Julie Tenner

Julie Tenner is an Intimacy & Relationship Therapist, mother of four, author, and co-host of the Nourishing the Mother podcast. She helps individuals and long-term couples move from emotional flatlines and “roommate mode” back into craving and cherishing each other again. With over two decades in trauma-informed relationship therapy, somatic healing, and intimacy work, Julie guides couples who still love each other but feel disconnected through resentment, emotional shutdown, and low desire - toward reconnection, chemistry, and a sex life that feels good again. Her work supports exhausted women and modern couples with challenges such as: • Emotional disconnection, resentment, and “roommate mode” • Mismatched or low libido, sexual shutdown, or feeling “touched out” • Post-baby shifts in identity, body image, and sensuality • The impact of prolapse, pain, and birth trauma on intimacy • Over-functioning, mental load, and burnout blocking desire • Learning to soften, receive, and feel safe in pleasure • Trauma recovery and nervous system repair • Reigniting passion and polarity in partnerships that still hold love Julie’s approach is heart-centred, practical, and deeply human - reminding us that intimacy isn’t just about sex, but about being truly seen, felt, and cherished.
