my name is julz bolinayen. i descend from a lineage of land stewards, weavers, seers and folk healers. my ancestors are ilokano from the island of northern luzon, in the archipelago now colonially known as the philippines. though i've been migratory throughout my life, always near volcanoes and the sea, the ocean is home for me wherever i go. i am a queer brown femme and trans/non-binary being. i am a holistic healing practitioner, death doula, singer-songwriter, tattooist and ceremonialist. i am also a spoonie, neurodivergent, partially deaf/hard-of-hearing and learning ASL.

a highly sensitive person since childhood, i accepted my path in 2011 and have been offering my gifts in community ever since. i have guided, felt and seen the powerful impact of holistic healing traditions on others’ bodies and souls—and my own. as a survivor of CSA and DV, i’ve experienced profound healing through ancestral traditions, culturally conscious care, and ceremony such as ritual scarification, trauma-informed tattooing, non-western traditional bodywork, and grief ritual. my elders, teachers and mentors have performed healing rituals that have impacted how i provide services to my clients. these transformative experiences inspire me to move with integrity and provide high quality care for my community.

my purpose is to support you in living your most authentic life. in order to do so, i work with various mediums rooted in ancestral healing practices to support you in unblocking, transformation, and empowerment. through healing intergenerational trauma, releasing grief, and reclaiming our bodies, it is my belief we will all experience joy, holistic harmony, and ultimately freedom—with the grace and guidance of my honorable ancestors, spirit team, and lakapati—our trans/third gender deity of the philippines.
