Grief can change the way you think, feel, connect, and move through each day.
I created One Free Soul Grief Journey for people who are carrying loss and trying to understand what life looks like now. Here, you can receive personalized virtual grief support, talk through what feels heavy, and begin finding meaning again at a pace that feels right for you.
In simple terms, this is a tribute to my sister and to the persona and nickname my grandmother gave her. “One Free Soul” described who she was while she was here with us—she marched to the beat of her own drum. Now, I envision her in heaven looking down on us as a truly free soul. Her spirit remains with us, and I feel that she continues to guide me.
This term holds a deeply personal, almost sacred connection to my sister. It also represents my mission and the reason I started my business. To be a free soul means healing from grief, loss, and trauma so that you can regain a sense of freedom in your mind, body, and life. Through practical techniques and tools, you can begin making meaningful changes that restore your sense of control and help free you from the lasting effects of what happened to you.
This healing program is designed to serve individuals who have been struggling to move beyond traumatic experiences that have kept them stuck—living life on autopilot and repeatedly focusing on the past. It helps them shift their focus toward life after trauma and recognize what they can gain through healing, rather than only what the experience took from them.
You do not have to “get over” your grief.
Loss can affect your memories, body, relationships, beliefs, routines, and sense of self. Some days may feel manageable. Other days may feel like everything is too much.
At One Free Soul Grief Journey, I offer compassionate support for adults who are grieving, feeling stuck, or trying to make sense of life after loss. My work blends trauma-informed grief coaching, mental health experience, mind-body healing, creative exercises, and practical tools that help you feel supported as you move through grief.
This is a personalized one-on-one healing program designed to support you through grief and loss over a structured 12-week journey.
Together, we focus on emotional healing, personal growth, guided support sessions, creative healing exercises, coping strategies, self-reflection, positive routines, and emotional resilience.
This program is designed to give you a safe, supportive, and uplifting space to process grief without feeling rushed, judged, or expected to have everything figured out.
What This Program Can Help You With
I started One Free Soul Grief Journey as a professional purpose and from a personal loss.
I have spent more than 30 years supporting people through trauma, emotional pain, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My work has included supporting survivors of domestic violence, children impacted by trauma, families working through attachment challenges, and adults seeking healing after painful life experiences.
But this work also became personal for me.
I started One Free Soul Grief Journey in honor of my sister, Erica, who passed away from cancer at the age of 40. Erica was known in my family as a free soul. She lived with individuality, spirit, and heart. She later carried that same name into her own jewelry business, One Free Soul.
Today, I carry Erica’s legacy into this work. My hope is to help others feel less alone in their grief and begin finding hope, meaning, and healing in their own time.
Every person experiences loss differently. That is why I offer different ways to receive support, whether you are looking for one-on-one guidance, creative healing experiences, community connection, or educational support for your group or organization.

Trauma-Informed Grief Coach | Mental Health Clinician | Neuro Change Practitioner
I have worked in the mental health field since earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 1993. My early experience included supporting survivors of domestic violence and working with children in the foster care system who had experienced childhood trauma. Those experiences helped me understand how deeply early life events can affect mental health, relationships, beliefs, and emotional patterns.
My professional background includes Attachment Theory, TBRI, Counseling and Human Services, Neuro Change, EMDR training, Mind-Body Medicine, and trauma-informed grief coaching. As a certified Neuro Change Practitioner, I use the concept of neuroplasticity to help clients understand how the brain can change, adapt, and create healthier patterns.
My approach connects counseling, neuroscience, and mind-body healing. I help clients recognize how past experiences may be influencing their present emotions, relationships, and choices. Then, I support them as they work toward healing, growth, and a healthier way forward.
Grief can affect more than your emotions. It can show up in your thoughts, body, nervous system, memories, relationships, and the way you see yourself.
In my work, I combine emotional support with neuroscience-informed and trauma-aware methods. My goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing and give you tools that support healing in a way that feels personal, gentle, and meaningful.
You do not need to know exactly what to say before reaching out.
You can share what you are going through, ask questions, and learn how I can support your healing process. There is no pressure to commit right away. We can simply begin with one honest conversation.
Real healing begins when people feel heard, understood, and supported.
Reconnecting with Julie after 30 years turned out to be one of the greatest blessings during an immensely painful time. When I lost my father, I knew I needed support, but finding someone who truly understood felt overwhelming. Reaching out to Julie was the best decision I could have made.
Her kindness, deep empathy, and steady presence helped me navigate the heavy weight of grief when I felt completely lost. She creates a warm, safe space where you feel genuinely heard and supported without any judgment. I am profoundly grateful for her guidance, compassion, and care. If you are navigating loss, I cannot recommend working with Julie highly enough.
“How many lives you’ve touched up til now, and only more great things are to come. ❤️ l feel so blessed that my life was positively affected by you and to see you then turn and make your dreams come true. You are such a light to so many ❤️”
“Thank YOU wholeheartedly for you being you!!! I would not be here without you!”
“You will always be in my heart and part of my story.”
