Julian Marcus
Boliqueime, Lisbon
In this somatic, trauma-informed bodywork session, you’re invited to reconnect with your body and nervous system in a safe, respectful space. Together we explore sensation, regulation, and authentic pleasure.
Philosophy
My work centres the body, the nervous system, and the relational spaces we move through.
It’s not about fixing or optimising — it’s about building the capacity to meet life with more presence, choice, and integrity.
You can work with me in different ways, depending on what’s alive for you. I offer sessions for individuals, couples and groups as well as private retreats.
A different kind of support
This work doesn’t ask you to push harder or become someone else.
It focuses on building capacity — in your body, your relationships, and the systems you’re part of — so change can emerge without force.
Im always so surprised by the depth of opening, to life and sensation, that I feel in sessions & conversations with Julian. He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and committed to enabling your wholesale to express in living form to feel and emerge with trust. He links a range of embodied personal practices, such as Taoist alchemy with a plethora of course material such as sexological bodywork. He is a networker, a grounded practitioner, and a skilled magician of the mystery of life. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to feel in and of life, and those wishing to kindle and express their creative potential.
Molly Tovv -Coach
My series of sessions with Julian were transformative. I now have a very passionate and fulfilling relationship with my partner thanks to the work that I did with Julian. I feel more connected with my body and as a result capable of connecting with my partner at a deeper level. Julian has a vast wealth of wisdom, knowledge, sensibility and is very dedicated to his profession. He's a professional with great heart and passion for helping his clients. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking either individual our couples work
Alex - Coach
I can really recommend Julians work and his way of holding space! I was on a training with him and Julian put a lot of emphasis on embodied consent and that we keep in alignment with our boundaries.
I felt safe to say "no" and to check in with myself what i truly need. On the training i had also one triggering moment and Julian was really present with me that i can regulate myself and get back into ownership of my experience.
I can fully recommend his work!

A place to slow down, listen, and choose what truly matters
If you’re considering working with me, whether online or in person, I want you to know how this work begins — and what you can expect.
Before we focus on techniques, goals, or change, we start by getting a clear sense of you as a whole person.
Your wants.
Your needs.
Your desires.
Your limits.
Your current capacity.
Together, we take time to understand what feels most important right now — not what you think you should work on, not what others expect of you, but what is genuinely asking for attention in your life.
