Julia Allshouse

Julia Allshouse is the founder of Vikara Wellness Retreats, a mother, somatic practitioner, retreat facilitator, and TRE Provider, specializing in nervous system restoration retreats in Mexico. Her work is rooted in the belief that life’s greatest challenges can become doorways to transformation, healing, resilience, and deeper self-connection. After moving through profound life changes and rebuilding her own life, Julia discovered the power of listening to the body, honoring the nervous system, and returning to inner wisdom. Her journey through yoga, somatics, nervous system work, and holistic wellness became a path of resilience, renewal, and joy. Today, she creates nurturing spaces in Mexico where people can step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, release what they have been carrying, and rediscover their own strength, vitality, and aliveness. A central part of her approach is TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), a gentle, body-based somatic practice that supports nervous system regulation through the body’s natural tremor mechanism. Through Vikara, Julia brings together somatic practices, nervous system regulation, yoga, nature, flower essence remedies, cultural immersion, and intentional rest to create transformative retreat experiences. At the heart of her work is a simple invitation: to pause, listen inward, and discover what becomes possible when the body is given space to soften, regulate, and reconnect.
