I’m Julia. I grew up in a multilingual household in rural France to British and German parents.

From a young age, I was a bookworm, spellbound by storytelling and fascinated by the breadth and depths of human experience, so much so that I entered writing competitions without my parents’ knowledge.

It therefore came as no surprise when I started my professional career telling corporate stories, through Corporate Communications and Public Relations.

And it’s that busy career that eventually led me to Yoga and Therapy.

When I discovered yoga, it helped my busy mind so much that I knew I wanted to share the practice with others. So in 2018, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in London, and have attended numerous complimentary courses and workshops since (including Breathwork, Advanced Anatomy, and Yoga for Sports and Children’s Yoga).

It was also my high-pressure professional life that originally made me personally turn to therapy, and I’ve since tried and tested many modalities including: person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Rapid Transformational Therapy, somatic psychotherapy and Awareness Facilitation. All have been incredibly helpful at building my mental health toolkit, and my capacity to navigate the pressures of everyday life.

But it’s not until I started managing people that I realised how much I enjoyed supporting my team members to not just deliver their best work, but to feel good and fulfilled while doing so. And thus I felt pulled to begin my own journey to become a professionally trained counsellor, a NCFE-accredited qualification I completed in 2023.

Since 2021, I’ve also been continuing to pursue my career in Communications remotely, while exploring the world as a digital nomad.
