My work is rooted in the belief that healing and wellbeing are nurtured through rest, connection, compassion, nervous system support, and sustainable care for the whole person.
Through yoga, therapeutic support, community gatherings, and education, I aim to create spaces that feel grounding, welcoming, and deeply human.

Mindfully Made Values and Guiding Principles
Rest is respected.
In a culture that glorifies busyness, I believe rest is essential, healing and worthy of time and space.
Your body is honored.
My work blends trauma-aware practices with gentle, everyday wellness support that honors your dignity and meets you with compassion - without pressure to perform.
Gentleness is powerful.
Strength, balance, and confidence can grow through slow, accessible movement and supportive connection.
Community matters.
Retreats and gatherings are designed to foster quiet connection, shared presence, and belonging.
You are welcome as you are.
No flexibility requirements. No wellness perfection. Just a soft place to land.
Care is in the details.
Each offering is thoughtfully created with accessibility, inclusion and support at the center.

Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest for Body & Mind
Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a guided relaxation practice that invites you into a state of deep rest while remaining comfortably supported. There is no movement to learn or experience required—simply settle in, get comfortable, and be guided through a calming practice that helps quiet the mind and ease tension.
This gentle experience may support better sleep, reduced stress, and a greater sense of calm and well-being. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for a peaceful pause, Yoga Nidra offers a quiet space to rest, restore, and reconnect with yourself.

Yoga + Books
A monthly gathering under the pines where we begin with gentle yoga, then settle into conversation around books that have inspired, comforted, or challenged us.
Like nature, we honor seasons of activity and seasons of rest. Yoga & Books is resting for the summer and will return in September with a special gathering under the pines. I'd love to have you join us.
**Our September gathering will include a gentle hike to a favorite spot on the property before settling in for yoga and our book circle.
A gentle 4-week therapeutic yoga series created to support nervous system regulation, mobility, balance, breath, rest, and whole-person wellbeing. These small-group sessions will weave together therapeutic movement, grounding practices, mindfulness, and restorative support in a calm and welcoming space.
This series is designed for those navigating stress, fatigue, caregiving, neurological challenges, life transitions, or anyone seeking a slower and more supportive approach to movement and healing.
I’m Julie — an occupational therapy practitioner, registered yoga teacher, and guide for those longing for a softer way to move through life.
I create gentle, supportive spaces to slow down, rest, and reconnect — especially during seasons of stress, grief, caregiving, transition, or burnout.
I believe healing doesn’t always come from doing more, but from being met with care, compassion, and permission to soften.
Drawing from both clinical experience and gentle, accessible practices, I offer support that helps regulate the nervous system, nourish the body, and reconnect with what feels grounding, steady, and true to you.


My work is gently informed by both professional training and lived experience, including:
I continue to grow through ongoing learning in nervous system regulation, advanced yoga education, and embodied practices so I can offer spaces that feel supportive, grounded, and deeply human.
When I’m not guiding retreats, gatherings, or working in occupational therapy, you’ll often find me reading, walking in nature, running, savoring quiet mornings, or creating gentle spaces for rest, connection, and coming back to oneself.

...for a healthier immune system.
