Journey into the heart of mindfulness, meditation and self-compassion.


The world will tell you: Do it this way, work harder, be better, more beautiful, more successful! Are you  tired of following that dead end street that never seems to provide true happiness?

Your monkey mind will tell you:  not good enough, there is never enough, I am never enough!  Have you had enough of this incessant looping that only creates suffering, pain and anxiety? 

Are you yearning to feel a connection to something higher, something greater, and to feel a truth that is LOVING, freeing, and infinite. Are you aching to create an inner world that is compassionate, loving and kind? Are you ready to show up for that fully?

I have something that might help you to create this world for yourself. Allow me to tell you a bit of my story first. 

Seventeen years ago, I was so depressed I could barely function. I had all the ingredients that life tells you creates happiness, and yet I felt none. I just felt numbed out, broken, and empty. "There has to be a better way," I thought. "Life has to be more fulfilling than this!" I committed to a daily meditation practice, not even knowing how to meditate! I just felt that there was something there, something I was to learn and know. I had tried to meditate in the past, based on Eastern meditation techniques, and they all felt like an adult version of quiet time to me. I didn't understand the allure of meditation. So, I decided to just be grateful for a few minutes every morning, to read some inspiring texts, and to journal. I called that my meditation practice.

Two weeks into my practice, while in my daily gratitude prayer, I felt this sense of warmth and energy flood my body. I felt at peace. I paused to drink that in.... it had been so long since I had felt that way! In that singular pause, that rest-note, Life/God was able to penetrate my mind... & something so utterly beautiful happened: I fell into timelessness. I ceased to be. I was everything and nothing. There was no longer suffering or pain, there was just pure peace and space and love. I was so in awe! What felt like an hour later, my mind kicked in and thought, "OOOOOOOH THIS IS MEDITATION!!!!" As soon as I had that thought, I popped out of that space and back into Julie-ness. Turns out it had only been 3 minutes. That 3 minutes changed my entire life. 

I ended up meditating daily for a year straight, learning how to return to that space, exploring it, and watching as alllll my human-ness came up for review (as I was finally listening!). I was angry. I was sad. I was confused about my purpose. I was in pain over my relationship. I did not feel right about pushing thoughts away in meditation, instead, I wanted to use that space to work it all out... to really see what was going on! I was taught how to hold my human-ness, how to love it, how to learn from it... and how to simultaneously know that I am NOT that. I was taught the truth of my nature, and developed an unshakeable sense of being loved, held, and guided. 

AND I WANT TO TAKE YOU THERE :-) 

Meditation has been a core foundational practice for me for most of my adult life. I share this practice with every client, and in every course I offer. It accomplishes more than 10 years of therapy, or more than a library of self-help books. Everything you are seeking from the outside world, is found first within! When you access that state of abundance, of joy, of love from the inside, it cannot be taken away from you...  rather it informs you, it re-wires years of false beliefs, it fills you up, and eventually it out-pictures as your very life. 

If you feel a YES for bringing this sacred practice into your own life, and are ready to commit in a deep way,  I invite you to join me for a private, 40-Day Meditation Journey. 

WHAT HAPPENS IN A PRIVATE 40-DAY MEDITATION JOURNEY?

​Each week, we meet for a 60-minute session that includes guided meditation practice + teaching/mentoring of mindfulness and self-awareness/compassion. You will receive a 99-page workbook complete with weekly exercises and readings, plus a unique guided meditation each week. All downloadable and yours to keep and return to again and again. ​

In this 7-week private journey, we will explore:
  • Different meditation techniques, and finding the unique path that works for you.
  • How to sit with challenging emotions/experiences with non-judgment and a deep sense of listening. 
  • Practicing non-attachment, aka- you are not your dress size (or your body, even)!
  • Recognizing and re-wiring core negative beliefs, and re-wiring them toward that which is loving and life-affirming. 
  • Using meditation, affirmation and ceremony to claim a new way of being that is authentic and aligned with who you really are. 
  • Practicing self-love.
  • Building a more peaceful, joyful and mindful foundation for your life. 

This is a deep and profound journey that will completely transform you, if you surrender yourself fully to this path. Your stuff will come up, your mind will rebel, your ego will tempt you to stop. But if you keep going, you will find the freedom, the peace, and the self-compassion that you have been searching for. I will be there to support you every step of the way. 

** A special component to this journey, is that I offer daily support via Voxer (an app that allows us to leave messages to one another). If you have a question, or a challenge, you will have the ability to reach out and share. Meditation is such a foundational practice to living an awake and aware life, and if you are willing to commit deeply to this, than I am willing to commit deeply to supporting you. 

Private, 7-week journey: $1450
2-pay: $725
​Sign up with a friend and journey together! $725/pp
Got more friends? I conduct this journey for up to 6 folks.  We can talk more in our consultation. 

First step is to reach out for a private, 20-minute consultation to see if this is the aligned journey for you at this time.
