The meditation was a seamless tapestry of chakra alignment, angels, essential oils, spirit guides, crystals, aura balancing, breath-work, reiki, prayer, and unconditional love. The bounds of space, time, and quantity of content, dissolved. Everything coalesced into a beautiful and effortless journey through healing realms.
My deepest prayers—requests for spirit to speak to me in ways that I would recognize and understand, to remind me that I am never alone, always loved, always supported—were granted. I felt deep gratitude.
If you’re in need of emotional, spiritual, or physical healing, consider love-based, energy medicine, in addition to conventional approaches to healing. It’s a profoundly beautiful and empowering experience.

“Before I met Jewels, I didn’t know what it felt like to actually breathe. My breath was shallow and short. She gently walked me through the entire process to connect with my body and breath in a manner that completely relaxed me. I immediately felt it through my entire body. I am not a yogi and actually I was quite intimidated by it. But Jewels taught me simple techniques, broken down, that I can implement in my daily life… and has truly changed my life! If you are not into yoga, don’t be afraid to schedule a private session with her. She is gentle and gets it and she will get you, at whatever stage you are. Feel free to call me if you would like to hear my experience with Jewels.”

“As the owner of a wellness center in Manhattan, it was critical for me to have the right people in my team and Jewels is definitely one of those people. Our clients love her nurturing, yet powerful teaching methods. I see them emerge from her class, revived and refreshed with a glow on their faces. Jewels is a gem of a yoga teacher, as her name implies. I highly recommend her as a yoga instructor.”

“I began my yoga Practice with Jewels. I was so stiff that I could barely touch my knees. She is very patient and altered the positions to my personal level. In no time, my confidence grew, I developed a wonderful yoga and meditation practice… and I can now not only touch my knees but I can touch the floor! In addition, Jewels’ personal coaching has supported me through a highly stressful time in my life. She offers realistic ideas to work through any situation and they work wonders! I highly recommend Jewels; she is understanding, compassionate and knowledgeable.”

“Practicing yoga at work with Jewels has helped me bring balance into my work life both mentally and physically. I used to be super stressed with deadlines and demands but now I find myself thinking more positive while practicing my yoga breath and releasing control, something Julie taught us to do in class. Physically, I feel less muscle tension and pain around my neck, shoulders and back since practicing some of the yoga stretches I’ve learned in class during my long work day in front of the computer. Having our company provide this service to us made me realize they care about my wellbeing, elevating my job satisfaction and morale. Now I look forward to the next class and wonder what other cool moves and meditations she will teach me to calm my nerves.”

“Offering yoga during the corporate work day is a wonderful way to step away from my desk and duties for an hour to re-charge, re-energize and refresh my mind and body. Jewels teaches techniques that not only help you to release stress and negativity during the class but also little breathing exercises and stretches you can take away and use throughout the week when you feel you need them. Jewels is great at teaching in the group setting while working individually with each person’s unique fitness and interest level. She teaches something new each time she comes and is always ready and willing to scrap her planned workout to tailor the class to attendees’ specific needs or wants. I look forward to her yoga sessions and continuing to improve my body and mind while connecting with like-minded co-workers.”
Amy Ottney, Corporate Executive, Los Angeles

“Wow!!! Worth every penny! I am going through a divorce and along with that, the betrayal of a best friend. It was something I was carrying like heavy, OVERWEIGHT bags trying to get through the airport on an over sold flight! I went to Jewels for a Chakra balancing and cord cutting session. All I can say is that I am blown away! My entire perspective on the situation has changed drastically and I can now see the “light.” Shine Your Light indeed. I am feeling more empowered, able to manage the heart break and looking forward to my future. I am so grateful for this woman and the work she does, I could go on for hours! THANK YOU JULIE. YOU CHANGED MY LIFE!!!”

“Julie has been teaching yoga for years, both East coast and now West coast. I used to train with her in NYC. Her classes have that great mix of Yoga workout intensity on the physical side and calming peace and serenity on the spiritual side. I took some private classes with her as well since I was new to Yoga and really wanted to learn all the moves and proper form. I would recommend her for both those new to Yoga as well as experienced yogis.”

“I have known Jewels for many years and have heard about her passion for healing and the dedication she has is so impressive but I was not always wanting to try new things. After seeing her work and knowledge, I decided to take her Reiki & Chakra Balancing sessions. To my surprise, I felt so refreshed, clear and relaxed. I love how she does it, how she explains and the healing hands makes it very comfortable and powerful. I highly recommend if you are feeling out of balance to try it out.”

I want to start saying Thank You Jewels!!! I had the most amazing experienced last week while you did a Reiki session for me.
The energy in the room, her presence and how she guided the session was something I have never experienced before. It was so nurturing feeling the energy healing your body, mind and spirit… Feeling how the areas that needed attention were re charged and re balanced. There are no words to describe it, what I can is affirmed is that I felt great and I am still carrying the balanced energy with me….
I highly recommend Jewels to everyone who’s looking for a better you. She will help you to clean and restore the best of you!!
All the best for you Jewels!! You have a gift!! 🙂

I recently saw Jewels for a Chakra balancing and Reiki session. It was amazing! If you know about Chakra balancing, then I highly recommend Jewels as you will receive all that you need and more. If you do not know about Chakra balancing, then you should definitely go to Jewels. She will help you remove blocks that you didn’t even know you had. My session was deep, transformative, and beautiful.

My Chakra Balancing and Reiki session with Jewels last week was an amazing experience. I was a little unsure what to expect and Jewels was very informative and really knew her stuff. It was both relaxing and energizing at the same time and I definitely could feel the difference in my energy. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I feel like that it’s so difficult to find a good practitioner for these types of things that it’s important to get the word out when you find one.
