The Shine Lounge

Julie is the founder of The Shine Lounge and This Girl Shines. She’s passionate about helping women swap self-criticism for self-kindness, and busy for balanced—one gentle, joyful moment at a time. Julie’s approach blends mindfulness, gentle movement, and playful affirmation practices—all with a focus on real-life self-care that fits into your actual day (not just your someday). Her mission: to help women (and teens) reconnect with their inner strength and worth, and create space for joy and confidence—without pressure to “fix” themselves or squeeze into anyone else’s mold. She believes true empowerment starts with body acceptance, self-compassion, and the courage to do self-care your own way. You’ll find Julie’s guided meditations and audio affirmations are designed for real life: the pause before school pick-up, the moment between meetings, or a reset before bed.
