About Julianne

As a writer, teacher, and coach, I wear multiple ‘hats’ but they are all intertwined.

I am a writer because that is what my creative spirit guides me to do. I love to research other times and places, ones that, for some mysterious reason, I feel a connection to.  When I write, I can weave my emotions, personal history, ways of experiencing the world, and the ideas I’ve encountered and absorbed into a story or essay that holds truth. I write to make order out of chaos, open my inner world, and enter a sacred space where I am not alone but in communion with a compelling and benevolent force. As author and theologian Matthew Fox says, “Creativity happens at the border between chaos and order.” Creativity is a mystical experience, a union, a place  where the divine and the human imagination can meet.

I teach college writing, which is creative and allows me to share what I’ve learned. Plus, I love my students’ energy and enthusiasm. My students come from many different countries, and I can learn about different world views.

I am a  Professional Certified Coach because I want to help people improve their focus, tap into their creativity, and use their strengths and talents to do meaningful work.

My desire to become a coach evolved out of my life experiences, teaching work, and a strong background in spirituality, creativity, and human potential.

As well as using the coaching skills I received during my training, I like to incorporate mindfulness, meditation, and writing in the coaching process. As a long-time yoga and meditation practitioner, I have received numerous teachings from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, and other masters. I am also a Certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher. I know how important it is to train the mind.

Practicing mindfulness and meditation helps you open to inner guidance and remain calm and focused. Writing lets you explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight, clarify goals, and record your progress.

Every life has a purpose, and everyone is equally important. Regardless of your age or situation, each of you has talents and abilities that are unique to you. I want to help you stay true to your own path.

We are all moving through successive changes, and I want to support you in making these changes positive.
