About your hosts

Julie Marcelle supports women in transitioning off hormonal birth control using a holistic, evidence-informed approach that prioritizes cycle education, nervous system regulation, and root-cause hormone assessment. Through cycle tracking, individualized self-care strategies, and functional hormone testing when appropriate, she help clients move from confusion and fear into a clear understanding of their hormonal patterns—supporting improved cycle regularity, stable energy and mood, and a restored sense of trust and connection with their body.

Dana Nie supports individuals through Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and Sound Healing. With a background in Anthropology, she spent years studying different cultural traditions and healing practices. In her sessions, she guides participants into deep somatic awareness and helps them connect with the body's subtle energetic rhythms.
Her approach weaves together mindful movement, breath awareness, meditation and deep relaxation to support the Nervous System. She will guide a somatic yoga and movement practice that encourages pelvic floor awareness and nervous system balance, and a Sound Bath to integrate the afternoon’s experiences.
