Mindful Sojourner
...a Sojourner is a person who resides temporarily in a place. A Mindful Sojourner recognizes the temporary nature of all things and is able to allow themselves the gift of being intentionally aware in the moment, and all that the moment offers, the light and the dark, the difficult and the joyous, the desired and undesired…because you truly can’t appreciate one without the other

"Julie is teacher who truly embodies her message. She exudes humility and wisdom in a way that only a teacher who has walked the path of a student can. Julie represents both the "head" and "heart" of the Mindful Self-Compassion program. She is very knowledgeable of the science and research supporting the MSC curriculum and teaches it in a relatable, understandable way. She also leads the experiential activities and meditations in a tender, wholehearted, and competent manner, which creates the safety participants need to dive deep and approach their own hearts. I encourage anyone, who has the opportunity, to train with Julie."
The curriculum was very hands-on and experiential. It was safe yet it challenged me. The material felt authentic and resonated with me on many different levels, intellectually, emotionally and physically!

More Testimonials...“I loved finding my voice of self-compassion! Thank you for this training. You are a wonderful, wise and graceful teacher” “In Julie’s MSC, Creating Compassionate Community, I learned to relate differently to my inner critic. I’ve never thought of it being helpful before, but now I see it coming from a place of care but executing poorly. I also learned that self-criticism isn’t motivational and all the other things I’ve been using to stay stuck in this feedback loop of shame and self loathing are not working either. Julie has a gift for this!” “The curriculum was very hands-on and experiential. It was safe yet it challenged me. The material felt authentic and resonated with me on many different levels, intellectually, emotionally and physically!” “It was so powerful learning that I can choose how to respond to my feelings mindfully, giving space, accepting and allowing my feelings before needing to respond. Learning that how I treat myself is very important and effects how I am able to interact with others. With MSC I am able to take more healthy risks and get out of my comfort zone! This was very wonderful, thank you for providing these opportunities!!”
