About Julie

Julie is “dark rich moist soil, like the kind seeds crave”.
~ Danielle LaPorte

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

What do I really want you to know about me?

I do what I do because I love it. My work is my Work (with the Big W); meaning, it’s the gift I’m here to give.

We all have one. A gift to give. In my experience, the gift isn’t so much a ‘doing’, but rather a way of ‘being’.

The gift is given when one is being wholly oneself, fully embodied and fully expressed.

In the Sufi tradition, it’s called the Jewel. The Jewel is what we are filled with when we open to life, and it’s what radiates from us. It’s what we give effortlessly.

Non-Traditional

I’ve lived a very non-traditional life. I became a mother at 17 and a widow at 38. I graduated with my BS at 45, after my first grandchild was born. I studied abroad with students half my age. I know what it’s like to be different, to have lived life differently.

I love to dance, write, practice yoga.

I love math.

And, I enjoy a good ride on the carousel with my granddaughter, and cuddling and reading with my grandsons.

You’ll find my bio and others’ rave reviews about me helpful ways to fill in the picture of who I am.
