Dr. Julie Beaulac |
is a bilingual registered clinical, health, and rehabilitation psychologist and consultant based in Ottawa, Canada.
Her work is rooted in mind–body unity and in the understanding that healing often unfolds as we reconnect with the body’s wisdom, deepen awareness, and make space for curiosity and “not knowing.” Through presence, compassion, and evidence-informed psychological care, Julie supports individuals in moving toward greater alignment, vitality, and meaning.
A certified yoga teacher and long-time practitioner of embodiment, mindfulness, and integrative wellness, Julie brings together psychological science, contemplative practice, and body-based approaches in her work. Her ongoing professional development includes 103 hours of advanced therapeutic yoga training through the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy, as well as completion of the Healthcare Practitioner Program with Dr. Joe Dispenza through the Inner Health Coalition.
In addition to her clinical work, Julie provides professional training and consultation in program development and evaluation. Her work has been presented at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.
Julie is the co-author of The Mind-Body Way: The Embodied Leader’s Path to Resilience, Connection, and Purpose (2023).
She is passionate about helping people reconnect — with themselves and one another, with wonder and joy, with nature and movement, and with what matters most. At the heart of her work is the belief that through connection, we remember our wholeness.
Outside of her professional work, Julie finds nourishment in nature and movement, real food, meaningful conversations, and exploring Canada and beyond.

Background
Dr. Beaulac began her career as a psychologist in Manitoba, where she held a full-time academic appointment in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Manitoba and worked in primary care with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. In 2012, she returned to Ottawa, where she spent nearly a decade as a psychologist at The Ottawa Hospital and a clinician-investigator in Clinical Epidemiology at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
Over the course of her career, Dr. Beaulac has worked across diverse clinical settings, including primary care, health and rehabilitation psychology, youth and geriatric psychiatry, infectious diseases, weight management, first-episode psychosis, and general outpatient psychology. This breadth of experience continues to inform her integrative, whole-person approach to care.
In late 2021, Dr. Beaulac expanded her private practice to create a professional life more closely aligned with her values and sense of purpose. Today, her work includes psychotherapy, clinical supervision, professional training and wellness events, as well as consultation in program development and evaluation. She is an affiliate researcher with the Centre for Research on Educational and Community Services at the University of Ottawa, has presented at national and international conferences, and has published in peer-reviewed journals.

Rachel Norman, B.A., M.Ed.
“There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.” – Fred Rogers
Rachel Norman is a Registered Psychotherapist who has been in private practice since 2019. She works with individuals navigating a range of challenges, including past trauma, life transitions, relationship strain, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and health-related concerns. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, while also being direct and practical. She offers a space where clients can be honest about what’s hard and feel supported in facing it with care, clarity, and intention.
Rachel’s work is grounded in the belief that healing and growth aren’t about avoiding discomfort, but about building steadiness, compassion, and self-trust—even when life feels uncertain. She often supports clients in reconnecting with themselves, exploring what really matters to them, and developing habits that support both mental and physical well-being.
She holds a Master’s degree in counselling psychology from Memorial University of Newfoundland and is registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). She is also a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). Her training is primarily in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE), and she works from a trauma-informed, evidence-based perspective.
Rachel offers in-person (North Bay, ON), phone, and virtual appointments, with most services covered by extended health insurance plans. She keeps her practice intentionally small in order to provide thoughtful, personalized care.
