Julia became a widow on September 1, 2021 when her husband, Doug, succumbed to his lifelong battle with addiction and died of an accidental overdose, leaving her a solo mom of two boys, a new life to lead and with a desire to share her story in hopes of helping others.
Coming from a turbulent history that includes depression, anxiety, drug addiction, self harm, physical/emotional abuse, as well as disordered eating, Julia spent many years therapist offices, outpatient treatment centers, the rooms of AA, as well as Al-Anon, and finally in an inpatient treatment center that ultimately saved her life on April 1st, 2010. This place is what laid the sturdy foundation she needed to walk the road of recovery she is still on 13 years later. 
During her time there, her yoga practice began to evolve, and a deep spiritual awakening began to occur as she got honest with herself and those around her. These practices have only expanded and grown as she continues to walk through all the challenges life still tosses my way. 
She is a 500-hour trauma informed yoga teacher with extensive training in energy work and chakra alignment, yogic philosophy, as well as a deep advocate for nervous system regulation, somatic work, holistic healing modalities, and the beauty that is found through vulnerability, honesty and connection. She is a firm believer in the power of inner child healing, shadow work, breath work and meditative practices as well. She is deeply passionate about speaking out about the intricate layers that come along with losing someone to addiction to help soften the stigma, as well as providing a safe landing for those looking for support.
