About Me

I'm Julie, pleased to meet you. I've had a career over of 40 years during which I’ve worked in the corporate world, for start-ups, for small companies and for large companies. I have experience in the charity sector. I’ve worked with small groups supporting mental health. I’ve also experienced setting up and running my own sole tradership. I've learned many lessons along the way about myself and others.
Consistent in my life is a love of hearing people's stories and the excitement of envisioning new things. I believe we can all make change happen in our lives. Sometimes a listening ear really can be a helping hand up. And this is really what I offer.
My formal qualification is Ofqual Effective Coaching and Mentoring from the Institute of Leadership and Management.
I am also a qualified and currently practicing yoga teacher of over a decade with many yoga teaching qualifications certified by Yoga Alliance. I’m also a paddle sports instructor certified by Paddle UK and have undertaken several group trainings including the Sheltered Water SUP coach. I lead SUP yoga sessions (yoga on a paddleboard), open water sessions and I am a trained sound healer with crystal sound bowls.
My sister site is here: strongsupplesound.net.
If you ask me about myself, I will simply tell you I am a lover of nature.
I have a corporate background in finance and having also worked in office management for a while; I am familiar with and comfortable in offering professional workplace coaching.

Coaching may be what you need if you are feeling stuck, uncertain, dealing with a lack of confidence or navigating a change. It can be the difference between success or failure in a task. Or it may be finding the courage to make a life change.
You have what you need already, we just need to locate it together.
