After receiving her teacher training from the Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health in the USA, Julie has continued to study with renowned teachers in the tradition of Hatha yoga, completing advanced studies in restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and an embodied approach to teaching movement using experiential anatomy and physiology with the teachings of Body-Mind Centering (BMC).

Julie went on to study Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Dynamic Attachment Repatterining Experience (DARe) in order to build the skills to work with clients healing from trauma, and since 2015 she continues to be guided by the trauma-informed approach of Peter Levine.
