    Bio:


    Julia is a life coach and yoga instructor, with a mission to empower others to heal and grow so that they can start thriving. After her anxiety worsened in early 2021, Julia found out that she has complex PTSD, and started diving even deeper into understanding how to heal from trauma and to not be defined by a diagnosis. Her inspiration behind everything she does comes from her twin brother Michael, who has Down Syndrome. He taught her so much about kindness, unconditionally loving others (including yourself), having patience, and embracing new perspectives. She uses this background to create a safe, supportive space for her clients during their sessions together. Julia helps anxious and ambitious achievers break through the barriers that are preventing them from reaching their greatest heights.

A conversation you didn’t know you needed

Listening to Dan’s podcast it’s like hearing someone tell you exactly what you needed to hear right when you needed to hear it. Sometimes you don’t even know that you needed to have the conversation, but after you listen to him you realize it is exactly what your heart needed to move in a new direction. His upbeat voice and positive message sticks with you throughout the day.
