Why Audiences Connect With My Events

As an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Aromatherapist, I bridge the gap between healthcare and holistic wellbeing. I speak at events across Bristol and Bath, offering warm, engaging, and evidence-informed talks grounded in clinical expertise and lived experience. Throughout the event, I explore the connection between burnout, nervous system health and overall well-being. The aim is always to help the audience understand what their bodies are trying to tell them.

I attended an event where Julie gave a wonderful and enlightening talk on her work and skill with aromatherapy. I purchased her Rose Facial Oil which is simply divine! I am hoping to book a treatment with Julie in the near future. Julie glows with a gentle warmth and kindness and her passion for her work in nursing and aromatherapy really shines.

I recently attended Twilight Inner Glow, where Julie was a host. It was the most relaxing evening, and I had a wonderful head massage, which was so relaxing. Thanks to her wonderful, calm nature and her fabulous handmade mix of oils! Thank you Julie.

I met Julie at a networking event where she gave us some training on aromatherapy, followed by some mini treatments. Everybody was eulogising about her and her knowledge was second to none. I would highly recommend going to see her if you need to regulate your frazzled nervous system.

I invited Julie to run a personal development session on nervous system regulation at my monthly business and personal development day in Bristol.

Not only did the attendees leave with practical, actionable techniques they could start using straight away, but Julie also offered mini treatments during the day. I was lucky enough to experience an Indian head massage, and it was wonderful.

I came away feeling incredibly calm and relaxed, and the tension headache that had been building throughout the morning had completely disappeared.

Julie has such a warm, calming presence and clearly knows her craft. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, and I can’t wait to book in for a full treatment when I’m back from my holiday.

Thank you for a wonderful evening at Mint Health, learning more about aromatherapy and the incredible benefits to our nervous system. I feel 100% better for it and loved experiencing all the different scents. Neroli still wins for me.

We loved welcoming Julie to Gather & Grow as one of our guest speakers. Her aromatherapy session was informative, engaging and delivered with such warmth and passion. Julie shared her knowledge in a way that was easy to understand, while also giving practical tips that attendees could take away and use in everyday life.

Thank you, Julie, for such a calming and inspiring session — we’d love to have you back again in the future!
