Hey, I'm Julie!

I've been passionate and tuned into helping others for as long as I can remember. I've always been the friend who wants to listen and help another person and listen when they're down, and I love sharing information when I learn about something that lights me up! 

​

In 2020, I discovered Reiki through a friend and began getting my attunements, as well as starting my yoga teacher training after having my own yoga practice for about a year. It was the perfect time for training, because we were all stuck inside with the COVID pandemic hitting. Through these trainings I had found a sliver of my life's passion, which was helping others heal and find a sense of grounding in their bodies. I had seen and felt how amazing these were for my own healing and wellness, and how I could do so much for others who needed it.

 

I eventually added knowledge of herbal medicine and menstrual cycle wisdom to my repetiore, studying through a local apothecary in Sturbridge MA, with Rosemary gladstar's training program. What led me to take my herbal apprenticeship in the first place was actually my own struggles with PMDD within my cycle at the time, and I had an intuitive knowing that I'd find some natural support and healing with herbs. I don't regret that decision at all, as I've found amazing herbal allies that I use daily, and a deep love of all of the things mother nature has gifted us for health! It's not just the herbal allies that have helped my cycle though, It's also been learning a lot about how the cycle works, changing language and thoughts about my cycle, and planning life around my cycles to best support where my energy and mood may be at so I can function best for what I have planned. It's quite an amazing thing to tune in to! A special thank you goes to my mentor, Leah who started me in my deeper understanding of the cycle also. 

​

Amidst being in love with knowledge and trainings that called to me, I also discovered women's circles in 2022 and how amazing it is to be in a space with women where you get to hear others stories and share a sliver of your own. Since I started attending women's circles, I knew I'd end up having my own too. Magic happens when women gather, and things magically heal when we share in circle.

 

Fast forward to 2023, I found myself in a birth doula training with Debra pascali-bonaro of Orgasmic birth, learning to support pregnant and birthing women in their journey of bringing life into the world. I absolutely loved Debra and her passion for what she teaches, and I left that training feeling so empowered and inspired! Birth is absolutely amazing, and I look forward to all of the birthing people I will get the honor of supporting and witnessing in their birth. 

​

Everything I do, I do it through my love and passion of giving others knowledge and the tools to create better relationship to their body, empowerment, and a deeper sense of self!
