I am an energy intuitive offering heart-centered intuitive readings and energy work to support you in reconnecting with yourself, your intuition, and the wisdom within your own heart. My work is rooted in compassion, presence, and creating a safe, nurturing space for you to feel seen, supported, and gently guided.

Upcoming Classes and Workshops
Kundalini Yoga & Meditation with Gong Bath on Wednesdays 4:30-5:45
Kundalini yoga is called the yoga of awareness and it is a transformative practice that is very different from other yoga practices.
The kundalini energy is your creative potential.
This yoga technology can rejuvenate your whole being and take you to another level of perception, healing, and growth which leads you back home to you, the place you have strayed from as a result of the challenges of life.
Kundalini yoga technology combines physical postures, with breath work, sound current (mantra), hand positions (mudra), and eye focus (drishdi) to tap into your creative potential and bring you back home to YOU.
If you have been looking for a transformative practice, kundalini yoga is for you.
“Julie’s way of teaching is so nourishing. She explains each part of the class so well, it’s easy to follow along. Not to mention that the way she teaches you can feel her kindness and compassion. The classes always have an intention as well. Each class I have taken has a certain purpose and is taught easily with depth and description. I often take a class and feel great for days after! I’ve been practicing and teaching Vinyasa flow for years, but I am very new to Kundalini. Vinyasa yoga is great, however, the feeling I have for days after a Kundalini classes is amazing. From the moment I leave the class I feel less stressed and literally lighted!! I am able to concentrate more and things that would usually bother me just don’t, this is the reason I return to this practice.” Brandon Piazza
