Jewles
Welcome to Jewles, my name is Julie I go by Jewles this is a desire‑centered supportive space for survivors . It is a trauma‑trained survivor-led healing space offering Happy Endings—a 6‑step supportive desire focused, and empowering work, I also offer EMDR, EMDR intensives. , and Collective Haven—an online somatic community that ends every gathering with a dance party.
A trauma‑trained pathway for survivors cultivating desire, consent, and self‑authority. A one‑on‑one healing experience rooted in a six‑step, research‑supported framework designed to help survivors of sexual assault reconnect with their bodies, their desires, and their agency.
You cannot give meaningful consent if you do not know your desires.
Most survivors of sexual assault aren’t taught this. They’re taught to focus on boundaries, safety, and saying “no” — but not on the internal compass that makes consent possible in the first place. And when trauma responses take over, desire often goes quiet. It becomes hard to locate, hard to trust, or desire becomes completely inaccessible.
My Approach
About Jewles (Julie Catoe)
I am a trauma-trained practitioner with a background in mental health counseling, sex therapy, a somatic sex educator sexological bodyworker, and survivor myself. My work is informed by professional training, years of study, and lived experiences. While education has shaped me, the deepest lessons have come from walking this path myself.
My journey began through personal experiences that led me to understand trauma, healing, and the ways our minds, bodies, and stories become intertwined. Like many survivors, I sought answers, gained insight, learned the language of trauma, and came to understand what had happened to me.
But understanding trauma is not the same as transforming it.
Over the years, I noticed a gap that rarely gets talked about. Many survivors become experts on their wounds. They can explain their trauma responses, attachment patterns, nervous systems, and coping strategies. Yet despite all that knowledge, they are still waiting to feel fully alive in their bodies.
Many survivors do not need another explanation of why they are struggling. They need opportunities to reclaim desire, pleasure, agency, self-trust, and the parts of themselves trauma taught them to abandon.
I deeply value therapy, trauma education, embodiment, and the professionals doing this work. Yet I believe survivors deserve more than symptom reduction, resilience, or simply returning to daily functioning. Those are meaningful milestones, but they are not the finish line.
Survivors deserve access to joy, pleasure, intimacy, self-expression, and choice. They deserve the opportunity to discover not only who they are beyond trauma, but who they want to become.
Happy Endings for Sexual Assault Survivors emerged from this belief. It is the culmination of what I have learned through lived experience, professional practice, and witnessing the gray areas often left unaddressed in traditional healing spaces. Rooted in warmth, consent, curiosity, and choice and voice, this work invites survivors into a different conversation, one that asks not only, “How do I heal?” but also, “What do I deserve?”
I believe healing is not simply about understanding trauma. It is about reclaiming sovereignty. Pleasure, joy, desire, and embodiment are not rewards reserved for people who were never hurt. They are part of every survivor's birthright. Every person deserves to feel at home in their body, connected to their desires, and free to author a life that belongs to them.
