Julianna became interested in mindbody movement at the age of 14 when she started taking pilates classes. She loved the meticulous movement, subtle detail in the engagement of muscles, and emphasis on core strength in pilates. Naturally, she became curious in yoga, and  began practicing Iygengar at 16. Trying out various styles she became drawn to non-traditional quirky vinyasa classes. Being a naturally apanaic (or “yin”) person, vinyasa flow was the perfect addition towards building a well-rounded practice. The yoga studio became a her sanctuary,

where she learned to delve deeper into the self. She believes there is a time place for all forms of practice, and enjoys exploring various styles. Her formal training was taught by teachers of various styles at including Ashtanga, Iyengar, the style formually known as Anusarya, restorative, prenatal, etc. It was very important to her to be trained by an array of people to obtain a synthesis of teaching techniques and comprehension of lineage. She has recently been drawn to breathwork for it is the core of every yoga practice.

Julianna first received hands on healing when she was 10 years old when she had an ear-ache at her parent’s party. She was mesmerized that a normal person could heal another with their hands. Time passed and she fell in love with various alternative healing modalities such as acupuncture, flower essence therapy, yoga, and herbs. Around the time she completed yoga teacher training Reiki kept popping up in her life in various forms. She knew that it Reiki was 

energy work though that was about the extent of her knowledge. Knowing almost nothing she decided that she wanted to learn everything she could about it and found her Reiki Master, Anna Royer. She completed all three levels with Anna working with her one-on-one. She uses Reiki for herself on a daily basis, and loves being able to provide healing for others. It is a life goal of hers to heal, and empower/teach others with similar interests. Reiki has profoundly changed her life.
