Julie was born in London, England where she lived until she was four years old. She spent the next eleven years in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, returning alone to boarding school in England at age ten (which she hated, at first). At fifteen she was taken out of a protected, all-girls school and sent to a regular highschool. By the age of eighteen she was expecting her firstborn son… At twenty-five she had ten employees in her first, very successful, building (construction) and property development company.
Three years later she was in hospital, fighting for her life after a serious brain injury.
When she left hospital, against all odds and having survived a deep coma, there was very little support available for a young mother with three sons who had some serious recovery to do. In fact, she was counseled repeatedly that with a brain injury there was no recovery. She could expect a certain, fairly low level of ‘apparent’ recovery but the brain was not able to regenerate or repair itself… Instinctively she knew this was wrong – for her at least. She knew she would recover and the search for alternative therapies began.
Four years later, only close observation gave away her disabilities at first glance. Julie battled with exhaustion, balance, dizziness and a dozen other symptoms – which made raising her three young sons a daily challenge. However, a year later her fourth son was born (also against medical advice) and as he grew, Julie flourished. By the time this little boy was four she was working full time with her husband on their public farm, leading large school groups learning about genetic diversity and giving milking demonstrations (having been brought up in deserts and cities!?).
Unfortunately the farm couldn’t make it economically and after it closed Julie decided to enter counselling. Here she discovered a profession that she loved and now, many years and several careers later, Julie has built a website so that her experience – and that of many other survivors of various types of trauma – can be shared with those facing rehabilitation now. Your recovery can be less isolating, wasteful of years of your time, expensive (some therapies just don’t work) and soul destroying. It can also be affordable.
There have never been so many different types of therapy available – nor has there been less in the way of guidance and co-ordination of all these services. ReBuildingYou will help you sort through this maze and develop your own living rehabilitation blueprint. And all of this help is free…
There is also a directory-with-a-difference where you can learn about each type of therapy (we discover new therapies all the time) and have them explained, direct from a professional therapist. You can also read a client’s experience of them. Once you’ve done that and want to find out what types of therapy are available in your area, you can read about your local therapist and their practice – before you call them.
Therapists can advertise for free until the end of November 2008 (this may be extended to the end of December 2008) when there will be a small charge of $9.95 (for 12 months) introduced to cover internet costs. In June 2009 a regular, competitive cost for therapists will be introduced – other websites charge from $125 - $360.
Julie is a registered counsellor in Canada with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA) and would love to work with you to help you find and polish your sparkle. She uses an eclectic blend of Personal Coaching, NVC (Compassionate Communication), Imago Method and Trust Oriented Therapy - which is a unique and very successful blend of therapies - to develop change and ReBuild people.
Julie still offers some individual and couple counselling (and coaching) in both her office in Victoria on Thursdays and Fridays and in Vancouver on Mondays and Tuesdays. She also offers online coaching here through ReBuildingYou.
Julie has coaching groups for survivors of trauma (People Need People To Heal) - and separately for their caregivers (Avoid Burnout, Making Room For You) – also in both cities.
She has personal experience of physical and emotional trauma, which help her understand your issues. Work together with her to take back control of your life.
Julie believes that every single one of us has a hero buried deep within them. She has pledged to help you uncover that hero and find peace and success in your life.
