CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world seeking and dispensing kindness, spirituality, light and love

ABOUT ME

Hi. I’m Julie but my friends call me Jewels. I spend most of my adult life in. New York City where I worked in radio and music as an advertising executive. While trying to maintain a balanced life in NYC I was fortunate enough to find yoga. Immediately, yoga gave me a sense of spirituality and calmness that was much needed in my life. A few years later, I left New York and moved to California to teach yoga. After some beautiful sun shining years as a California beach girl, I left to travel the world. I mostly stay in Koh Phangan, Thailand where I teach yoga and Reiki. But I travel a lot. 46 countries. I am enjoying the spiritual path, continuing my life joy of traveling around the world...and there is no looking back.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life with kindness and compassion.
