Expand your capacity for connection, complexity and change

I’m Julia Oertli (she/her), a facilitator, consultant and somatic practitioner based in London and Zürich who specialises in creating courageous cultural containers for systemic transformation.
I’m a big fan of flowers – particularly orchids. They are highly sensitive to their environment, but when the conditions are right, they create stunning and deeply resilient 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 and environment 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 and make room for more ease, creativity and alignment.

Embodied resilience
Embodied resilience is a trauma-informed, somatic approach to real-time stress navigation based on The Resilience Toolkit.
It expands people’s capacity to navigate challenges, uncertainty and change without collapsing, burning out or turning on themselves or other people.
I offer sessions and courses for people in peer groups and 1-to-1.
Some of the organisations I have worked with
“Julia is a highly credible, hard working and compassionate practitioner. She provided us with flexibility, a real willingness to do what was needed, and ensured that the people we work with felt well supported and confident in the organisation’s continued ability to deliver during a time of change.”
