Julia's retreats are like no other!

You literally leave the world as we know it behind, and enter a place of profound grace where things start happening that are meant just for you. You experience many moments of clarity, connection and a deep sense of serenity that you can carry back with you to your family and community.

- Amy S.

Julia’s retreats are so nourishing at all levels.

Her retreats are intimate and very individualized.

I love all the retreats and I crave them regularly as they allow me the loving space to let go of the craziness and busyness of life, be in stillness and focus on nourishing me (both physically and non-physically).
