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.
