A Note From Julie

"Healing is not a destination — it is a lifelong journey. I am honored to walk alongside individuals and communities as they navigate that path."

For more than 20 years, I have worked in mental health, Indigenous wellness, suicide prevention, trauma healing, education, and community engagement. My work is grounded in the belief that culture, relationships, and community are powerful sources of strength.

Whether providing counseling and wellness coaching, speaking at conferences, partnering on community-based research, or consulting with organizations, my goal is to create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered.

Miigwech for visiting.

Let's create opportunities for healing together.

For speaking inquiries, consulting opportunities, research collaborations, or counseling questions — I'd love to hear from you.
