Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! I believe real healing begins when we have the space to slow down, listen, and reconnect with ourselves.

Through yoga, breath, meditation, therapeutic sound, and retreats, I create experiences that invite people back to a place of greater ease, presence, and wholeness.

For more than two decades I've worked in the healing arts, weaving together movement, therapeutic touch, meditation, sound, and breath into experiences that honor each person's unique journey.

An important part of my work takes place within the community. I bring accessible yoga, mindful movement, breath, meditation, and therapeutic sound practices to people in substance use recovery settings. I also teach experiential courses through the Lifelong Learning department at Brookdale Community College, exploring practices such as breathwork, guided meditation, voice, crystal bowls, and gong.

I believe community can act as a mirror, helping us recognize ourselves in one another and ultimately find our way back home to ourselves.

Music is another meaningful expression of this work. I am a member of Monks Pond (@monkspond_drone), an Asbury Park based sonic collective creating ambient, ritualistic, psychedelic, cinematic, and meditative soundscapes. Within the band, I contribute voice and mantra, shruti, gong, chimes and other therapeutic sound instruments. Our improvisational performances invite deep listening, inner awareness, and a shared communal experience. Our music is available on all major streaming platforms.

If you feel called to work with me one-on-one, I offer virtual private sessions designed to meet you where you are. Together, we may draw from breath, intentional movement, meditation, sound, and grounded holistic support, creating space for you to reconnect with yourself and what you need in this season of your life.

Testimonials:

I have been working with Julie for over a year now. She is a kind and compassionate healer who leverages a broad range of tools to bring about positive change. Whether it is Reiki, sound healing or mantra chanting, her talented use of these tools always leaves me with a feeling of ground calm which facilitates deep healing. ~ John M.

I so enjoyed the vocal resonance & healing series. Thank you for providing such an amazing learning experience and chance to connect with likeminded individuals. I’ve told so many about the event. I really enjoyed learning about the various sound-based practices like vocal toning, chanting, and the use of instruments and practicing in a small group setting. It lifted my mood, provided techniques for emotional healing and I found it to be a great fit for meditation for me, as someone with an ear for music. The medicine songs were especially impactful. Ho’oponopono was by far my favorite and really meaningful to me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, gifts & talents. You are an amazing human. ~ Leigh C.

Attending Julie’s healing through vocal resonance and sound was remarkable. This being something out of my comfort zone, Julie made it attainable, fun and engaging. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn and expand their knowledge on how to use their voice to attend this workshop. Julie is personable and you will learn so much, especially if you open our mind and heart to this. ~ Charise F.
