I am an author, strategist and guide driving deeper synergy between design, innovation, and earth-based healing.
I’ve helped hundreds of individuals, groups, and organizations awaken to the regenerative healing powers of nature in order to create more harmony in their lives and work.
I’m endlessly inspired by and devoted to the Earth
I’m the author of The Healing Magic of Forest Bathing, a guide to connecting to nature as a way to heal yourself, your community, and the planet. Deepak Chopra called it, “an inviting work that will assuage even the busiest minds,” and Dr. Qing Li called it, “a must-read for anyone feeling disconnected from nature and life.”
I’m also the founder of The Forest Bathing Club.

“Julia is wise beyond her years. She is gentle, compassionate, powerful and strong. Her deep knowledge of the sacred, along with her natural intuitive abilities, empowered me to take bold steps in my healing journey. I feel more confident in my own abilities as a teacher, leader, and healer. Julia's gentle, nurturing, yet powerful approach allowed me to see what had been blocking me.”

“Julia’s work as a designer, strategist, and facilitator sits at the heart of the most important ethical question of our time: how do we design for the healthy integration of humanity, technology, and nature. She is uniquely qualified through both her professional experiences at leading design firms and her personal experience moving through an un-sought initiation with the Earth, to help you design products and experiences that create significant values, of many kinds, over the long term. Hiring her will likely leave you a wiser person better equipped to make choices toward a world you’d be proud to leave behind.”

“Julia is an incredible sharp and holistic brand and design partner. I’ve been fortunate to work with Julia on multiple projects for multiple businesses I operate. Julia has a unique capacity to quickly distill the essence of a brand story, and her skill in copy writing, brand voice and strategy, and startup background meant she was able to help at both the high-level of where I wanted to take my brand vision and in tactical details including making detailed updates to my website look, feel, and architecture."

“Julia is the person you want on your team as you step into the unknown. She'll stand by your side, offer encouragement and support, and always remind you that the wisdom you seek is already inside of you. I can't recommend working with her enough.”

“Julia invited and made an open safe container to explore nature/self and self expression. She shared the process and held the edges of the container in a way that allowed me to freely explore and share. The collaborative idea — collective versus 'topdown' model felt very true and integrated with the nature of nature.”

“I feel like I have grown by trusting more. Trusting that I have the answers I am seeking within me, trusting that I am connected even when I may not feel so, and trust in the bigger perspective of the Universe. Julia is kind, intuitive, and holds space for you to find/acknowledge your own lessons.”
