What brings you here

Which of these questions feels familiar?

“I want my next professional chapter to feel more like my own.”
“I'm used to being needed. What do I want for myself?”
“I'm tired of functioning and want to feel more alive.”
“I want to slow down without losing my sense of contribution.”
“Something is changing, but I can't quite name it yet.”
“I'm curious about what else life could hold.”

These questions can arise as careers, relationships and family roles change—or as you prepare to hand over responsibility. You can begin with the question itself. We create space to understand what it is asking of you.

Your guide

Julia von Winterfeldt

Energy & Transformation Coach

Julia led companies through digital transformation for twenty years, including as Managing Director of AKQA Germany. Her own transition led her to found SOULWORX in 2015, and showed her what strategy alone can't reach: the felt sense of who we are becoming.

Today she combines systemic coaching and inquiry with embodied practice. The body becomes a way into presence and aliveness, and stillness widens what you are able to perceive. Insight is then not only understood, but felt, and can be lived. You decide what you want to explore.

For the first time in years, I stopped living by other people's expectations — and started listening to myself again.

Before you begin

What you might like to know beforehand

Do I need to know what I want to change?

No. Many people begin with a sense that something is shifting, without a clear goal. Finding out what matters to you now is part of the work.

Is this only for women in midlife?

Individual coaching is open to people of all genders, in midlife and beyond. The Midlife Orientation and The Midlife Call are designed for women aged 40 and over. Check each retreat's details for its audience and language.

What role does the body play?

Change is often felt before it can be put into words. Alongside conversation, inquiry and reflection, Julia offers practices from meditation, embodiment and energy work to include your body and felt experience. They are invitations: you choose what you want to explore, and none is required.

Is this psychotherapy?

No. Coaching and group work are not medical or psychotherapeutic treatment and do not replace it. Julia is trained in systemic therapy and works trauma-informed, which shapes how she holds the space.

A first conversation

What would you like to find out for yourself?

Share what's moving you. Together we'll look at where you stand, what support could help and whether working together feels right.
