Hello My Loves,
My name is Julia Ida Angelina but my friends call me
JIA!
I am an embodiment mentor, Yoga teacher, Astrologer, dancer, Reiki master, Tao hands practitioner, retreat facilitator & much more. I’ve studied somatic trauma therapy, intergenerational trauma therapy, ancestral healing modalities, dance, movement therapy, Kundalini Yoga, Tantra Yoga & the feminine arts. I’ve travelled to 12+ countries & counting & love to spend my time in the heart of a jungle, desert, mountain range, ocean, or waterfall. I believe in the potent, powerful, healing feminine energy of Mother Earth & how our connection to the earth is the key for us connecting back to our bodies & healing as a collective. I am passionate about sharing the more deep & profound parts of life with my community. I believe I am one of the luckiest humans on earth to be able to do what I love as a career. I am so grateful everyday!
I grew up in Toronto, Canada & I was surrounded by so many different cultures growing up. My heritage is Southern Italian, Greek, Albanian, Cyprian, Scottish & Irish. I grew up in a predominantly Italian household & yes, I consider myself an amazing cook. I am very passionate about holistic living & motivating others to find a more holistic approach to their healing & wellbeing. I believe that we are all multidimensional beings living this human experience & all parts of us should be given love & attention. I’m not into the party lifestyle & I’ve been sober for 5+ years now. I would much rather be in the comfort of my own home practicing self-care, reading a good book & drinking my herbal tea. Some might think that's boring but, it's the most exciting & liberating thing to me.
Growing up I experienced many years of confusion & depression trying to find myself. I tried many different modalities from therapy to medication, but spirituality, somatic therapy, mindfulness & meditation is what truly brought me home to myself. Yoga, meditation & feminine embodiment opened the door to me healing myself & adapting a more conscious lifestyle. My own personal practices are very sacred to me & have evolved my life in the best ways possible.
I am so proud of the liberated, confident, & embodied woman I am today. I am grateful for every moment that has brought me to where I am right now. Every experience I’ve had in my life has shaped me into who I am now & that is powerful.
I am here to tell my story to uplift & motivate others to make the switch to a more holistic lifestyle, to find alternative ways to heal, to return back to sovereignty & to remember the innate wisdom & power that we all hold.
No matter where you are in your life or in your body, you have the ability to make the decision to show up for yourself right now. If you suffer with mental health issues, disconnection from your body, or depression, just know you're not alone. You are supported, loved & you are bigger than these labels. They do not define you.
I am here to support all people in there healing & evolution. You deserve to feel liberated in your body, you deserve to be seen & heard for your struggles, & you deserve to be congratulated for your wins & triumphs.
You are worth it.
Yoga, embodiment & holistic living have truly shaped me into the woman I am today & I am so grateful for that. My advice to all beings is to do what you love, express yourself authentically, show the world your true colours, don't hold back, love deeply, sing loudly, dance unapologetically, go on that dream trip, adventure, explore, discover yourself, do things that challenge you, go for your dreams & never look back!
With Devotion & Reverence,
-Jia
