they matter, exactly as they are.
This is what I’ve always been building.
And now, I offer it through artistry, presence, and love.
With Love,
Dr. Julie

Navigating Survivorship After Cancer
Embodied Aftercare™
My Approach & Methodology
At With Love, Dr. Julie, every offering is grounded in a Signature method I call Embodied Aftercare™ —
a trauma-informed, sensory-rich approach designed to support individuals navigating cancer, trauma, and life’s most meaningful thresholds.
Originally personalized for the After — that quiet, often unseen space following treatment —
this approach has evolved to support the full continuum of care: before, during, and after.
Created with a deep understanding of how trauma, illness, and transition affect the body and nervous system, Embodied Aftercare™ offers a safe and relaxing environment to reconnect with yourself, supporting a new relationship with your body, built on presence, tenderness, and trust after medical trauma.
From this approach,
I have curated three distinct offerings—
each one created to support a different stage of your journey.
[Aesthetic Restoration]
-
Hyperrealistic areola and nipple tattooing, paired with trauma-informed scar refinement and camouflage, are offered within a spa-inspired setting that supports both physical and emotional transformation.
[Relaxation Immersions | During Treatment + Recovery]
-
Therapeutic, sensory-based sessions to soothe the nervous system during treatment, recovery, or times of emotional fatigue. These are calming experiences designed to bring rest and relief.
[Embodied Aftercare™ Immersions | Survivorship Care]
-
Restorative sessions for the After — exploring the emotional, physical, and relational landscape that remains once treatment ends. These sessions blend gentle reflection, nervous system tools, and sensory grounding to support integration and becoming.
Each path is a commitment to honoring all of you — body, mind, and spirit.
