Hi there! I’m Julia.
If you want to know me better, you’ll understand my stance that summing yourself up in one neat narrative feels a bit reductive, but here we are.
I am many things and many labels, including a gifted, neurodivergent, multi-hyphenate cancer survivor. INFJ, Enneagram 2,1,5, Manifesting Generator, Aries, dedicated non-conformist, highly sensitive, intuitive, Questioner, Abstainer, animist, introvert. CliftonStrengths: Input, Learner, Individualization, Empathy, Achiever. Life coach, death doula, yoga instructor, meditation facilitator, graphic designer, critical thinker, philosopher, writer, creative, and an excellent folder of clothing.
I believe true wellness lives in reconnecting to our true selves and cultivating our relationship to nature. I believe in stillness and self-reflection. I believe emotional intelligence can save the world. I believe in sloughing off societal norms in service of more authenticity. Because f*ck the haters, right?
I want to know you beyond what the world has forced you to become, and more than that, I want you to know you. I love to support fellow humans navigate life, and thereby death, in order to live a life full of intention and feel fully alive.
