The Barefoot Philosophy

“Where are you from” is about as hard of a question as “who am I”? So I’ll try both, as my journey on this planet has made me who I am. I am Julie, an avid traveler, explorer who is interested in anything crafty and healing. I was born in the U.S., raised in South America and have traveled many “corners” of the world.

In the last 15 years or so, I have had a variety of injuries all seemingly unrelated. I’ve been to every type of doctor you can think of and I’ve been diagnosed with everything from ADHD, to Raynaud’s disease to Fibromyalgia to just straight up aging. Everywhere I went treated me for one symptom or just one part of my body. I was so frustrated that I decided to take my health into my own hands. During my recovery period, I took advantage to learn as much as I can and get as many certifications that I could so I could potentially help others in my same position.

I’ve grabbed inspiration and studied healing from across the globe. My goal is to incorporate mind, body, spirit together to heal in a unique and complete way. I’m currently writing a cookbook and working on another book about my own journey through gut health and the Ayurvedic practice. Through creativity, connection and Spirit I want to grow and share what I learn on my journey with you!
