Julie grew up in a Caribbean American household, with her extended family at the center of all activities. With a strong, faith based family surrounding her, Julie developed a sensitivity toward spiritual life and learned to grow genuine, personal connections through movement awareness practices and meditation training.
She travelled throughout the world in her early twenties and obtained her BA in Nepal, with her studies focused on dance and healing. She spent her early twenties living in Indigenous farming communities later to join communities and develop healing centers in California.
She created Healing Traditions blending her Ayurvedic studies with movement programs. She is founder of move 2 Change, a culmination of her studies and teaching dance, Pilates, Yoga and Somatic practices which shaped her life and created the foundation to her approach toward a movement based lifestyle.
Julie is Stott and NCPC Certified as well as a Master Trainer for Club Pilates. She is founder and owner of move 2 Change, Sebastopol where she works with clients individually in groups to help them reach their full capacity as movers and educators. She considers herself a facilitator of experiences through self awareness movement practices that lead to increased connection, ease and self love.
