We recently connected with Julie Cloutier and have shared our conversation below.
Julie, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?
I wanted to change my career from graphic design to coaching. I started by doing some visualization, seeing myself happy in a coaching session with a client.
I started this change by taking a Life Coaching Course even if I knew that it was not exactly what I was aiming for, knowing intuitively that it was a step towards it. That was January 2022.
In May 2022, I let go of my actual full-time safe job and stepped into the unknown while I was also completing a second certification in a specialty of the coaching field called Deep Transformational Coaching. It is aimed at supporting anyone that are facing question about their life choice, and their identity and questioning if they are authentically living in alignment with their truth from within. As I was re-aligning my work life, it was perfectly in sync with what I was going through but it did not yet feel it was exactly that which I was looking for.
Because I was facing some blocks around promoting my business and sharing my authentic voice, I found a somatic-based modality to support my journey to what I call living my authentic life and allowing abundance to flow in my life. This modality was so supportive and so monumentally efficient for me that I decided to become a certified facilitator. That became the tool that I used to free myself from what was limiting my potential to unfold and my life to flow, it is the modality that supported me in letting go of fear and self-judgment and it is the modality that I am using to support my clients in the same manner that it supported me.
My business started to flourish from my own transformation within and now I have the privilege to support anyone that hopes to dissolve limitations with somatic-based inquiries and on top of it, I am getting paid for it.
The tools became the foundation of all, my well-being, my business, my income, my joy, my efficiency and my clarity while working with my clients.
I am in love with my life, with everyone appearing in it, with my work and with these tools for change and wellbeing.

Julie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I was always someone who loved to help and communicate. But because I was unconscious of the limiting beliefs that I was holding about myself I could not find peace and happiness. I felt that I was trying to force things to happen instead of trusting myself and taking action to bring to life what I would love to experience. Especially relating to my work life.
I had to let go of the need to help to be a good coach. I had to trust myself to start my own YouTube channel and share my authentic voice without shame, without fear of being judged.
I found a modality called Mindful Integration to reveal what was unconsciously believed about myself that was preventing me from being authentic and moving towards what inspired me and excited me without fear.
After having used the Mindful Integration modality and tools to transform from within and see my life transform on the outside effortlessly, I now provide one-on-one somatic-based inquiry sessions using that same modality. I help people bring from unconsciousness to consciousness the false beliefs that they hold about themselves and that are triggering suffering in their lives. I help them reveal the hidden benefit of their actions that are feeling out of alignment and make them suffer a sense of limitation or separation. By revealing the false belief and the hidden benefit of actions that are out of alignment, their outside life and circumstances start to change on their own effortlessly. The transformation within is magically reflected outside. Seeing that, they start to trust more and more that inner change is way more efficient than trying to change things from the outside.
I now offer guided one-on-one inquiry sessions using the modality of Mindful Integration. I help people reveal and live their infinite potential by supporting them to release and let go of false beliefs that they hold about themselves, about others and about life itself. My business is flourishing along with the flourishing of the lives of my clients.
I currently hold a community on Circle for anyone interested in subscribing to my online courses “Awaken Your Emotional Intelligence” and “Effortless Being – Knowing the 5 Koshas” for anyone ready to step into their power and shine their light in the world.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I am sharing on YouTube authentically from direct experience how my life transformed. I don’t prepare, I don’t use any structured format, I don’t plan, I don’t use special lighting. Authenticity builds trust. I am sharing myself openly from joy and those that resonate with my energy are inspired to work with me and already have a sense of trust since they are knowing me while listening to my sharing.
Be yourself, be authentic and anyone that resonate and need what you have to offer will want to work with you. By sharing authentically with integrity, trust is already present when we connect for the first time together and that is effortless and truly magical.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
I found what I needed to feel whole and complete. I worked on myself, invested in myself and that has unfolded as infinite joy, abundance and love. I encourage people to look within and have ruthless self-honesty to have no blind spots so that they can step into their true power with wisdom and integrity.
