THe ConnecteD PRESENCE practice
Restoring Calm, Connection & Clarity fpr a more peaceful and authentic life
Grounded in three decades of conscious education — including the UK accredited Level 4 Teaching Diploma — this work helps parents, leaders, and educators return to intuitive wisdom and to what’s kind and true.
This is where that presence begins.
In stillness. In story. In shared humanity.
About Julie
The future of the world depends on the presence we bring to our children today.
I guide parents, carers, and leaders toward a quieter, truer way of living — where calm, connection, and clarity can naturally unfold.
My work began long before it had a name. As a child, I learned presence in the gentle company of my grandmother — moments marked by stillness and being truly seen. Years later, as a mother and educator, that memory shaped the founding of Highgate House School in Hong Kong — a living community built on care, relationship, and shared wisdom, and inspired my work with the Level 4 Diploma in Steiner Waldorf Early Years Studies that I call Conscious Teaching, a UK-recognised OFQUAL Diploma supporting educators in relational practice.
Through writing my book I developed The Connected Presence Pathway and The Present Parent Practice, I now help others return to that same steady ground — the place where self-trust, compassion, and belonging take root.
This work isn’t about doing more.
It’s about remembering who we are when we’re fully here.

1:1 Presence Sessions
One-to-One Presence is a quiet meeting place — a space to be heard, to soften what feels heavy, and to return to the calm wisdom within.
These personal sessions with Julie offer gentle companionship through parenting, leadership, and the inner work of becoming whole.
You’ll be met in a focused, unhurried space where there’s time to speak, reflect, and move at your own natural pace — no rush, just honest presence and care. -
