Coaching
Before I started coaching with Julie I knew I wanted to leave my corporate job and follow my heart into a business that deeply fulfilled me; but it felt completely out of reach. I was stuck in fear and indecision until Julie said those beautiful words that changed my life course – “There will never be a right time (to take the leap).”
Julie was the perfect coach for me. I’d initially planned to stay for another 6 – 8 months in my job, but as soon as we began working together, I knew it was going to happen much sooner. Julie’s suggestion to put an expression of interest in my newsletter about my (yet to be created) coaching packages, instantly garnered me 30 clients. I resigned the following week.
Starting my business has been the most incredible experience, and coaching with Julie was t he catalyst. There’s been a complete shift in my energy. I’ve made peace with my fears and learned to trust my intuition and abilities. Everything I do comes from a place of self-empowerment. I’m now living the abundant, joy-filled, meaningful life I used to dream about!
Thank you so much Julie, you are a rare sparkling gem and I’m blessed to have worked with you.
I say that I discovered Beautiful You completely by accident, but I now know there was nothing accidental about the way Julie and her work entered my life. From our first meeting at her Biz + Blogging workshop, I knew Julie was the person who would help me break through the overwhelm, the doubt and the noise, to get the business and life I had always wanted.
Julie strikes the perfect mix of unwavering enthusiast, persistent reality-tester and loving truth teller. What you see, what you hear, what you read – is exactly what you get – and it is extraordinary. Book her in and watch the magic unfold.
After many brilliant coaching and counselling sessions with Julie of Beautiful You, I decided to take the leap and start my own business. This was a huge leap for me, and something I’d only dreamed of doing. Julie said to me many times, “You can do this” and coached me through the process. Without her I’d probably still be working for someone else, dreaming of my ‘one day.’ Thank you Julie.
I was fortunate to meet to Julie through the fabulous B-school network. I just LOVED her personality and approach, so I felt eager to work with her in helping me set the foundations for The Mindful Foodie, something I knew I needed having only been in business 4 months. I didn’t go in with any big expectations, but by the end of our first session I was thrilled about the prospect of having a business plan and clarity about next steps.
I started out with only two coaching offers and now I have five, and my web and sales copy is WAY more engaging. Julie really helped me nail this and within days of the launch of the new copy I had great feedback, piqued interest and new clients signed up! I also had guest posts on the hugely popular sites Tiny Buddha and MindBodyGreen, both with a great response.
I rode a massive high while working with Julie with the biggest change being shifting my mindset from one of a hobby blogger to an online business owner. This was HUGE for me because it means I was finally more confident about self-promotion and networking. I didn’t realise the amount of internal resistance I had to make The Mindful Foodie successful. The thought of networking, ‘asking for business’ and public speaking made me quite uncomfortable. Julie, in her gentle and encouraging way, helped me overcome this and get in front of people more. I’ve been going to networking events and have my first speaking gig soon!
My coaching experience with Julie was fun, encouraging and effective. She is so wonderfully fantastic at what she does, plus she is an absolute pleasure and joy to work with! I have been blessed to have Julie as my coach. She has done me personally, and my business, wonders.
Julie has made me feel incredibly empowered and even emailing with her at the beginning of our coaching helped propel me into taking positive action for my business, The Organised Housewife. Within an hour of implementing a change she suggested at my website and how to leverage Facebook more, I had made seven new sales! That makes our time together incredibly valuable to me as a business woman. She continues to help me feel more comfortable with selling and recognising that I deserve to reap the benefits of my hard work. Julie has also helped me to pull back from my many hours of work and find more balance with my personal and family life. This is a lady who really knows her stuff.
Learning to love myself for who I am is my greatest achievement from coaching with Julie. It has given me inner peace, happiness and confidence. The fact that Julie also helped me uncover my previous passion for cake decorating and my secret wish to turn that into a business, still feels like a dream. My website is up. Orders are coming in. I’m baking and decorating more than ever before. It’s no longer a dream – it’s reality. It’s my life.
Julie – thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I wish I could adequately express my gratitude. I was sad and broken when I came to you and after every session we had I felt like another one of the weights that was pulling me down was released. Coaching with you has helped me to love life and confidently launch my business. It’s not a stretch to say you have changed my life. For the better.
Julie supported me with the launching of my fashion business and was an invaluable source of wisdom, guidance and brilliant ideas. I could not have pulled off such a large undertaking without her help and all the positive media that came about afterwards. If you are looking to have someone amazing support you achieve what you are dreaming of – hire her!

I had been subscribed to Julie’s newsletter for some time before making the decision to work with her. I expected she would fill me with her positivity and help to build my business confidence. I got so much more.
Julie provided me with coaching that far exceeded my expectations. She linked me in with a network I sponsored and gained exposure through, and via her own personal connections, a new client I supported pre and post natally. And by the end of my coaching series and all the actions and plans she helped me put in place, my website hit the first page of Google results – a better outcome than I could ever have wished for!
I would, and have, recommended Julie’s services to anyone in need of coaching. My entire experience was focused, extraordinary and heartfelt and I know it would be for anyone else too.
Wow! I had such a positive experience with Julie as my Life and Business Coach. It is because of our work together that I have been able to articulate my passions and find my voice. Without her guidance, expertise, support, and love, I know that I would not have come as far as I have.
Julie made it clear that I had to hurry up and get over my icky-ness with self-promotion and she helped me set small, measurable, and realistic goals, encouraging me to live a little outside my comfort zone. It was good decision for me to finally spend some time and money on myself and I now feel so lucky to have found this powerhouse of a woman.
I definitely recommend Julie if you are finally ready to elevate your life to the next level. You won’t regret a moment of it.
My coaching series with Julie began after many months away from home and returning to Adelaide. I knew the year would be a huge one of adjustment and change for me and the thought of having Julie as a regular source of support, advice and encouragement sounded like a wonderful way to feel safer throughout the transition. And it was! Julie helped me find the courage to follow my heart and live by my own rules and she helped me realise that it was very okay and absolutely possible to live the life of my dreams.
Working with Julie helped me to gain trust in myself that I’m not only doing enough, but worthwhile things with my life too. In the space of our coaching series, I launched my new website, online store, developed a greeting card range and held a solo photography and writing exhibition that manifested more beautifully than I had ever imagined it could. My coaching experience was nurturing, changing and beautiful. And now, I’m London bound on a one way ticket… inspired, motivated and ready to take on the world! Julie, thank you, thank you, thank you,from the bottom of my heart.
Being a coach I know how valuable coaching is. When I first spoke with Julie what stood out to me was how she corrected my language if I ever said anything negative or put myself down. I loved that! It helped me see how I was creating my reality of being unclear about my business direction and being afraid of moving forward. She understood my pain and yet provided a safe space for me to rise above it.
By the end of our first session I felt like I could take on the world. I came out of it with specific action steps to move forward and as a big vision thinker, sometimes caught up in the romance of the future, Julie helped me break things down into nuggets of action. I’m now so much more ‘out there’ on social media and after I worked through my website copy so it came personally from my heart, I no longer felt held back.
I adore Julie. Her coaching gave me the kick-start I needed to take my business to the next level. Her coaching met and exceeded all of my expectations. I moved forward so quickly on things I had been dragging the chain on for months and I couldn’t have achieved what I have without her.
When a friend who had Julie as her coach suggested I work with her, little did I know what I was in for. I didn’t have expectations to begin with, just hope that she could help me, as I had tried so many things to make my life more positive and while they helped to some degree, I still found myself wanting.
Fortunately for me, Julie was SO good at what she does, and after finishing my coaching series I am now a happier, more secure, confident and positive person. People around me have noticed I’m more willing to make my needs a priority and
I’m so much less harsh on myself now. I believe in me. I’m not destroyed by setbacks, and am clear about what I want. After years of moving, fifteen different schools and not knowing who I am, I finally feel like I’m forming a strong identity for myself and I’m so excited about starting my own business as a wedding celebrant.
Having Julie as my coach is quite simply one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you a million times over Julie. You are brilliant in so many ways, and how lucky for me and everyone you work with, that you do what you do.
I can highly endorse Julie as a wonderful coach. I worked with her on starting my new job-seeking coaching business and not only did she given me a stack of practical ideas to explore, she’s also an amazingly encouraging, warm, supportive, passionate and visionary coach. I feel so blessed to have her in my corner. She gave me so many nuggets of gold in every coaching session with her trademark energy, passion and expertise.
Do yourself a favour and sign up for Julie’s coaching services. It’s one of the best gifts you could give yourself and your business.
When I told my sweetheart I wasn’t going to get a job after graduation and that I was going to build my own coaching and online business instead, she was terrified, but excited. I felt afraid too, but then I told Julie about the plan and she was so certain that it was the right time and the right idea, that I couldn’t help but become certain myself. You can’t put a price tag on that feeling. It’s unbelievable. Feeling as though someone believes in you 100% and is supporting you even when you don’t know the way yourself yet, is amazing.
Working with Julie over the past six months I have transformed my business from a blog, to a slightly bigger blog with advertisers, to a dynamic blog community and coaching practice. I have clients! I get asked to participate in fantastic opportunities! Most importantly, my confidence in my ability to continue to build my business has sky-rocketed. I feel more calm and balanced. I work smarter, not harder, and I make time for living as well. Julie’s coaching was loving, structured, and supportive, and I feel so unbelievably grateful for all her work and assistance.
Having Julie as my coach was like having a Fairy Godmother. When I found her I was more than a little confused about how I could be a better version of myself. I had no real idea what working with her was going to be like – I just knew I wanted to be one of the smiley, wholly satisfied women flashing all over this page!
Having Julie help me learn I was a multi passionate person changed my life. She helped me realise I could embrace the many things I loved and wanted to do and I didn’t have to choose. This helped me stop questioning myself and start loving myself and from there, in just six sessions, Julie helped me harness my passions, enrol in an inspirational course, begin plans for a new business, start writing a series of ebooks and have a thriving blog. And to think that all these things for me were once just dreams.
Julie is delightful, empowering and life-affirming. I can’t really put into words how in such a short space of time she has managed to positively change my life. Like I said – A Fairy Godmother – with a coach’s wand.
Working with Julie has undoubtedly been the most amazing journey. She is warm, encouraging and incredibly insightful. She has a truly magical way of lifting the fog and helping you to delve deep within to draw out your inner greatness! In only a handful of sessions I was launching my new business and pro-actively working on believing in ‘me’. I have walked away feeling ever-so empowered and inspired. Julie, thank you for lighting the way.
The best coaches are good listeners with wonderful insight who draw out something that was already inside you. They guide you and provide an anchor when you’ve hit a rocky patch and help you steady the rudder when you find it hard to stay on course – or pick one. Julie is just that, a skilled, warm-hearted and insightful coach who will help you pick your direction in life – be that business or personal – providing the tools for you to get there and sharing in your delight along the journey. Talking to Julie is uplifting, inspiring and utterly heart-warming as she shines with compassion and knowledge.
Julie continuously impressed me with the resources she provided, her ability to refer back to previous conversations and adapt her approach to the situation and day with her inspiring presence. She moves effortlessly from the practical to the spiritual and personal and back, and helped me gain a plan that feels organic, true and inspired. Along the way, I regained my sense of flow. I cannot recommend Julie highly enough. Beware of her mischievous smile, empathic nature and can-do attitude. (I warned you!)
What makes Julie such an exceptional coach, counsellor and overall person is that she is ‘Beautiful You.’ She embodies all that she passionately stands for – love, self acceptance, true beauty and inspiration – which in turn allows you to dream and believe that you can be exceptional too. Julie offers you the opportunity to heal and take charge of your life and because she is immensely wise and knowledgeable, she somehow always finds a way to support and encourage you in just the right way.
Personally, I not only found healing with Julie but the courage to follow through and live dreams and aspirations that I had put off for a long time. Ultimately with Julie you get results. So to anyone who is in need of healing, or who seeks empowerment and support to achieve their goals and reach their potential, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
When I first started coaching with Julie I had a vision of what I wanted to build with my business smile chickie but I needed to find the confidence to pull it all together, have someone push me, and hold me accountable too. There was something so calm and capable in her nature; and I could tell she had a highly tuned bullshit detector which I would not be able to get around! By the end of our first session I felt excited and relieved; someone believed in me and now I needed to believe in myself.
I pushed myself to go out of my comfort zone more than I ever have working with Julie because her coaching was so empowering, reassuring, and strengthening. I will never forget when she said: “You are ready,” and I will always be grateful to her for putting everything into perspective and making the way forward clear and sparkly. There are not words to describe how much I loved and benefited from our sessions.
Beautiful Julie – Words can’t tell you how much you have helped me on my career and now business journey. A 1000 thank you’s is not enough. Both I, and people around me, have noticed how much more at peace I am with myself and finding time to do things I love. I am so much happier knowing I have started a journey to a more fulfilled and satisfied lifestyle and that in doing so I have not had to choose one of my passions (health) over another (creativity). I know now I can have both and it’s a great feeling. You’re amazing Julie! Thank you.”
When I first started my business it lacked vision and I lacked the confidence to bring it to life. I knew what I wanted but I just wasn’t sure how to get there and tell the world where I was going…and then I met Julie. Each week, Julie and I would meet and I would walk away feeling inspired, motivated and ready to take on the world…ok well at least my weekly tasks anyway! Julie gets it. She takes the time to understand you, your dreams and your priorities. She breaks down that dream, so week after week; it starts to feel more like a reality. And today, I’m living that dream!
Don’t hesitate in contacting Julie today to help you turn your career dreams into a reality.
The beautiful soul of this remarkable woman, Julie Parker; is unlike any other. From the first moment I contacted her, I felt a powerful connection. Her compassion, understanding, belief in others and her desire to help is inspiring. She has this uncanny ability to bring the best out in people. Julie helped me to achieve one of my ultimate dreams – holding my first photographic exhibition. She was there for me throughout the entire process; encouraging and supporting me. I now feel like I can achieve anything I put my mind to and that is thanks to her belief in me. Sometimes you need someone else to believe in you before YOU can believe in you and Julie makes you feel like she is your biggest fan!
It’s a wonderful feeling having someone like her on your side. I could never thank her enough for everything she has done and can’t wait to go on many more wonderful journeys with her. I urge you to contact this woman if you need help, support, guidance. You never know how much your life may change in the most magical ways if you do.
When I first met Julie, I was lost. I knew the path I wanted to be on but there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Julie made me feel as if I could achieve absolutely anything and most of all helped me to believe and look inside myself for the answers I needed to succeed. Julie is amazing. She knows exactly what direction to point you in and the approach she used sparked something inside of me I haven’t felt in a long time – passion, drive and motivation. Julie really cares about you and helping you get the results you desire in the shortest possible time.
My business dreams have become my reality. Julie truly is worth her weight in gold.
When I first started working with Julie I had lots of ideas for my business that I wanted to put into action, particularly relating to abundance with more clients and money, and seeing my programs grow. I wanted only to work with a heart focused coach that would support, encourage and hold me accountable, and by the end of our first session I knew Julie was that coach.
The biggest thing I achieved with Julie is learning to accept abundance in all areas of my life and how to promote myself more confidently. She was so incredibly practical, accurate with what I needed, and supportively challenging.
Coaching with Julie was a wonderful experience that I gained so much from. It has in fact, been such a life changing experience for me in all facets of my life, not only my business. I am so excited to see what the future brings!
I’d been in business for myself for over seven years when I started working with Julie. The thing I missed most from working in a team was a sounding board, another perspective, and accountability for the ideas, decisions and goals I was creating. Coaching gave me this. It also helped me step out from the shadows, create a brand, launch my website, embrace social media, and start working on some new and exciting ideas.
If I was to describe working with Julie, the words that come to mind are: exciting, insightful, challenging, enriching, empowering and joyful. My coaching experience has been nothing but positive. I feel liberated, empowered and blessed by the whole journey.
Julie greets you with a beaming smile and eyes that seem to reach into your soul and draw out your honesty and integrity. Julie’s leadership ensured I pushed through barriers to gain the enlightenment I was scared to see. I look over the goals I set while in her presence and realise I have met a great deal of them and the biggest one at that – writing and illustrating a children’s book! Julie you are an amazing lady. Thank you.
When it came time to turn my passion for SEO into a business, I had so many ideas but wasn’t taking action. I was overwhelmed and not moving forward and I quickly realised that if I was serious about wanting to creating an amazing life for myself, I needed to seek professional help.
I was very unsure going into my first session with Julie but by the end of it I felt excited and that I finally had a pathway forward I could focus on. That focus has not left me, and I’m so grateful for Julie holding me accountable for what I really wanted to achieve.
Julie is an excellent coach. She understood what I was trying to achieve and how I needed to keep in action, but she was understanding enough to also be flexible with me when I needed it. I cannot recommend Julie highly enough and just wish I had reached out to be coached by her a year ago.
I’d had my counselling and coaching business for a year when I first connected with Julie, but really had just been playing at it. I knew it was time to get serious and build some solid foundations and I was confident a good coach would provide the guidance, support and accountability I needed to get things done. I warmed to Julie very quickly and could tell right away that we would be able to work together with ease – and we did.
Coaching with Julie has helped me feel much more aligned and aware of what my true purpose is and how my business offerings compliment that. My confidence and security in myself personally and as an entrepreneur has increased dramatically and the entire coaching experience for me was enlightening, compelling and exciting. I send Julie a massive heart felt thanks for all her knowledge, guidance and generosity as I watch Soulcraft grow into the thriving counselling and coaching practice I know it can now be.
Having Julie as my coach has been an amazing experience. She helped me bring to life goals I had been thinking about for ages but hadn’t done nearly enough about. Mostly importantly she held me accountable to everything I wanted and encouraged me to keep going and dig deep when I needed to. I always felt energised, focused and committed to myself in our sessions.
Thank-you Julie. Everyone should have you as their coach!
My coaching series with Julie was supportive, honest and uplifting. I was in a rut and I felt very overwhelmed about my health, career, life and biz. None of them were where I wanted them to be. I decided to pay someone for the feedback and support I needed, but I was majorly worried that we wouldn’t click and that I would be judged. But by the end of my first session with Julie I knew that I really and truly had found someone that I could connect with and who understood me. I felt like such a weight had been lifted off my shoulders! People around me are now surprised at how much I juggle and still manage to achieve, and they admire my tenacity, creativity and determination. Julie helped me enormously with my clarity, focus and sense of life purpose and was simply lovely throughout the whole experience to boot!
If you are looking for a compassionate and caring counsellor or coach then look no further than Julie. She has an incredibly supportive and warm personality. One of Julie’s best qualities is her ability to have an optimistic outlook, matched with a practical approach. It’s great to be able to bounce ideas off someone and then have them ask ‘ok so then what to do you need to do to make that happen?’ and break it down into manageable, doable steps.
It all seems possible with Julie on your side; you couldn’t find a better ally.
When I first started coaching with Julie I was attempting to decipher my short and long term aspirations, both professionally and personally. I was afraid to make the ‘leap of faith’ required when you are facing change on a large scale which for me included my location, career, lifestyle and relationship status. I was overwhelmed!
Julie allowed me to speak openly and focus on small steps, which lead me to truly understand what I wanted for myself and become a lot less concerned about how my decisions affect others. I am now excited about my ‘forecast for change’ through my own growth and development, and undoubtedly Julie’s pro-active, supportive and motivational guidance helped me get there.
When I first reached out to work with Julie I felt lost and wanted to make positive changes in my career, social life and my relationship with my body. Even though I had never worked with a coach before I decided to work with Julie after reading an amazing post about her from another client. By the end of our first session I realised I could positively change and I did. My confidence grew throughout my coaching series and I now have the knowledge I can achieve whatever I set my mind to.
I achieved everything I set out to do with Julie and more! Working with her was a life changing, worthwhile and enriching experience and I will continually be sending her a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Consults
Prior to my consult with Julie I didn’t want to launch my coaching packages, was extremely unfulfilled with my work, lacked clarity, didn’t know my life purpose, didn’t dare to show up fully, didn’t think I was good enough and thought I was too young to make money. I clearly needed a COMPLETE re-haul of my mindset and something to propel me into my dreams, and Julie overdelivered in her SHINE Consult on both accounts. She was swift, decisive and made me feel highly empowered, helping me realise I needed to tap into my own uniqueness and fully show up as me.
The results? I am now meeting up with people that love my work. I feel SO supported and like I belong. I have found my tribe. My entire inner world shifted once I owned myself – owned me for beautiful me. I have let previous issues melt away and I am now loving living my dream life. Money, where once bundled up in self-worth issues, is now my LOVER with me manifesting $5000 in the two weeks following our consult. And I did it effortlessly, which I know is because I owned my gifts.
My shine consult and time with Julie was life changing. LIFE changing in the most beautiful and divine way. I feel we will be connected in an incredible way forever.
Hiring Julie as a coach to help me launch the Party Girls Guide to Peace was a no-brainer. She had what I wanted the program to embody: spirit and discipline, ambition and presence, and without her, well… let’s not go there. She transformed by online program in 60 minutes.
She’s wise, strong, and like a warm hug, reels you in leaving you wishing for more.
I knew I wanted to work with Julie after I saw so many people recommending her in Marie Forleo’s B-School Group. I signed up for her newsletters and was so inspired by her successful coaching and counseling practice. It felt like she was doing everything I wanted to in the future and I wanted to learn from her at a deeper level.
Julie was so generous in telling me about the paths she took to her own success in my consult. Her honest and compassionate reality checks about my business were so helpful. They totally woke me up and made me take SWIFT action – I finished updating my website in a day! Julie is encouraging, inspiring, genuine and warm, and working with her has totally renewed my enthusiasm and productivity for my business beyond measure.
When I decided to do a SHINE Coaching Package, I had just been let go from my job. I had been wanting to work full time for myself for years, so I decided to invest my last spare money into working with Julie, hoping it would propel me into my dream career, working full time as a self-employed designer and Empress of The Happi Empire. I was apprehensive about working with a coach over Skype, but it was fantastic. Right from the outset I felt instantly empowered, that I had Julie’s full support and felt she really believed in me.
I have more self-belief now; I feel like I am stepping into my true power and this is the way life should be! And yes, I’ve managed to give up my old life style and actually be making a living from my dreams! Julie is excellent at what she does; fabulous, fun, generous with her time and so supportive. Working with her was absolutely worth the investment.
Sometimes, when you read about someone online, they are very different in person, but Julie is just as beautiful, authentic, approachable, honest, and encouraging as she portrays herself. Having a consult with her has been the best thing I’ve done to launch my career as a coach. One of the biggest things Julie helped me with was getting crystal clear on who I really wanted to work with and reach out to as my target audience. Through her tough but loving questions and suggestions, I have found that target audience, and the fog I was experiencing has cleared.
Julie also encouraged me to share my story more and incorporate myself into all I do online and my work has simply soared as a result. People around me have noticed a huge sense of excitement, focus, passion, and drive since I had my consult. With a reclaimed sense of focus, my confidence has skyrocketed and I now believe in my journey as a new coach who can genuinely help others. Thank you for helping me turn my goals into a reality Julie. I truly valued our time together and felt so close to you even with the distance. I was looking for a coach to help launch my dream and I found it in you.
Julie has the unique ability to take people on an amazing journey of self discovery with optimism and a sense of hope. After one session with Julie I walked away feeling like I had the ability to face the world with a new found abundance! She has taught me to appreciate the simple things, and to live each day as a precious gift, not getting caught up in the small stuff but tackling challenges with resilience.
I can solemnly say to anyone reading this that is looking to work with Julie – go for it. Open your heart and mind for a journey of self discovery to a place and person you know you can be.
Julie is a fabulous coach and made me feel very comfortable while still a total newbie at starting a business. It was great to have support, focus, actionable and achievable goals and guidance, in developing a client base ready to see me when I begin to practice. The SHINE Consult helped me focus on this and gave me structure and direction for things I need to do with my website, web-copy, blog, launch, social media and newsletters. Everything I spoke about with Julie was positive, actionable, directional and gave me enormous clarity.
Julie’s generosity and lovely energy is legendary. She allowed me additional time with her due to a technically challenged first session and she has the utmost integrity. I tell everyone about her!
I had so many ideas about what I wanted to do before launching my blog and business ‘Two Vegan Girls’ but I was confused and had no real practical ‘how to’ business knowledge. I was hopeful when I made the decision to have a SHINE consult with Julie that she would pave the way with some wisdom. And that’s exactly what she did.
I came away from my consult knowing how to channel my ideas and passion into a solid business idea. I had practical steps about what to do to launch and then keep things growing. The result has been a shiny new website, fantastic opt-in, growing database and fans on Facebook. I’m inspired and motivated and the clarity and practical advice Julie gave me has allowed me to put something solid behind my passion for veganism.
Julie is fantastic and I now absolutely know why she is such a deserved success!
I was running a virtual assistant business but had minimal internet presence and lack of confidence to take it to the next level. I was struggling with guidance and what to do to get more work. I decided to work with Julie as I saw it as the perfect opportunity to speak to someone and get some focus and determination. By the end of our first session I felt more confident because of her empowering, positive and encouraging way of working. She is excellent at what she does and is passionate, driven and truly supportive.
Julie helped me build my confidence and work out what to do next in my business. Her advice and motivation was invaluable.
I got so much out of my consult with Julie and was really excited to get some clarity around my career. I now have a path forward where previously there was a question mark about where I was heading which made me reluctant to invest the time, commitment and money I needed to. The thought of having my own business one day is VERY exciting to me too! I can’t wait to see Julie again and I’ve already been raving about the consult to friends who I think would really benefit from seeing her. Thanks for inspiring me!
Julie was the perfect coach to support me with starting my business. I needed guidance in all things start-up and someone to help me with my confidence too. I loved, loved, loved our first session. Suddenly things didn’t seem as overwhelming and I had a clear view about how to start and keep momentum. Coaching with Julie was mmmmmmm – marvellous, motivating and mind-blowing. I have sometimes given up on projects I’ve started, but I have no intention of giving up now.
I am more motivated than I have ever been, and can’t believe that after such a short period of time together I have walked away from our sessions feeling excited, confident and energised. I know now that Chilled Out Mama is going to be awesome. Thanks Julie.
Julie has inspired me to be my best and to love myself for just being me. When I first met Julie I was a happy person on the outside but on the inside I had a lot of self doubt and felt invisible and unlovable. By working with Julie I have learnt to value myself and feel special. Now I am happy on the inside and the outside! I highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants to work on their own happiness.
I went into my session with Julie with some ideas for projects I wanted to create. In just one ninety minute session I had a clear idea for a free opt-in offer I created later that day, an alternative to a membership community idea I’d had and a strategy to launch and an intensive course I’d like to create. A VERY productive hour and a half I’d say! And it goes without saying that Julie is an absolute delight to work with and completely supportive and encouraging. Thanks Julie!
My coaching experience with Julie was dynamic, inspiring and absolutely effective. Absolutely! I was completely stuck in a number of areas in my life and knew that I had to make changes when I first started working with her. Julie was SO warm, open and welcoming, and the belief she had in me propelled me to discard the negative ‘what ifs’ and just go for what I wanted and needed. Working with Julie helped me reduce my negative thinking, improve my self-care and even make positive changes to my blog. She helped me realised I am entirely in control of my life and that I deserve to always give myself my best.
I was so blown away by Julie’s passion and genuine excitement for me as a person and I know where I will be coming if I ever need an accountability kick again!
I was back in the job market for the first time in fifteen years when I started working with Julie. I felt I was being handed a great opportunity to pursue my passions, but was unsure of which direction to take or how to proceed. I had never worked with a coach before and thought the experience would be generic but I soon realised that coaching was all about me. Being listened to, heard and given practical feedback and advice was great. I always thought I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but Julie helped me to really pinpoint my interests and strengths. It has crystallised ideas and that I CAN do things it if I want to.
My coaching experience was very personal and helpful. Julie is a lovely, warm and encouraging person who really listened and offered me practical advice to help me achieve my goals.
Counselling
Julie is an excellent counsellor and you would do well to seek her guidance, whether it is for in-depth counselling or general advice. I write this with authority because apart from possessing a consuming lay interest in psychology and best mental health practices, I have consulted a number of such professionals for a variety of reasons over the years, and Julie has been the most kind, empathetic and genuinely helpful I have had the pleasure to know.
I found her guidance and support to be invaluable, and feel that the work I did with Julie on various aspects of my life and relationships has brought me forward leaps and bounds in a relatively short space of time.
I was told about Julie through (Twitter) word-of-mouth, and visiting her for a number of sessions over the course of about six months has been the best health and life decision I have made in years. I am the one who told Julie I would like to write a short testimonial for her (and this is the first I have ever felt I wanted to do!) because I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Julie, for your excellent help and guidance!
Julie – I cannot thank you enough for everything you have taught me. I am so proud of myself for finally nurturing my body and giving it what it needs. Not only am I healthier, I am happier. The biggest lesson I have learnt is that it is a day to day process and requires hard work. I make the effort to read the literature you have prescribed and continue the day to day activities in my journal. But most of all I feel normal again. I enjoy wonderful meals with my husband and have been on more dinner dates now than ever before! It’s connecting us more and I love that.
On the career side of things, I have to thank you again. What you said to me was so powerful. I had been focusing on my job thinking that it was the reason for me not feeling fulfilled. But you hit the nail on the head, that what I am truly looking for is a deeper connection to people around me and to feel beautiful. I have wasted so much time worrying about what others think and striving for control that I haven’t known what it is to just be happy. So I am now working to strengthen my relationships with the people around me, but more importantly explore my own interests and let my hair down more often. I write this with the biggest smile on my face and so much gratitude for you. Thank you.
Julie – I really appreciated your time and support and encouragement. I am still using your prompts (there was a lot there!) and I’m using the affirmation as well as some more I came up with. I really wanted to thank you for your kindness, generosity and demonstration of love that lies within humankind. I am very blessed by that and by you. You are an awesome, strong, kick ass woman!
Speaking
From the moment Julie began speaking, to her very last word at The Wellbeing Web’s Summer Event, she had the audience totally captivated. The women loved listening to Julie share her personal insights about practical ways they could boost their everyday wellbeing and there’s no doubt in my mind that she inspired and resonated with every woman in the room.
The feedback was amazing and I know the impact she made will live on for a long time. Julie is a beautiful example of an amazing, adorable and authentic woman living her best life. Thank you so much Julie.
Julie Parker is a regular speaker at our AusMumpreneur Conferences around Australia. Her message of self-love is empowering and motivating. After hearing Julie speak last year, we totally changed our way of thinking towards our business and our life style and began creating our best life! Julie speaks with passion and encouragement in a way that inspires women to follow their dreams and find their true purpose!
I can honestly say that attending the Rotary Youth Leadership Award Seminar and hearing Julie speak is one of the most impactful and inspirational experiences I have ever had. I walked away and remember thinking ‘I’m looking at the world with different eyes.’ I can still hear Julie’s voice echoing in my head, whether I’m faced with a challenging situation, a tricky decision to make, or bigger picture thinking about life. Julie has the ability to turn the simplest of issues on their axis and make you see them from a different perspective. The little gems she leaves you with can be applied to so many situations.
I was present at the Ausmumpreneur Network chat with Julie and it was just fabulous. It came at just the right time for me as two days later I was asked to do a radio interview. My first instinct was to say I couldn’t do it but I remembered Julie’s words and decided to just do it. I am so glad I found the confidence to get out of my comfort zone and “do it”. Thanks so much Julie.
Julie speaks with wisdom and passion. Her authentic presentation style coupled with warmth and humour draws in her audience to really engage comfortably with the topic and understand the importance of accepting who you are. Julie’s presentation has given us much to think about and act upon. We look forward to working with her again!
Attending Julie’s workshop encouraged me to embrace who I was and put myself out there. In the following weeks I made a very small change – I stepped up how much heart I put into my writing just a notch. The result was instant and totally overwhelming – my blog traffic increased more than 5 times even though I hadn’t done anything else differently. I am now a firm believer that the more of yourself you put out there, the more people will connect with you.
Thank you for being an amazing, smart and insightful MC for my Inspirational Seminar. You are amazing. Not only were you great on the day, in our meeting before hand you were able to offer smart suggestions which helped add to the entire experience. Your warmth, presence and professionalism was the perfect blend for all of our fabulous women who attended. The feedback from the seminar has been that it was fabulous, insightful and that it has changed peoples lives.
I am an artist specialising in commissioned art works and also have my own tea business called She-Tea. I heard Julie speak at an AusMumpreneurs conference and I can honestly say her words moved me deeply. She spoke about how self-doubt and a lack of self-love can lead women to undercharge for their products and therefore not make the return they need to continue to grow and blossom. I spoke to my She-Tea partners and we agreed to re-visit our pricing structure and at the same time I determined a new price for my paintings.
Both of these changes have had significant effects on both businesses, and I am grateful to Julie for giving me the information and the confidence that I needed to start looking after myself, as well as my customers. Thank you Julie!
