Although directing wasn’t Julia’s chosen path in the film industry, she recently fell in love with film directing and in spring of 2021 was approached to direct her first short film. Unfortunately due to the productions low budget the film was unable to visit post-production however, she is extremely grateful for the experience, proud of the work she did do on the production and looks forward to collaborating and directing her next film.

Julia’s first passion has always been dancing. According to her there is nothing more expressive than moving the body through space, listening and exploring the unique language of our individual body. This is why Julia not only touches lives through her storytelling as a performing artist but through her approach to yoga and movement as well. As a long time practitioner and teacher of yoga and dance, Julia helps people unravel and manage their chronic pain through embodied mindful movement modalities.

She is a choreographer as well and has choreographed and taught dance, art and yoga in many schools as well as shelters across the GTA.

She offers in-person and online private + group mindful movement sessions and complimentary yoga practices via her YouTube Channel – Live With Ease which is a wonderful creative outlet for her. It’s her way of giving back and being of service to others especially during these unprecedented times.
