Giving Nature a Voice

What brings you joy gives you energy. Being active in nature is a natural youth and immunity booster.

I look forward to sharing the transformative power of nature on your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

Since 2003, Julie has led over 70 expeditions and retreats around the globe to include ten to the Arctic and three to Antarctica.

Julie is a pioneer rebel with a cause.
That cause is to offer unique opportunities for individuals, teams, and organizations to reconnect to nature, unlock their highest potential, explore new terrain, boost their vitality, and take an active role in environmental advocacy.

Jules Lewis gave an inspiring and arousing keynote at our 2014 Women’s conference that had everyone on their feet.

She highlighted how one can make a difference and benefit personally and professionally through working together and giving back through the community.

Julie Lewis connected to Masdar’s ethos and values from the get-go. It has been a pleasure to work with her to bring meaningful, intentional and impactful wellbeing sessions to Masdarians. Julie walks the talk in every aspect of the phrase. As a wellness partner, she earns my highest recommendation.

Julie delivered a beautiful message of connection, resilience, and achievement at the Steamboat Springs 2020 Thrive Together Women’s Summit. She equipped her audience with the confidence that comes with the ability to handle unexpected life events and shared her tools and mindset to achieve resilience. Through sharing her story, Julie led her audience on a journey that taught them how to embrace change, immerse themselves in the unknown, conquer adversity, and access resilience within themselves. She connected with the audience to provide a positive and inspiring message during a very difficult time.

In a world where people spend far too much time on challenges versus solutions and opportunities, Julie is a beacon of hope. An incredible life story of resilience combined with deep expertise in her areas of operation – resilience, mental and emotional well being, positivity all make Julie a superb advisor, consultant, speaker and trainer. Julie is a delight to work with because of her incredible work ethic and professionalism. But what makes her truly unique is her passion for life, commitment to anything she takes on and generosity in supporting other leaders. I am delighted to have her as one of House of Rose Professional’s team of consultants and highly recommend her programs.

Jules is an excellent facilitator and trainer and was fabulous at one of our Women’s business network events. She understands the brief and can tailor delivery to suit your needs. Highly recommended.

Julie gave a wonderfully insightful presentation to the CoreNet Global Middle East Chapter end of year event recently. The gathered members and guests were enthralled by her enthusiasm and her ability to engage with us around the sometimes awkward topic of Personal Resilience. I would thoroughly recommend Julie for similar speaking roles and look forward to working more with her.
