Hi, I’m Julie, and years of dedication to my own health and wellbeing and to others has taught me a lot of skills that clinically can help you be your best version. (PT, Yoga Instructor, Intuitive eating coach, to name but a few.

However as your facilitator and owner of This Girl Shines, I want you to know me as a woman who has battled cancer twice. Had more conversations with clients that I care to count about self-loathing, self-sabotage, aarrggh Dieting, relationships and body-confidence.

I know what it means to feel betrayed and stuck by my own body. So I’ve put my own experiences with self-loathing, hating my body and depression into creating events that help other women reconnect and begin to build their best version so they too can shine bright.

Please join me as I embark on a journey to lift women up. Be their best versions! Connect and celebrate so they feel loved, whole and complete.

Being suspended & cradled in the silk was like floating on a cloud - it was so cozy & comfortable & helped me to relax & totally get into Julie’s guided meditation that I also thoroughly enjoyed. I left feeling totally at peace & relaxed after a big long week.
Thank you for opening your beautiful space, Julie! I will most definitely be back for more!

Wendy Madgwick May 2024


What a delightful evening and a beautiful relaxing experience This Girl Shines offers. Set in a purpose built, lovely and magical intimate back yard space, the cradle experience was seamless, with loving care to every detail, personal attention to your comfort and guided meditation and music with your own individual headset, eye pillow whilst enveloped in the silk cocoon … I highly recommend this! Loved the end of day to night transition when the garden gets transformed with fairy and starlight.

I truly enjoyed the Sound Cradle & Meditation Experience! For me the timing was perfect, as this date ties in with a family memory..Each year I feel sad but this year I decided to try something different. The space was beautiful, peaceful, & calm.
Was lovely to feel the warmth of the sunlight as well as the cool breezes, on my skin. I left feeling renewed, energised & very relaxed. Thank you to instructor Julie, for creating such a wonderful space. Your guidance was perfect. I was able to slip away & felt like I was floating in Paradise ️ Thoroughly recommend!
