Juliana recently graduated from the University  of Arizona with a bachelor’s in Nutritional Sciences-Dietetics. She is happy to work here at Zola and be surrounded by great women who support different types of healing and wellness!

​

Juliana's nutrition services are grounded in a collaborative, compassionate, and non-diet approach that prioritizes education, self-trust, and a healthier relationship with food. Juliana works alongside clients to explore how food, mood, stress, and daily life intersect, while honoring each person’s unique experiences, values, and needs.

​

Using motivational interviewing and intuitive eating–informed principles, sessions are client-led and focused on meeting you where you are. Rather than prescribing rigid plans or rules, Juliana supports clients in building awareness, confidence, and autonomy around eating through gentle guidance, open conversation, and practical nutrition education.

​

Juliana takes an anti-diet, inclusive approach that respects body diversity and individual autonomy. She believes all foods can fit within a balanced lifestyle and that food is more than fuel or calories, it holds emotional, cultural, and relational significance and plays an important role in our identity and well-being.

​

Juliana believes her role is to listen, support, and guide, not dictate. Together, you will focus on developing sustainable habits, improving nourishment, and fostering a more peaceful relationship with food at a pace that feels safe and realistic for you. 

If you're searching for more presence, meaning, or freedom in your life — and perhaps working through anxiety, grief, old wounds, or other life challenges — Chris is honored to walk with you. He takes an integrative-depth approach to counseling, drawing primarily on Existential-Humanistic (EH) therapy, Jungian/Analytic dream work, Somatic Experiencing (SE), and EMDR.

He sees depth counseling as less about encountering an expert in front of you, and more like connecting with a fellow traveler beside the fireplace at an old inn on a wintry night — one who has supported others on their unique journeys, studies deeply the role of ethical guide, and respects the process, including from lived experience.

Coming around September 2026, Chris will complete certification in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), offering personality type consulting to individuals, couples, and organizations. Grounded in Jungian psychology and the work of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers, the MBTI is an empowering tool for deepening self-awareness, connection to strengths, and relationships with self, others, and world.

​

He's inspired to have joined the caring team and healing space at Zola, and is excited that you’ve found your way here.​​

Kathy has devoted more than five decades to the field of transpersonal studies. A Reiki Master, psychic and medium, she possesses a rare sensitivity to health-related information within the energetic field—an intuitive awareness attuned to the
subtle vibrational patterns that influence wellness and disease.

​

Following a near-death experience that sparked a profound health crisis, Kathy entered what she calls her “personal university,” a transformative period that deepened her understanding of the mind–body–spirit connection. Guided by her first medically
focused spirit guide, she worked alongside an Osteopathic Doctor in a clinical setting, which ignited a lifelong exploration of childhood trauma and its expression through the body.

Kathy later apprenticed with third-generation Comanche medicine man Edgar Monetathchi, Jr., director of the Native American Indian Medicine Program at Saint Mary’s Hospital. His teachings profoundly expanded her perception of reality. Seeking grounding after this transformative period, she found balance through the Twelve Step program, which became an anchor in her continued spiritual growth. She pursued formal education at Pima Community College and the University of Arizona’s School of Art, where she explored the intersection of energy, healing, and creative expression—ultimately using art as medicine.

Through all her experiences, Kathy’s purpose has remained constant: to grow along spiritual lines, to meet people where they are along their path, and to help other’s find the resources to heal, in and outside the community.
