Hello I’m Julia ...
 Me and therapy dog!
From Liverpool, and living there with my Cornish husband and two Jack Russells, one, a therapy dog and the other exceptionally cheeky.
I help people calm their mind, soothe their soul and heal their life. I first realised I could do this 25 years ago when I was training as counsellor and learning Reiki and at the same time, navigating my way back to balanced health through a debilitating health crisis called M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), which took me 9 years. When I truly look way-way-back, I had been calming minds and soothing souls since I was a young girl as I always wanted to help people and animals feel better emotionally and would regularly find an innovative way to encourage, inspire and nudge them forward, through writing, art, performance, expression and music. I noticed that whilst I was holistically trying to work my own way out of that awful health problem, I was in fact supporting, encouraging and empowering others who were struggling with their own physical or emotional crisis. |

How can I help you?
I am a Reiki Master Teacher, Muse Mentor, and Therapeutic Artist - listening and supporting people who feel out of balance, out of whack, tired all the time, stressed out, anxious or dealing with a very low experiences, whether that be the impact of a physical health issue or emotional situation that is impacting their life. My intention has always been to walk by your side, encouraging you to find your own way back and offer up a selection of creative tools and holistic approaches that I used during my own journey when I was ill with ME back in my 20s.
My deep desire is to help you become your own Guide/Healer, and to feel you have tools to navigate your own journey. To add to this and to support you I create therapeutic art, Reiki Designs and Muse Mantras for daily mindfulness, this sees me designing products around energising and rebalancing reiki to nourish and support you in your day to day lives.
I have always loved drawing and you'll find me pretty much seated amongst a stash of coloured pens, pencils, markers, inks, watercolours, gouache and acrylics, collaging items, scissors, glue stick, paint and canvas.
A long standing vegetarian, huge dog lover and animal advocate, my art will always have vibrations of the animals that are mistreated, endangered and abused. Along side that, creating stress related products to help the humans feel better about themselves is where I'm at too!
I work in traditional illustrative media using watercolour, professional markers, pens, pencils, and inks to create my innovative illustrations.

I was lucky ...
I emerged from that ill health tunnel when I was 29, it was a long slog to wellness, pretty much the whole of my 20s – a HUGE crisis but one that taught me many things about health, wellbeing, therapies and healing (and people and relationships and family ...... I could go on) I learnt that our health experiences are vast and deeply connected, one can’t be separated from the other. I found my way out because I became my own private investigator, I sought out support from such a wide range of practitioners, yet I also took personal responsibility for trying to shift things within me. I researched and read so much around complementary therapies and western medicine, I gained an Honours degree in Health to explore it from all modalities and the routes to wellness, I qualified as a Counsellor and my adult education teachers qualification. I taught Health within colleges and university. I went on to be attuned to Reiki and combine many different holistic practices into my business.
I found my way back.
I found my way back.
Most of the time I felt alone in a bubbleI had no-one to turn to, no-one who had overcome a crisis in this way, I had to fathom it all out and this was pre-Google. I had to resort to libraries and the yellow pages! Yet, I developed and created some fundamental practices, my Seven Ways to Wellness, which are the bedrock for my life and for living.
I really don’t want people to feel alone like I did, so I took all that I experienced and now help people to feel more balanced, calm and soothed. I have gone on to be healthy and well for the past 20 years, I have had ups and downs but never returned back to that dark place. As I step into my fifth decade, I intend to embrace this new age and all its hormonal health challenges that are presenting themselves daily, living and breathing my 7 Ways to Wellness, because they are just as important to me now as they were 29 years ago. I want to create transformations for you so that you can become your own guide and find your balance.

Here's how we can work together
Maybe in the first instance you want to experience an in person or remote Reiki session for yourself or for your animal, for relaxation and calm.
Muse Mantra Magical Art is a therapeutic audio visual journey to capture an energy snapshot of your Inner Muse. I offer Soul Readings and Healings, which help you to find your centre and reconnect back to who you are. I have taken over 300 women and men through some deep diving awareness journeys of self reflection, with the completed Muse serving as an anchor for well-being - a totem for guidance and nourishment. This is a very unique and healing self development process that helps to calm minds and soothe souls. You may feel you're out of sync, your health is suffering, you're struggling, take a look here and look at the 3 different packages I offer. If you would rather have the Healing Muse Mentoring without the Anchored Muse Portrait, let's start there - hop over here to see how we can begin.
Currently I am writing my 4th book by revisiting many of the people I have drawn to find out if the Muse is still in their lives and if she/he made a difference. This is so exciting as it's a 10 year anniversary next year 2020, since I discovered my love of drawing again whilst on a 6 month trip in France. Check out my current books, Muse Mantra Colouring Meditation, and my two career coaching books on Amazon. I am also writing (I know crazy hey) my book Healing Me Healing You which is my story of how I found my way back to wellness from M.E when I was in my 20s. It also contains a wonderful programme called ReBalance Me, which takes you through my 7 Ways to Wellness.
You can commission me to draw members of your corporate team and staff, which is so much fun and a fabulous creative activity, bringing the team together, bonding, and supporting communication - ultimately it has the same deep underlying therapeutic purpose ~ it is just pitched in a different way.
I have drawn wedding guests and wedding stationery, worked with authentic business entrepreneurs on their graphics and design and educators, creating flyers, business cards, online graphics, avatars. I have illustrated book covers for clients and and lots of different marketing material.
I am SO excited also to finally be attuning others to Reiki by organising Reiki attunements and training. Send me an email if you have been thinking about being attuned to Reiki 1. Being attuned to Reiki and learning how to self heal on a daily basis, is a real game changer. Using it for yourself is one of the greatest things you can do to calm your own mind and soothe your own soul, plus those in your family, animals, colleagues you work with, clients, customers, community (and of course sharing this energy with other people and the earth.) Things happen when you peel back the layers and the veil, if you stop the outside noise and clutter and connect to yourself, you can take back the reigns of your own wellbeing and wellness.
I am the creator and designer behind Reiki Designs which turns my reikituned and supercharged art work into products that you can use, wear and feel, so you feel lighter and brighter. Over the next couple of months I will be adding these items into my shop as I partner with a UK/EU based manufacturer. Attuning Reiki into my original art, adding symbols and blessings into the many layers means you receive a healing by proxy (a remote Reiki healing). Five years ago I designed the very first Muse Mantra Deck, which were sold all over the world and now they're coming back in the next couple of months. Woo Hoo. They're nostalgic item and I'm also in production to create TMMD #2.
I'm really pleased also to make my course available as self paced modules for you to access. The Magic Chair is a video course where I guide you how to create a daily peace and quiet practice. I'll also be bringing Vision with the Muse and Birthday Beautiful to this portal in the next few months.
30 years ago, I was finding my way back from a debilitating health problem, which pretty much took up the entire decade, I found my health again, aged 29. Now my life's mission is supporting you, I have given up trying to find a word that describes what I do. I want to share this story as a Guest Speaker whilst also bringing all my knowledge and tools by offering Workplace Wellbeing Sessions to shine a light and help you to connect to your own healer within, switch back on your own wisdom.
Having 30+ years of experience working within therapeutic, educational, corporate and retail settings, I'm here to help you swing back into alignment.

The Official Bio
Julia has a 2.1 honours degree in Health from Liverpool John Moores University. A City & Guilds 7307 Further Education Teacher’s Certificate, Diploma in Counselling and NLP practitioner certification as well as being a Reiki Master Teacher, Chakra Balancing Practitioner and Meditation Practitioner. She is currently writing her 4th book, called ReBalance Me, which she hopes, will help others to become their own private investigator and become their own healer, finding their way back to rebalancing.
Having spent 25+ years working within educational settings, in career guidance and coaching, as well as personal tutoring, she decided to create some study books to help individuals with their own applications to university and for the job market because she had spent many years delivering presentations about applying to university and then coaching clients in writing application forms and writing their CV. It seemed very natural to write a book. In April 2011, her first book was published: Writing a UCAS Personal Statement in Seven Easy Steps and in July 2012, the second book: Creating Your First Ever CV in Seven Easy Steps. Take a look at them here >>>
In 2018 Julia published Muse Mantra Colour Meditations, you can order it here on Amazon. She designed this book with 76 Muse Mantras to colour-in. Colouring is a great way to switch off and whilst usually an activity usually reserved for children, it is proven that colouring can help alleviate tension and stress in adults. Use the colouring experience to create a calm moment in your daily life.
From 2011 -2017 Julia was an external marker for the World of Work Programme at Liverpool John Moores University, here she critiqued and marked personal statements from Home and International students. She supported students through the university application process, guiding them to write their personal statement, as well as mentoring individuals who want to create their first ever CV and find the right career path, using the skill set that they have. She went on to offer training and workshops to students with the World of Work programme.
Julia has been the Blogger and Internal Verifier for Counselling Training Liverpool, as well as managing, administrating their website and newsletter. Julia has worked very closely over the past 4 years with Anna Joti Low from The School of Fine Tuning on her marketing and business identity.
She also supports therapists, counsellors, healers, practitioners with their business, supporting them with their own marketing tools by creating graphics and designs, for logos, business cards, flyers, postcards, Facebook covers and avatars, websites and campaigns.
