For most of my life, I was very good at autopilot. Doing what was expected, ticking the boxes, going through the motions, even when I was miles from okay. What I didn't have was anyone to talk to who wanted to go deep and personal with me. We live in a pretty superficial world, and I noticed the same thing in almost everyone around me: people quietly heavy, running on autopilot, missing their own joy, with no space to be honest.
The 'aha' moment for me was realising I wasn't just missing that space for myself. I could be the one to open it up for others. I didn't need to have all the answers to do that. I just needed to be willing to sit alongside someone while they found their own.
That's the whole business, really. I'm a facilitator, author and Self Discovery Mentor. I create a space for people to reconnect with themselves, live intentionally and ignite the spark that brings joy to everyday life, through one on one sessions, my writing and the Heart Felt with Julie Margerison podcast.
My 1:1 program, ‘My Way to Happiness’, is where this comes to life, taking people through six sessions that move from uncovering their story, to finding their joy, working through fear, decluttering what's weighing them down, building new belief systems and finally, making it all stick with daily practice. I don't stand ahead of my clients as 'the expert' with a fixed plan. I go looking with them, so they can trust their own answers, feel lighter and finally recognise themselves again.
What I get to witness, over and over, is people's shoulders literally lightening. The moment hope comes back into a conversation… That's the result that matters most to me: someone leaving a session feeling a little less alone in the not knowing, and a little more like themselves again.
I've self published My Way to Happiness - It Gets Better and Better, with a second book, Embracing My Uniqueness, underway. My work also draws on an Advanced Diploma in Raynor Massage, Level 4 Healing Touch, and Certified Practitioner training in Time Line Therapy and Quantum Healing, alongside a Diploma in Holistic Counselling, a Certificate III in Individual Support, and a Certificate IV in Driver Training.
What drives me now is simple. Living my own truth and desires, while helping the people in front of me get closer to theirs.
If you recognise yourself in any of this, I'd love to hear from you. No pressure to have it all figured out before you reach out. Book a chat, and let's go looking together.
