the book

Love. Loss.
Living Fully.

Julie’s husband Jim was diagnosed with cancer. Three weeks later he was gone. What she learned then, and in the years that followed, became Live and Die Awake: a book that re-frames how we meet grief, loss, and death, and invites the reader into a healing arc of their own.

Voices of those
Julie has walked with.

Julie is an amazing coach. Her techniques took me to a place other coaches could not connect with. They helped me break free from limiting beliefs, and her program gave me back the confidence to move forward. She gave me tools to self-navigate with purpose.
Julie SavitzClient
Julie's transformational soul coaching has been truly healing after the loss of my sister. I felt lost and overwhelmed by grief, but Julie's compassionate, intuitive guidance helped me reconnect with myself and find peace. Through our sessions I was able to release limiting beliefs, gain clarity on my purpose, and cultivate self-love. Her approach goes beyond traditional coaching. It is deep, soul-level healing that has brought lasting transformation. I now feel more aligned and empowered, with a sense of peace knowing my sister's spirit continues to guide me.
