About me

Healing is not only about the mind \u2014 it is about the body, the nervous system, and the way we relate to ourselves and others. Through a trauma-informed and body-centered approach, lasting transformation becomes possible, not through force but through safety, awareness, and reconnection, allowing you over time to experience greater stability, clarity, and trust, and to feel more at home in your body, your relationships, and your life.

A body-centered path
back to yourself

I am Julia Zimmermann, a certified social worker with a focus on psychology, Certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician in training with Dr. Ramani, and founder of Trauma in a Nutshell™.

My work is rooted in the body, the nervous system, and the slow return to safety, clarity, and connection.

Healing after complex
relational trauma

I specialize in complex relational trauma, with a particular focus on healing after narcissistic abuse. This kind of harm is often invisible, confusing, and still widely misunderstood.

My role is to bring language, structure, and steadiness to that process, so healing can unfold step by step.

Experience held with
care

Over the years, hundreds of clients from more than 15 countries have trusted me with their healing journey. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner at The Balance, a private rehabilitation clinic on Mallorca.

My background includes foster care, intimate partner violence, supervision, psychomotricity, systemic work, reflexology, and trauma-informed bodywork.

Finding your way
back home

Compassion and humor are constant companions in my work. Showing up as a real human being matters because healing asks for presence, patience, and trust.

Having navigated severe trauma myself, I know this process from the inside. I walk beside you as you return to your body, your self, and your life.
