About
Welcome. You have arrived at the right time & to the right space. Rest assured.
Julie Ward’s coaching offers insight and wisdom on relationships in a light-hearted, earthy manner. Her strong suite has always been leading others to achieve profound results by tapping into their potential and supporting them to remove roadblocks that are in their way to success.
Julie began her early career as a not-so-geeky programmer turned project manager over 30 years ago. As she honed her craft, she transitioned her corporate career to executive coaching, primarily women in career or relationship transition. She is a seasoned, CTI Certified Co-active Professional Coach™.
One of the early-on, recurring themes she discovered while working with high-functioning, successful women was their underlying, almost secret desire to be more playful and less serious, to be more relaxed and less anxious, to be seen as a lover and less as a caregiver, to feel more supported and mostly to be deeply loved for exactly who they are. They were in-the-bones tired of having to ‘do it all’. They yearned to be free of all that constrained them and had them not feel great about how life and love were shaping them.
Julie met this feminine call for ‘more’ with great curiosity and dove deep into private teachings from world-renowned spiritual and intimacy teachers such as David Deida, to best support women in having a life they genuinely love. Her body of knowledge encompasses women’s embodiment and empowerment, transformational psychotherapy, and somatic experiencing. She is a certified Wild Woman’s Circle teacher under Michaela Boehm’s Wild Woman’s Way® approach.
Julie lives on a peaceful, rural Ontario, Canada homestead, built in 1847, with her rescued animals where she grows her own vegetables and medicinal herbs. She also loves to rescue orphaned or injured wildlife, who just seem to find her.
My Inspiring Story
I embarked on a journey of reinvention, bidding farewell to the confines of the corporate world to sculpt a new existence. Every facet of my life, from my professional endeavors to my family dynamics and personal aspirations, underwent a metamorphosis. Despite the apprehension, I refused to settle for mediocrity.
In my role as a Relationship Coach, I adhere to a principle deeply rooted in my own experiences. I can only guide others through paths I have tread myself. I lead by example, tracing my own footsteps rather than pointing fingers. So to my clients I ask the question, What impedes your progress? What barriers obstruct your pursuit of a fulfilling life? Is the desire to be right superseding the desire to be lovingly connected?
The journey towards improvement, towards the life we cherish, beckons to us all. The changes we seek await within ourselves. It’s a journey of self-discovery and transformation. It always begins with you.
