Meet Dr. Julie Hutsell-Starling: A Multidisciplinary Healing Practitioner
Dr. Julie Hutsell-Starling, DACM, Embodiment Teacher and Spiritual Mentor, is a multidisciplinary healing practitioner whose work is rooted in helping people reconnect with their true essence. Through a blend of ancient wisdom and modern healing modalities, Julie guides her clients toward deeper self-awareness, embodiment, and lasting transformation. In this interview with The Wellness Universe, Julie shares her mission, her journey, and the passion behind her work.
The Wellness Universe (WU): What is your mission?
Julie Hutsell-Starling (JHS): My mission is to awaken as many people as possible to the remembrance of ALL that they are, which is far more than what societal rules have allowed them to believe they are.
WU: Please tell us about yourself and what inspires you.
JHS: I love to give people healing practices they can use to help themselves, and it makes me so happy when my clients show up for themselves, implement what I taught them and see positive results!!
WU: Now that we know a bit about you, explain what it is that you do and how it helps people to be happy, healthy, and healed.
JHS: I am a multidisciplinary practitioner trained in acupuncture, health coaching, kundalini yoga, breathwork, meditation, the Akashic Records and sound healing. In my in-person work, I provide 1:1 sessions for my patients and teach weekly yoga classes as well as quarterly embodiment workshops that incorporate all of my training for a complete sensory experience for the participants. Online, I offer group and individual coaching as well as online self-guided programs.
WU: How long have you been doing this work?
JHS: I’ve been an acupuncturist for over 20 years, and that opened the door for me to find all these other modalities, which I have incorporated over time.
WU: Why are you so passionate about what you do?
JHS: For a long time in my career, I struggled with burnout and a feeling of a lack of joy in my life. I was just going through the motions, and even though I had all the tools to help with the burnout, they weren’t working long-term. Once I finally understood the root cause of the burnout, everything shifted for me. Now I feel inspired every day and I am thriving doing what I love. I KNOW it is possible for everyone to feel this way if they desire, and that is what motivates me every day. I love to touch the lives of people who KNOW they are meant for more and reconnect them back to who they really are, so that they can live into the fullest expressions of their souls.
WU: Was there a specific life experience that caused you to follow this path?
JHS: I initially discovered acupuncture because I had a chronic pain condition in my 20’s and was told I would always need to use pain meds to deal with it. I refused to believe that and decided to try acupuncture instead. The pain resolved within a couple of months, and along the way, I learned about the mind-body connection and how my suppressed emotions were impacting my body. Ever since then, I’ve been passionate about helping others connect to their emotions and experience their bodies’ healing capacity.
WU: Please share a story of how you have made a difference in someone’s life.
JHS: I have worked with so many people over the years, it’s hard to pick one, but recently, one of my kundalini yoga students told me that my classes and workshops had helped her so much. She was thinking back to the last year and all she had gone through and realized she handled things so much better than she would have in the past, and the only thing that was new was she had been coming regularly to my classes. She says the teachings and practices have helped her feel calmer, more grounded, less reactive, and more in touch with herself.
WU: What will you be sharing at SoulTreat Retreat 2026?
JHS: I will be leading an embodiment workshop on the RESET day of SoulTreat. In this workshop, I will be working to help participants fully let go of what is no longer serving them, which they will have identified on the first day. And then I will focus on helping them become what they are creating for themselves by embodying it, through practices designed to help them connect with their souls, and with all that they are. Connecting with their light, they’ll leave shining and sparkling so brightly that everyone around them is going to wonder what they’ve been up to. 🙂 I cannot wait to share it with you!
WU: What’s next on the horizon for you?
JHS: I am leading a retreat in Paamul, Mexico, January 31-February 6, 2026, called Soul Magic, and I am super excited to share that experience with the beautiful souls joining me. I’ll be announcing more retreats in the near future, as well as more workshops and programs.
WU: Thank you so much for sharing today! Do you have any final thoughts?
JHS: My final thought for those reading is this: be true to yourself, always. I have found that when one loses touch with themselves and who they are, that is usually the root cause of the dis-ease and suffering that people experience. Staying true to you will help you stay the course, and stay connected to your soul, even when life is challenging.
What people say about Julie!
Julie is very professional and intelligent. Julie has not only helped me physically but emotionally/mentally. I call her my life coach and cannot imagine life without her guidance. I met Julie when I was stuck in the grieving process and not moving forward. With Julie’s guidance, I am making huge strides in this process. There really are no words to describe how much she means to me and my family. Thank you, Julie! ~ M.B.
