From a young age I was acutely aware of every sensation and symptom in my body. I can\u2019t say this made me at ease. Actually it created a lot of panic in me. Not to mention hearing frequently how \u2018overly sensitive\u2019 I was, was no comfort for my anxious mind. I didn\u2019t know at the time I could trust my body or how to even do that. During my elementary and high school years I was a competitive gymnast and athlete. My mental and physical energy got grounded in my sport. I quit gymnastics (reluctantly) in my mid teens and this same energy became free floating energy that manifested as anxiety. Anxiety that resulted in bodily symptoms and sensations and needless chatter in my mind.<\/p><p>Over time and with the support of a few wise practitioners I started to make sense of these physical symptoms and sensations. This free-floating energy became anchored in my body when\u00a0<strong>I learned to access my emotions and FEEL them. My feelings became my guideposts and led me further along the path of well-being.<\/strong>\u00a0Well-being has always been my priority and passion. And so alarm turned to curiosity, panic to trust, and fear to wisdom. I learned that my body is my trusted ally. \u00a0This trust in myself, enabled me to connect to my passions and I developed the courage to pursue them. Instead of hiding them, fearing that they weren\u2019t worthy of pursuit, \u00a0I celebrated the discovery of them, and the conviction for my right path deepened.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57dd6bd\" data-id=\"57dd6bd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad68e31 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ad68e31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-768x1152.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-23004\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/elementor\/thumbs\/20250910-JULIE-033-scaled-rfcej5uu779vtz8be0vajp2njyfmtxg75y26ymqpn0.jpg 500w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/elementor\/thumbs\/20250910-JULIE-033-scaled-rfcej5uszch5zoeft2nw62babozwj88vzeq3sr0034.jpg 400w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/20250910-JULIE-033-scaled.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8ddd4d0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8ddd4d0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0596bde\" data-id=\"0596bde\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-559ce5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"559ce5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These years gave me the space to connect to my intuition and I let it lead. It became my inner navigational system. My internal compass.<strong>&nbsp;Discerning between anxiety and intuition has been part of my personal path and as I ground more, and continue do to my inner work, the distinction becomes less subtle and more clear.<\/strong> From my teens to womanhood through twists and turns, through loss, love, leaving a job as a successful business executive, to school and back again, with coaches, therapists, mentors, programs, healings, and across the seas and highways, I of course learned a lot about myself and honed my skills and my craft. (And continue to each day).&nbsp; Along the way I met and then married an inspiring and loving man, adopted a dog named Lucy, created my coaching and intuition practice, launched my podcast and carried and birthed two precious boys now aged 14 and 11. &nbsp;The learning and growing and the wonder of this life continue. And so this is why I do what I do. It is who I am and what I believe in.<\/p>\n<p>Trusting our intuition. Navigating our own journey. Listening to our body wisdom. Knowing ourselves. Being good to ourselves, others and our planet.&nbsp;<strong>This is why I want to meet you and support you in giving to yourself in a way that can help you and those around you<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-195cb2c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"195cb2c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f3c3dc\" data-id=\"9f3c3dc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4e0ae4a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4e0ae4a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-102245b\" data-id=\"102245b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e0ec74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9e0ec74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4882-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-27142\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4882-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4882-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4882-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4882-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/juliecusmariu.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4882-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-384b2d1\" data-id=\"384b2d1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d48f72 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0d48f72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>My boys<\/strong>:\u00a0 15 and 12 years old.

my first child (albeit four legged and furry). She prepared me for motherhood. Truly. I wanted a dog my whole life. The first day we adopted her she left her trail everywhere in the house AND she started menstruating (and to think I never thought about the menstrual cycle of a female dog before). She had separation anxiety and lived in two homes before ours and she was only 9 months old. As you may imagine, this put me in the \u2018mother\u2019 role fast. Fast forward to 2023 and actually on January 10th we had to say a tearful farewell to Lucy (2007-2023). From puppy to crone, she filled our house with love and lightness. Forever touched by, enriched and changed by this relationship. In a house of boys and my husband, she was my female ally and companion. Oh Lucy.
