About Juliana Maduforo

A Journey of Healing & Purpose

I am a Neuropsychotherapist and Registered Nurse specializing in PTSD, clinical trauma, OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. With additional training in marriage, couple, and family therapy, as well as postgraduate certifications in trauma recovery, I bring a holistic and integrative approach to healing. My work combines biology, psychology, and spirituality to help individuals and groups find meaning, build healthier relationships, and reclaim hope after pain.

Through my professional practice, research, and personal life experiences, I have witnessed that healing is possible and worth it. I believe that life is not random, that each person's existence has purpose, and that when people understand their brain, body, and inner world, they can begin to embrace themselves without judgment.

Philosophy & Approach

At Sacred Space Therapeutic Ministry, health is our natural condition.

Illness is a disruption in the flow of things, a dis-ease, an undue tension, friction or stress. Healing is a return to our natural condition, ease, wholeness, harmony, balance, unity, peace and flow. Healing is the state of being unbroken and undamaged. Hence, we take a holistic approach to health and wellness:

🧬

Biological

Understanding how the brain and body work together in trauma and recovery. Neuropsychotherapy provides insights into how our nervous system responds to stress, how memories are stored, and how healing occurs at the neurological level.

Brain-body connection
Neurological healing pathways
Somatic responses to trauma
Evidence-based interventions

🧠

Psychological

Offering tools to navigate thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through compassionate exploration, we learn to understand our patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop healthier ways of relating to ourselves and others.

Cognitive behavioral strategies
Emotional regulation skills
Trauma processing techniques
Relationship dynamics

🙏

Spiritual

Drawing on the principles of meaning, connection, and purpose that exist across creation. This dimension addresses our need for significance, our place in the larger story, and the values that guide our lives.

Purpose and meaning-making
Values clarification
Connection to something greater
Hope and resilience

"This threefold approach creates a safe, sacred space where individuals can process their pain, experience restoration, and step into lives of freedom and purpose."

Professional Experience

My professional journey spans hospital settings, therapeutic practice, research, and community ministry. This diverse background allows me to integrate medical knowledge with psychological insight and spiritual wisdom. I have worked extensively in trauma-informed care, conducting research on integrative models of health, and developing programs that address the whole person.

As a Medical Missionary, I've witnessed firsthand the universal need for compassionate care that honors cultural context, personal faith, and the resilience of the human spirit. This experience deeply informs my approach to therapy and ministry.

A Personal Commitment

Sacred Space Therapeutic Ministry reflects my own ongoing healing journey, informed by faith, culture, and a deep respect for human resilience. I understand what it means to navigate pain, to question, to seek answers, and to gradually find wholeness again.

This ministry is built on the conviction that healing happens in relationship—with ourselves, with others, with our Creator, and with the natural world around us. It is a space where scientific knowledge meets lived experience, where professional expertise is offered with humility and compassion.

Sacred Space Therapeutic Ministry is a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. We honor each person's pace and process of healing, while promoting empathy, understanding, and mutual growth.

"If you value holistic healing and the integration of body, mind, and spirit, I invite you to connect and join this journey toward wholeness." — Juliana Maduforo
