Hi! I am Julia Karmo
Coach, mediator, founder and journalist
What is systemic coaching like? Is this what you are looking for?
Systemic coaching is particularly helpful for people who feel stuck and like they need to "level-up" to successfully work through their challenges.
We begin our work together by mapping out the reality around the client's challenge. This step helps us work with the situation holistically, notice underlying patterns, uncover new perspectives, and identify blind spots. Through our coaching process, clients tend to begin to see their reality with new eyes and move forward with more self-trust, agency and aliveness.
My gift as a coach is my ability to think deeply and to offer meaningful reflections while holding a warm, empathetic, nonjudgemental space and being an ally to my clients.
My second specialism is conflict resolution and mediation skills. I help my clients work through conflict in healthy ways, be transformed by this and thus reach more ease and authenticity in relationships with people.
Coaching is a goal-oriented process. Our work together is inherently practical, our reflective work and insights get translated into action you want to take in the world, and I support you in that, too.
My work rests on my belief that personal work that goes into greater individual self-awareness, integration of blind spots, resolving our inner and outer conflicts moves us to a place where we can be more free and skilful in engaging with the world relationally and wisely for the benefit of broader social systems.

Client testimonials
- I came to see Julia because I did not know what else I could do in my professional career. My mind was stuck. Julia helped me to get unstuck. In our sessions, we worked on opening up the idea space. I was surprised at how effortlessly and joyfully I was able to put some of these ideas in practice.
- Julia is calm, very friendly and asks a lot of questions. I was really struggling with an issue, a knot, in my relationships. Our sessions helped me to loosen that knot.
- I worked with Julia to get some clarity around my next professional steps. The sessions and Julia's calm and welcoming presence helped me to understand my feelings, needs and wishes and to structure what needs to be done. I feel calmer and clearer about my way forward.

The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.

I have also founded an educational non-profit and created content for think tanks, universities and advocacy groups.
