If you’re someone who has done the work—therapy, healing practices, speaking out, supporting others—but deep down, you’re still carrying the impact of what happened… this is for you.
You may be showing up in life, work, and relationships. You may be a voice of strength for others. But inside, it still takes effort to manage how you feel. You might notice that beneath your outward resilience, something hasn’t fully released.
You may be:
Quietly managing waves of anxiety, sadness, or unease
Feeling emotionally worn even though you appear steady on the outside
On edge in certain situations, with your nervous system working overtime
Experiencing disrupted sleep or a mind that won’t fully rest
Longing for true ease—not just the ability to hold it together for others
If this sounds familiar, please know—there is nothing wrong. You’ve done so much already. But some layers of the traumatic experiences—especially when deeply imprinted in the nervous system—don’t fully resolve through talking, coping or even certain healing modalities. They require a different kind of release that reaches the body and heart.

Even when life on the outside looks “normal,” you might still be quietly navigating things like:
Chest tightness or discomfort: Stress and unreleased emotion often settle in the body. You may notice tightness, heaviness, or pressure in your chest—especially when your nervous system is on high alert beneath the surface.
Difficulty focusing: It takes energy to “hold it all together.” You may find it harder to concentrate, stay present, or focus on tasks when part of you is managing an invisible emotional load.
Emotional disconnection: You may appear engaged with life, but inside, joy can feel muted. It can take effort to connect emotionally with others or to fully feel experiences that once brought happiness.
Undercurrents of helplessness: You move through life capably, but there can be moments when an unexpected trigger brings a wave of powerlessness—an echo of what your system endured.
Intrusive memories or vivid flashes: Though you’re functioning day to day, certain sounds, images, or conversations can spark sharp emotional memories or body sensations tied to the original trauma.
Subtle hypervigilance: You’re able to go through life, but part of you remains “on watch”—constantly scanning your surroundings, unable to fully relax, even when things are safe.
Quiet social withdrawal:You may stay connected publicly but find yourself pulling back behind the scenes—avoiding deeper interactions, declining invitations, or feeling emotionally distant, even around those you love.
Digestive discomfort:The body holds what the mind cannot resolve. You may experience stomachaches, nausea, or other gut issues linked to chronic stress still living in your system.
Survivor's Guilt: You might carry unspoken guilt—about having survived, about what others went through, or about not having been able to do more. It can linger, even if you’re outwardly advocating or supporting others.
Disrupted sleep: Even when exhausted, deep rest can be elusive. You may battle insomnia, wake frequently, or face nightmares—because your body has not yet fully shifted out of hypervigilance.
Sudden waves of panic: Without warning, intense physical symptoms can arise—racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness. These panic responses often surface when stored trauma energy hasn’t yet cleared from the nervous system.

You Deserve to Feel Whole Again.
If you’ve lived through the horrors of the Nova Festival—and are now trying to live in a world that no longer feels the same—you are not alone. You may look like you’re functioning. You may be a voice for others, showing up bravely. You may be trying to move forward while quietly carrying more than anyone sees.
As a Jewish mother, my heart is with you. I understand the layers of grief, fear, and exhaustion that can live inside you after something so unimaginable. I want to say this clearly: you are not broken—and you don’t have to carry this alone.
As part of my personal giveback to those impacted by the Nova Festival, I am offering one private session for those who are still carrying the impact and are ready for the next step toward healing. This is not charity. It is a gift of care and deep respect—for your strength, your courage, and all that you’ve already walked through.
If this speaks to you, I would be honored to walk with you.
My life’s work is helping people like you—those who have already done healing, but still feel a heaviness inside. Those who are strong on the outside but still managing an unseen impact within. Those who long to feel truly free again—not just resilient, but whole.
I understand this path, because I lived my own version of it. For years, I poured myself into doing, helping, achieving—while suppressing the pain I didn’t know how to face. I’ve spent over two decades searching for answers, training under leaders like psychoanalyst Steven Kessler, studying trauma, the nervous system, and healing modalities from all over the world. And through this journey, I created the Moment to Moment (MTM) method—a unique 5-step process that helps gently release the deep imprints trauma leaves on the body and mind.
This method isn’t theoretical. It’s been lived. It’s been refined over 10 years of client work. And it has helped hundreds of people—many just like you—finally feel safe, free, and at peace again.
Why I do this: because no one should have to pretend they’re fine when they’re not. Because I know how it feels to carry grief and terror while trying to show up for life. And because after Nova, so many of you are carrying an invisible weight the world doesn’t fully understand.
If you see yourself in these words—if you’ve been carrying more than anyone knows—there is a way forward. You do not have to live this way forever. I would be honored to walk with you.
With love,
Julie
