Julio Santana: Spirit Guide and Mentor

When I started the company in spring of 2022 I was convinced that if you followed the same writing + grounding methods I used to change my life, your life could change, too (see original mission underneath this section).

While the practices are magical, I have since expanded my scope.

After years of one-on-one work it hit me that people generally aren’t seeking out better information or a ‘perfect’ system to improve the quality of their lives; they’re instead harboring a deep desire to be seen and feel supported.

All of my clients are entitled to a personalized plan, but above all, my job is to hold space for you wherever you’re at.

Ultimately, we are just two people collaborating on your process into self-actualization.

Maybe you want my perspective on what you’re navigating overall with no specific agenda.

Maybe you’re ready to live autonomously: free, fearless, bold, regulated, resilient.

Or maybe you got the ball rolling in your desired direction, but you’re suddenly stuck.

Regardless, the magic of our sessions comes in collapsing all judgment and focusing on the truth.

My biggest breakthroughs have come in my most raw and vulnerable sessions—sometimes there’s less words and there’s more crying. Certainly, we don’t fill the space with busy talk in order to create the illusion of productivity; silence is often more powerful a tool to register deep truths than words.

Your desired results are on the other side of how honest you’re willing to be about your process altogether.

This same principle applies to how you show up online. Hence, I also help creators and business owners align with their voice on social media in a way that strengthens their impact.

See if any of the following apply:

You’ve been in talk therapy for a while but feel stagnant.

You’re successful ‘on paper’ but something’s off.

You’re a high achiever struggling to get over the hump.

You’re a business owner or creator struggling to break through on social media.

Schedule with me here.

The Original Mission (Spring 2022)

“The purpose of Psychological Welfare is to help you utilize the power of your mind more effectively. Specifically, to support progress toward your goals. Not only is a focused mind  foundational to success, but knowing how and when to quiet the mind. 


First, we will determine whether my services are appropriate for you via an open ended questionnaire.


If I am confident that Psychological Welfare is an appropriate fit, we will focus on two specific conditions: first, you will determine with clarity what you truly want out of life; then, we will devise a specific plan to help you transform your mind, such that it promotes progress toward the goals you have chosen. 

Specifically, you will utilize writing to help declutter your unconscious mind, then you will ‘plant seeds’ in it intentionally. 


1) Decluttering frees up space for you to think more clearly, allowing you to pinpoint what you want out of life and how to acquire it.

2) ‘Planting seeds’ (via writing) allows you to concentrate on qualities you would benefit from developing in order to accomplish your specific goals.”

Note From Coach (Spring 2022)

“Since exiting the classroom formally, I have studied psychology, business, and spirituality extensively. My ultimate goal is to assist others in tapping into the very powers I have psychologically, such that they are better equipped to attain the lifestyle they sincerely desire. 

There is so much free information at everyone’s disposal, but most of us are still struggling to find stability, peace, and clarity. I’ve spent years studying, writing, thinking, experiencing, searching for these things. And I have been fortunate enough to find simple, practical methods that have improved the quality of my life significantly. Regardless of any ‘successes’ or ‘failures’ you’ve experienced, if you’re willing to be honest with yourself, and have a sincere ambition to change, Psychological Welfare will tip you in that direction. 

The best part is, I won’t keep you around for long; my methods are strategically practical and simple such that dozens of sessions aren’t required for you to gain value. I want your ‘training wheels’ removed sooner rather than later, and certainly have no interest in perpetuating stagnation.

I know what it’s like to struggle financially. Live paycheck to paycheck, and have more debt to my name than money or assets. Just like I know what it’s like to struggle with my mental health, and have to work everyday to ease stress and tension; all in a quest for peace—amongst a wide array of other challenges. I am eternally grateful for the doors that have opened as a result of my studies and practices over the years; in my trial and error; in my patience; and all my successes and my failures.” - Julio
