"I have noticed that when really powerful transformational experiences have come my way, BIG resistance comes up first. Well the first workshop with Julia's Breath of Love was no exception. I had such difficulty getting to the workshop and it was in a place I had been to many times. At one point I said to myself 'All this difficulty just means real change is about to happen and there is a BIG payoff on the otherside'. I was so right. But not in a way that I could feel ahead of time, because the experience was simply off my scale! First of all Julia embodies everything I imagine a true healer to be: present, compassionate and incredibly loving. As she floated around the room with all that light around her she was truly an angelic vision. And the breathing technique is simple. The energy got stronger and stronger until I thought I would not be able to accept it, SO much love energy! Her sweet voice kept guiding me to accept all that love until I could. I felt safe and restored. I felt belongingness. I could barely share my experience with the group as I was in a profound non-verbal state of consciousness. Words would have diffused the experience. What else can I say except everyone should do this at least once in their lives!" - Deborah Stein, business consultant, Dallas, TX.

"Julia’s was the first “breathing workshop” (of any kind!) that I have attended. The workshop plus the private session was, truly, life changing. I had a foot reflexology treatment, yesterday; and was amazed at how much more open and responsive I was. And I know that my continued use of Julia’s breathing technique is largely responsible. Many changes have been facilitated by Julia’s – and my, work.

I am reading the part of Tolle’s “A New Earth” where he talks about how breathing is a quick method to open up space and become conscious. I am a true believer, now. Breathing IS good!

With your guidance and instruction and VERY GENTLE manner of helping me into and through the breathing experience during Saturday’s workshop and Sunday’s private session I released stress that I have been caring for as much as 45 years. And after more than a month since your sessions, my massage therapist attests that the stress has not returned. While some of us thougth you to be an Angel, I believe you to be no less than a Goddess with Divine Healing power, showing us how to use our healing power for self healing. Bless you, Julia, as I am blessed since opening myself to experience you and your teachings."
- David LaGrone, vedic astrologer. Granbury, Texas.

As I was telling someone about the workshop, it came to me to describe my experience as a room full of spirits, masters, profits, sages, healers and saints… Jesus, Mary, St. Michael and God all lined up waiting to give us a hug and a smile and they did. I love that visual and will continue to love that visual as it is quite real to me.

Beyond words, beyond thoughts
is a field of oneness
I'll meet you there

no matter how lost
or disconnected I may feel
the breath is my lifeline
that brings me back
to my essential bliss

and when I start to contract and shrink back
I just breath a bit more deeply
and expand further still

and when I am sure I cannot hold
another drop of love,
I surrender and go deeper
and take another cup

I am fearless in these moments
and willing to be seen
and loved just as I am
in tears, in bliss, in trembling,
in giddy laughter

Out beyond words and reasons
I'll meet you there

where I choose
right here and now
to breathe the breath of love
and live with an open heart.

(For Julia, my guide in the field of oneness)

“Julia's embodiment of the energy of unconditional Love is so pure that I instantly felt transported to Heaven in her presence. She created the sacred space for me to heal all that needed to be healed. At first I felt as if her goddess power had taken my breath away. Then I realized, it was the perfect awakening so that I could fully connect with Source and start breathing in all the Peace, Love and Joy that emanates through her and as Her. Let Julia welcome you to the Divine within” 
- Jesus Nebot, founder and CEO of Zokalo Entertainment and Love Empowerment Seminars, an award winning filmmaker as well as renowned inspirational speaker.

"After my session with Julia, I was relaxed and open, which was lovely. I have done many many types of energy work, healing work and self education, so I was thinking that the session would be nice, but not profound.  I was pleasantly surprised!!! I realized this work really affects the entire matrix of life. We are all like holograms, and when one tiny section of the hologram is opened up to love and breath, the entire hologram is affected. This proof came to me when after the session, my father called me out of the blue to share some very deep and profound feelings that he had been meaning to share with me for a long time regarding a relationship in my life, but felt hesitant, thinking he was interfering in my personal life. I feel it was no coincidence, that doing the breath work with Julia affected my fathers emotional state hundreads of miles away, and he was able to speak with me candidly and with deep heartfelt authenticity.  This work not only impacts the reciever, but also all those in the recievers life that they are connected to! What a gift. "
- Rebecca Randolph, Massage and Reiki therapist, Los Angeles, CA.

"I know we all hear about interesting events and it's hard to determine where best to spend our time and money. I am not promoting the workshop, just sharing my experience of this fascinating work and talented woman who is visiting SB. When I first met Julia, I was struck by her beautiful personal energy. Young but very wise. After having two sessions, I realize that her talent and insight is nothing less than profound. It was a new way to experience my mind, body and spirit connection. Chi was surging thru my body and was able to explore it in a way that I never had before. When these special people cross my path, I know it is for a reason. They become a guide to my next level of understanding.
I hope you have an opportunity to meet Julia!"
Carol Gross, Landscape Architect, Santa Barbara, CA.


"I knew during and after the session that everything had changed for me. I went to a place of Peace, Safety and Clarity that I had never before experienced in this life. It became very evident that Everything is Perfect. Thank You for helping me to access this, Julia. I will to share this with the World."
Al Marcelline, Director of Santa Barbara Wellness Directory

"I gained so much insight so much healing in this breathwork workshop. I deeply appreciate both the simple techniques (moving slowly, what makes me feel good) as well as the powerful intense breathing sessions and the greater knowledge of myself that they brough about. Your presence was strong, solid, warm, gentle and made for a safe, comfortable experience. You facilitated this workshop beautifully, shared and gave so much of yourself without ever seeming put out or overwhelmed and I felt you were always there when I needed you – teaching me how to be more there for myself. You shared many thoughts and ideas that I plan to incorporate into my life and share with others when opportunity allows. Thank you for your patience, kindness, compassion, resolved nature and sharing your knowledge so openly and effectively."
Ember, San Francisco, CA.


"This weekend has been the most beautiful blessing. I cannot say in words how grateful I am! It’s been so healing just to be in your presence, Julia. So comforting, loving. I felt so safe and at ease from the moment we spoke on the phone. Thank you for all your loving support. This retreat couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I loved being with the group, so honest and caring. I loved all the sharing and group support.
I can’t wait to make music for that is my passion. And breath takes me there, it allows me to sing freely."
Tamara, Ashland, OR.


"My sessions with Julia were some of the most intense experiences of my life. It's helped me to be ok with my emotions and to be ok with confronting situations. I'm going about my life with less fear and less guilt and seem to be reacting to other people's drama less, as well. One of your other clients wrote that when they take a deep breath they think of you and then when they think of you they take a deep breath. It's very true for me as well. You are a curiosity to me. I've never met someone who was so accepting of life, so enthusiastic to feel everything. It causes me to think often when I start to feel tension in my body or resentment starts building. I wonder to myself how you would deal with the situation and it makes me step back and I think of the things you spoke of. Of feeling the anger and feeling it fully and being totally ok with it; or feeling the anxiety and going into it, and of course feeling the love. "
Jennifer Homsher, photography student, Santa Barbara, CA.

I breathe

Each breath more accepted, less directed
Individual breath joining the stream of life

Stream to river
River to ocean
Ancient, moving to present

Let my heart be opened
Let my soul be wakened

Let the river of life
The river of love
flow freely home

Banks overflowing with beauty, joy and gratitude
Yearning for the sea of oneness

"Breathwork is magical. Julia is divine."
Suzanne Riordan, Santa Barbara, CA

"...Breath by breath, magic is taking place. There is the profound feeling of something extraordinary deep and amazing happening. There are the tingles, now going into my chest and my face. There are the surges of intense anxiousness followed by pure bliss...
I become feverishly aware of how inseparably connected the physical body and the psyche are and of the way they experience change and motion as one. Every muscle, nerve, and joint in my body is a little storehouse, holding information of anger, trauma, joy, and sorrow.
And I let go, I let go, I let go.
Suddenly, there are the tears. They emerge from my center, surge to my chest, up my throat, and out, out, out…. Pouring, spilling, gushing, releasing. Out. Oh, how much I’ve needed this, these tears of relief, of gratitude, of letting go, and…downright disbelief.
When Julia invites us to slowly come back to physical reality and move gently, an hour has gone by... Looking around in a near-daze, I realize that I have just returned home. Home to my real senses, to the pure, newborn me that is always there and I’m so often out of touch with. The me who doesn’t think, doesn’t judge, doesn’t want, doesn’t anticipate, doesn’t fear. The me with no past and no future, the me here now. The infinite, pulsating essence of being. read the full essay

Julia, what a powerful, passionate, sensitive, and gentle soul you are! You have a huge mission in Life. During my breath session I felt incredibly safe and supported. Your loving style put me at ease very quickly and my session was very productive. I felt so much strength and courage, gentelness and love at the same time. I am forever grateful to you!
Ken Reed, technical Music Consultant. Port Orange, FL.


"Rebirthing is the key to unlocking the door to surrender, to cast off the chains of judgment, to free the soul. Now I can relax into every moment and experience it fully. Now I know that full surrender means to accept the pain and let it be. Surrendering in humility is so powerful! It resolves all that is into all that I am." read more
Tom Rosasco, Beloved Community. Ashland, OR.

"Your therapy has brought me through so much pain and release since you left. I can only graciously thank you and encourage you even more to get this
work out to people.
I had a shiatsu treatment after our breathwork intensive, and my ribs and my neck released through tons of cracks on each of the side. It has never happened like this before. And now it did because I was using the breath you taught me along with the treatment. Even my therapist said it's because of my breathing. Now I feel 100% better. It's absolutely amazing! Thank you!"
Kevin Thurber, Massage therapist. Seattle, WA.

"She was sensitive to the energies moving through me, and reminded me I was safe, encouraging me to accept all that came. I embraced the fullness of the variety of life as manifested in all its different forms, expressions, experiences, emotions, energies. Julia’s reassurance that I was safe, her sensitivity to my experience of the moment, and her encouragement to accept and allow it all helped me to be open to all of the glorious variety of God experiencing God’s Self through manifestation." read more

"For the first time in my life I experienced something so profound and so beautiful that there are no words to adequately describe it. It happened during a rebirthing session with Julia. First I felt myself relaxing more and more. I saw lights hovering over my body and I went deeper and deeper. Then I felt like I was gently being rocked. I went even deeper and still experienced this gentle rocking motion and at the same time felt this love that’s so complete, so true, so powerful, yet gentle at the same time, so beautiful! In short - beyond words. To experience anything like this is truly the most precious gift! It makes it much easier to deal with ones EGO and it truly changes you forever."
Caroline Ruffner, retired. Virginia.

"The way I see it - there are two types of people in the world - most people are the ones who need the sunshine to be happy... and then there are some few amazing people, who ARE the sunshine... who warm the air around them just by walking around, who make people smile just by looking at them, who make all the problems go away with a simple hug... I feel incredibly lucky for knowing Julia - a sunshine like that... :)"
Kaido Kubri, Organizational Field Leader, The Southwestern Company. Estonia.

"There have been many questions in my mind about how to accomplish goals of Gods purpose for me and how to get there from here. I had been listening to too many other peoples advice when I already knew what to do. The breath session with Julia blasted through my confusion, in an Instant all of the questions that were bothering me were answered and I felt at one with my innate intelligence and the Universal Wisdom and Love."

Kretel Aavik, psychology student and housewife. Estonia.


"In order to truly go deep and experience release and growth, I have found one needs to feel safe and comfortable and, if possible, loved. Julia embodies love and allowance. She radiates acceptance and puts you at ease just by her presence. During my sessions I encountered a great release of energy and had my most vivid, intense and beautiful vision of my life. I felt like a new born cradled in it's mother's arms. Completely safe and loved to be what I am. Thank you, Julia"
Matt Dean, singer and songwriter. Toronto, CA.
