About Julien Lepage
Guiding Your Healing Journey Through Rhythm & Connection
Welcome to Castle Wellness, a space dedicated to helping individuals, groups, and organizations find their rhythm in healing and growth. I’m Julien Lepage—a Registered Social Worker (BSW, MSW Leadership), trauma specialist, and lifelong drummer. With over 15 years of experience in mental health and wellness, I integrate evidence-based therapies with the transformative power of rhythm, breathwork, and sound to guide you toward balance and resilience.
My Approach: The Rhythm of Healing
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reconnecting to your natural rhythm. I help you become your own ‘human scientist,’ tuning into your body, mind, and values through a client-led, trauma-informed approach. My methods combine:
Evidence-Based Therapies
ART, DBT, ACT, CBT, IFS, and more to support healing and personal growth.
Sound & Rhythm-Based Wellness
Gongs, bowls, drumming, and breathwork to regulate the nervous system.
Indigenous Wisdom
Teachings inspired by the Medicine Wheel and Nature’s cycles for holistic balance.
Mindful Leadership
Guiding individuals and teams with adaptability, authenticity, and vision.
Together, we create a safe and empowering space where all parts of you are welcome.

Beyond the Work
Fun Facts About Me
🎵 Drumming is my heartbeat—I’ve played since I was 10, and it continues to be my go-to for stress relief and connection.
🌙 I follow moon cycles and nature’s rhythms, believing that healing is deeply connected to the world around us.
🔥 I’m fascinated by the dance between ego and soul, always exploring how we balance growth and self-awareness.
🌱 When I’m not working, you’ll find me in nature, recharging by the river, in the forest, or simply enjoying quiet moments.
Let's Connect
Healing and growth are a journey, and I’d be honored to guide you along the way. Whether you’re looking for personal healing, a team-building experience, or a wellness event, Castle Wellness is here to help.
We were looking for something unique for our team, and this experience exceeded our expectations. It was fun, meaningful, and left a lasting impact on how we work together.
This session broke down barriers, encouraged real communication, and got us working together in a way we’ve never experienced before.
One of the best team-building experiences we’ve ever had — it was joyful, profound, and left our team re-energized and connected.
