Julie Montinieri, EMP

I am a licensed Energy Medicine Practitioner (EMP) based out of Suffield, CT.  I grew up in Utica, NY, the oldest of 6 kids. My mom was an RN,

childbirth educator, and hospice volunteer. My dad was a

gravedigger. He ran a cemetery; our house was on the property

(yes, we have stories). I went off to Saint Michael’s College in VT

because I loved to ski. Lucky me, I could see Mt Mansfield from

my dorm room window. I met my future husband at St. Mike’s

and earned a BA in English Lit. I landed a teaching fellowship at

the University of Vermont while pursuing an MA. Married to the

same guy for over 40 years, we raised two beautiful,

accomplished daughters. Now we live in rural CT, just minutes

away from two precious grandchildren.

What led me to Energy Medicine was receiving reiki while being

treated for breast cancer 20 years ago. The practitioner slipped

her hands under my low back, and I knew: “Whatever she’s doing,

I need to learn it.” Reiki training led me to a school of energy

medicine that blew my mind wide open.

I learned that everything I was fascinated by gets processed

through the subtle levels of the human energy system. Reality is

built on an energetic sub-structure. Spirituality, wellness, mind-

body connections, relationships and why we behave the way we

do, our essential nature – not what we were taught we are, but

who we really are – these dynamics play out through a universal

web of energy consciousness. Every day, working with my

clients, Life reveals herself in unexpected ways.

I’m in the crone (wise woman, smile) phase of life. I read

endlessly. I love meeting friends for long lunches. I enjoy walking

along the Connecticut River (including heron sightings) almost

daily. I practice yoga and meditation. I’ve led meditation circles since 2012 because the power of people gathered in circles basically holds the world together.

My ultimate goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can claim your divine inheritance–the peace of living in harmony with yourself, others, the earth and Source.  As a result of our work together, you will be able to make positive choices for yourself, leaving self-betrayal behind. You will be in closer alignment with your authentic self and in better relationship with others. Without compromising your new-found integrity, you serve yourself and others in mutually beneficial ways. Life becomes a joy.

Doing this work is my honor and privilege. I'm awed by it just about every day.  I look forward to meeting you and assisting you in re-claiming your True Self.
