I recently returned from the "Activate the Goddess Within 3" retreat, and wow, what an incredible experience for both my soul and body. Julietta and Graciela crafted a sacred and safe space where I truly felt seen, heard, and felt. The vulnerability shared among the women led to profound insights and personal breakthroughs. The entire retreat was seamlessly organized – from delicious meals and well-timed breaks to engaging agenda topics, everything ran like a well-oiled machine. The accommodations were beautiful, providing a cozy space for much-needed rest, and the time spent by the pool during breaks added a playful and fun touch to the experience. Thank you both for creating a retreat that was not only deeply healing but also mentally and emotionally rejuvenating. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Julietta Wenzel

Hello, I'm Julietta Wenzel – healer and founder of Body & Soul Ministries!

For years, I carried the title of physical therapist, even teaching other therapists around the world. But those I served often called me a witch, medicine woman, Jedi, sorceress, and guru—each title reflecting the depth and breadth of my spiritual gifts. These names were a testament to my ability to channel wisdom, energy, and transformation in ways that went far beyond traditional physical therapy.

This recognition inspired me to evolve my practice into a ministry and enter the private domain, where I could fully embrace my calling. Today, I serve others in all aspects of healing—body, mind, and spirit—creating sacred spaces where true, holistic transformation can unfold. My journey is a testament to the power of stepping into one’s true purpose and using those gifts to uplift and heal others.

In all my spiritual studies, I’ve come to understand that our purpose here in this life is twofold: to remember who we truly are and to serve. As I walk this path of remembering who I am, I feel deeply called to support you in remembering who you are. I share my gifts through individual healing sessions, group sessions, sacred ceremonies, workshops, and retreats, all designed to guide you toward physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

Stepping into my authentic self and serving others in ways that resonate with me has created so much more joy, fulfillment, and freedom in my life. I believe the world needs more of us to embrace our authenticity and share our unique gifts with the world. I'm also committed to creating a community of like-minded souls to walk this healing journey together, supporting and uplifting one another as we grow.

If you're ready to step into your authentic self, unlock your gifts, and embrace the joy and freedom that come with living in alignment with your true purpose, I invite you to join me on this journey. The world is waiting for the unique magic that only you can offer.
