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.
