About Julia.
Compassionate. Authentic. Empowering.
My name is Julia Joy Tolson and my middle name it’s more than just a name to me—it’s my north star, a reminder to live and work with heart and positivity.
From an early age, I’ve been fascinated by the human experience, psychology, and mindset work. Growing up in the United Kingdom and Austria, as well as living and working in various corners of the world (7 in total), I’ve learned how to adapt to new environments, embrace challenges and connect with diverse cultures and personalities. These experiences have fueled my passion for personal growth and shaped the person I am today.
"I found my rhythm when I realized that even the steps backward were part of the dance."
My career, experiences and personal journey, have influcenced my understanding of what it truly means to lead, grow, and care for ourselves in a healthy and authentic way. I’ve been committed to discovering how to balance professional and personal growth while finding true fulfillment. I pursued further education in mindfulness, resilience, emotional intelligence, business coaching, stress management, and female empowerment. Today I am passing on my learnings & sharing from my own experiences.
I love creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. Other little things that light me up? A warm oat milk cappuccino, time in nature, movement, exploring new places, heartfelt connections (both old and new), and geeking out on all things health & wellness!
