Expand your capacity for connection, complexity and change
Welcome!
As the structures of our world are increasingly shaking under pressure, how we respond to this time sets the foundation for the kind of future we can build together.
This is work that happens at the level of culture - the glue that binds us together through our shared understanding, norms and values.
How we are together, not just what we do.
It includes moving…
…from fear and avoidance to grounded feedback
…from burnout and overwhelm to resilience
…from awkward meetings to playful facilitation
…from short-term adjustments to holistic culture change
From there, entire worlds become possible.

I’m Julia Oertli (she/her), a facilitator, culture change consultant and embodiment practitioner based in London and Zürich. I specialise in creating courageous cultural containers for systemic transformation.
I’m also a big fan of flowers – particularly orchids. They are highly sensitive to their environment, but when the conditions are right, they create stunning blossoms that can last for a long time.
Humans are a lot like that. Whether we feel a sense of belonging, safety and dignity in a group, organisation, workplace, community or family depends on the culture that holds it together.
For more than a decade, I have supported organisations in the non-profit sector to align their cultures with their values and missions and adapt to change with intention and courage.
My approach is collaborative, embodied and practical, grounded in a fierce belief in everyone’s ability to shape change.
I weave warmth, humour and playfulness into my work while maintaining a deep commitment to shifting normative power dynamics.

My services
-
Organisational work
Organisations hire me to design culture change processes, build effective feedback cultures, boost team resilience and run trauma-informed facilitation training.
I help organisations create the conditions for a cultural shift so that unspoken norms and dynamics can be named and transformed, which makes room for more ease, connection, creativity and alignment.
-
Embodied resilience
I teach people to expand their capacity to navigate life’s challenges without collapsing, burning out or turning on themselves or other people.
I use a mix of systemic frameworks and embodied resilience, a trauma-informed, somatic approach to real-time stress navigation based on The Resilience Toolkit.
I offer sessions and courses for people in peer groups and 1-to-1.
