Reiki, sound healing, and intuitive energy work in the Hudson Valley, NY.
Moonfield
An energy healing practice drawing on traditional Japanese Usui Reiki, shamanic practice, sound healing, and intuitive guidance to support relaxation, exploration, and connection.
Sessions
We begin with simple breathwork to locate our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. Sound deepens your relaxation. Hands-on Reiki draws you into theta or sleep — a receptive state for healing to occur. Guided visualizations bring unconscious stirrings to the surface. Your energy leads the way.
What you might notice
Temperature shifts, tingling, color, light and shadow, sensations of heaviness or lightness, emotion, visual imagery, pain or numbness, contraction or release. This work doesn't require belief to be effective. Stay open, trust your body's knowing, and greet what arrives.
Hudson — Tuesdays
Philmont — weeknights & weekends

The Work
A healing art developed in early-twentieth-century Japan by Mikao Usui and carried to the West by Hawayo Takata in the 1930s. Reiki works with universal life force energy — the same current recognized across cultures as prana, chi, lungta, or arutum — so the body can return to its own balance. Our capacity to access energy from earth, sun and stars is a reminder that true wellbeing integrates the personal and the collective.
Shamanic Reiki weaves traditional Reiki with shamanic principles — working not only with universal life force energy, but with the living intelligence of the natural world to cultivate an active relationship with the elements, the Earth, and the spirit of all things. Earth, Air, Water, and Fire become both tools and teachers, each carrying its own wisdom and healing force.
Sound has been used for healing across cultures and throughout recorded history — from Tibetan monasteries to Indigenous ceremonial practice to the resonance chambers of ancient temples. Modern research supports what these traditions have long known: sustained tonal vibration affects the nervous system, slows brainwave activity, and supports the body in moving from states of stress into rest and restoration.
About the Land
The land is a participant in our energy work. We treat all elements of our environment as living beings. Earth, air, water, fire are characters in our lives and stories. They are the ground beneath the table, the light through the window, the creek running behind the building, the material of the building itself.
Land Acknowledgement
We practice on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Muh-He-Con-Nuck — the People of the Waters that are Never Still — who were forcibly removed after millennia of stewardship. Remaining members of their community resettled in Wisconsin, where they continue to live today as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.
We defend and learn from the sovereignty and the wisdom of indigenous ancestors and compatriots — their deep relationship to land, body, and spirit is a beacon.

My academic background is in Earth and Environmental Science (BA), Architecture (MArch), and Design Criticism (MA).
Story
Born in New York City under a dark November moon. Raised by psychotherapists and bibliophiles. I have worn the hats of scientist, dancer, writer, teacher, carpenter, architect, community advocate, and now healer.
I came to this work the long way around — through breast cancer at thirty-two, a decade designing homes in the Hudson Valley, years of learning from community and land in Philmont, NY, and a lifetime of trying to listen to my own body.
My meandering path is guided by a single running current — making the invisible embodied, and returning to ourselves in service of the relational webs that hold us together.
Containers
A commitment to sustained energy work — a series of sessions over six or twelve months for those who want ongoing support and depth (weekly, biweekly, or monthly).
Two monthly sessions of coaching plus energy work, with texting support in between to tend what surfaces between meetings.
A small fellowship for multi-hyphenate generalists and natural co-creators sensing a convergence of streams — meaning-makers with an established energetic practice, gathering to read the shape of this moment together.
All containers are in formation. To learn more or be included on the early list, write to hello@moonfieldenergy.com.
Client testimonials
Julia's Shamanic Reiki work has been one of the missing pieces in my healing journey. I've dealt with chronic health issues since I was 13. Her sessions helped me tune into patterns and connections in my body that I hadn't fully understood before. I always leave feeling way more connected to myself, like my body is finally speaking a language I can understand. I see her work as a bridge between the energetic and the physical body.
Julia's reiki healing practice is grounded in her deep integrity and presence. In our sessions, I feel held in sacred attention, intention, and care. I am able to experience what needs to come forward, supported to be fully present within myself and to receive what is meant for me.
Julia has a unique ability to work gracefully across modes and mediums — sound, poetry, stones, space, light — generating a creative field of transformation and possibility.
Working with Julia has been such a gift. She has a natural ability to tune into what my body needs, often before I can put it into words myself. Her use of sound bowls seems to dissolve tension and pent-up energy almost effortlessly, and I always walk away feeling lighter and more at ease in my body. Julia's presence is a grounding, thoughtful, and deeply supportive part of my healing journey.
