About
Getting to know me and my why

JUDI BLUM
Somatic Spiritual Coach
My work is like that of a doula as I have come to understand that it is of your doing, not mine when your insights emerge, when your attachments are released, when new ways of being are discovered, and your body reshapes around more realistic, nourishing beliefs. You are doing the work. My role is more like that of a doula. I partner with you to support the natural emergent process through exploration. Ultimately, it is you who looks inside, contacts the mystery, suspends old reactions, gently experiences the pain, and considers how to integrate your wholeness into your everyday world. ​
​
During our time together, you will discover that you have inner wisdom, connect with the experience of it, and validate it so you can move forward living the life you want.

MY WHY
The Longing
For almost 4 decades, I have passionately explored various spiritual and intellectual paths, motivated by an inexplicable longing to better understand why we are here, where we come from, and where we are going.
​
My life, like yours, is a multi-faceted gem. My jewel's different faces have included, or include: Jewish roots, biology graduate, born-again Pentecostal Christian, new ager, agnostic, holistic chiropractor, mother, student of A Course in Miracles, Inter-Spiritual Minister Training, Shamanic explorations, coach, entheogenic journeys, deep somatic direct experience of the divine (Mysticism), Rosicrucianism and the Essene Tradition. I have profound gratitude for all these turns on the spiral of my life of acquired wisdom. Each one has brought me greater awareness to how I navigate the world of form and formlessness simultaneously. My journey continues to release me from the tyranny of 'either/or' into the freedom of 'both/and'.
​
As a holistic chiropractor for 20+ years, I observed many of my clients struggling with physical dis-ease, unsatisfied cravings, unhealthy relationships, etc. Upon deeper inquiry, I sensed that many had a yearning for deeper meaning in life. I wondered if developing the connection to Self, others, the world, and Something Greater, would increase ease, wellness and joy.
These personal and professional experiences inspired me to unearth my own wholeness by exploring both my shadowy parts and the divine spark within. My trainings as an Inter-spiritual Counsellor, Deep Transformational Coach, and Body-Oriented Coach, were not simply about how to support other folks; fortunately, the teachings were experiential. In other words, I had to do my own work. As a practitioner, I only suggest what I have applied to my own life. This continues to be my practice. I show up whole for you.
