Julie is a transpersonal counselor and author of several award-winning books. She is known for her intuitive insights and engaging presence. Her studies into mind training, Buddhist philosophy, transpersonal counseling, and spiritual evolution led to her conception of the Wheel of Initiation and the yearlong Initiation Course, which she has facilitated since 1998. Her next Initiation Course (in Prairie Du Sac) begins this October.

Julie borrows from a diversity of psychological and spiritual methods knowing the importance of each person finding a spiritual practice that is relevant to them.

Hang on this could be a bumpy ride...because somewhere between the life you are experiencing and the life you dare to dream hides a precious jewel waiting to be unearthed.  You will learn how to uncover that jewel and how to uncover your gift to the world.  A highly recommended course to mend your soul.  With Julie's patience, compassion and wisdom you are respectfully guided and facilitated to journey into the Wheel of Initiation...to the places that scare you, but ultimately to the places that heal you.  Julie reminds us always...it's  a sacred and a personal journey, but once you give yourself permission to venture...the bumps do start to smooth, the truth beautifully emerges and you ARE living an intentioned life. ~Amy Bendorf Schertz, MS, LMFT, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
