Julia was born and brought up in Zimbabwe. From a very young age she was curious about the relationship between subtle energies and the dynamic life forces in nature, with a fascination in the body’s ability to adapt and heal.
Since childhood Julia has had a strong desire to help and would offer to ‘massage’ friends and family. She was drawn to alternative remedies, from homeopathy to traditional herbs.
In 2000 her father was injured in a car accident and suffered a severe head injury and Julia spent every possible minute visiting him in ICU. By holding his head in her hands she believed with every cell in her body that he could recover. He did.
On leaving Zimbabwe she was effected by depression and grief at being separated from her family and home. She completed a degree in Fine Art, trained as a Steiner teacher and later her travels took her to Egypt where she studied Reiki and began a deeper exploration into raw food, and natural heath.
While juggling the demands of parenting, Julia explored an array of healing modalities from psychotherapy, traditional Chinese herbals and acupuncture, hypnosis, T.R.E. and grief ritual. She has sat in ceremony with sacred plant medicine and practices meditation and yoga daily.
Her realisation happened on receiving Myo from Jacquie, where all of the previous attempts to heal and reconnect with something within herself seemed to pale in comparison.
The body was able to release what it had been holding onto, to a point that it could begin its healing. Aches, pains and brain fog began to disappear and as the weight of old, unresolved traumas lifted, the inspiration to help and support others has returned with vitality.
