Unbreakable Spirit Book: Free Gift
Writing this chapter was a deeply healing experience. I never planned to share this part of my life story publicly. In fact, when I was invited to be a part of the project I assumed I’d re-tell just my eating disorder recovery story. Then, while in meditation one day, I felt the desire to finally face the subtle but still sticky tendrils of fear around my experiences with domestic violence and abortion. The current state of our nation was a call to action for me to rise even higher into my divine feminine power by writing Sacred Choices: Soulful Conversations on Incarnation.
So, when our publisher recommended sharing a gift for those who purchase the book I wanted to provide a glimpse into my own practice and the resource yoga and writing is for this important part of our personal empowerment. Inside this short but sweet offering you’ll find new poems (also not shared elsewhere yet) paired with a few favorite poses and Shakti-inspired journal prompts. I hope it serves you in integrating and expanding the infinite wisdom imparted by all the stories in Unbreakable Spirit.

She has a heart of gold and the will to help everyone find happiness and joy in life. I encourage anyone struggling with self acceptance or self care to have confidence that Julie can help make a difference.

Julie Norman is the best. She is transparent, kind, professional with an ability to speak the unvarnished truth with gentle, kind honesty liberally sprinkled with humor. She has traversed both personal and professional environments with quiet confidence and grace while remaining steadfast to herself & her values. Like an oak no matter the winds she remains grounded, able to bend without breaking. Julie leads by example. She walks the talk, a true guru. My life has been enriched by knowing her.
Dr. Marsha Ferrick, PhD
Julie opens a sacred space for people to embrace themselves fully with humor, respect, and mindfulness….to support and be supported by one another, the earth and by a shared, limitless energy. In a place of safety and compassion, we learn to explore the connection between our bodies, our thoughts, and our own divinity.

Julie Norman is an extraordinary yoga teacher and cherished presence in the Akron community. I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with her through Elevate Akron, the Akron Yoga Summit and Big Love Network. Julie brings exceptional expertise but also a big, warm hug and smile that creates a joyful, empowering space for everyone. Regardless of gender, her teaching awakens the goddess within each of us. Grateful to have Julie as a colleague and guide on my journey!

I can hardly believe the work you do. After our second session I simply felt that I was no longer fighting with my body. I’m not thinking about food nearly as much as I used to. I don’t need it for “comfort” now, rather simply for the energy and pleasure.
Sharon S., PEACE Coaching Client
I have known and worked with Julie for the past 3 years. I cannot say enough good things about her and the extensive knowledge she has in Yoga/Health Coaching. Julie truly cares about each client and person she encounters. She is very passionate and has a tremendous personality. I couldn’t recommend Julie more to anyone who is interested in becoming a better version of themselves!
