Professional HerStory

Welcome

My name is Julie Rae Diyen.

With deep and expansive interests in holistic health, creative arts, cultural traditions, adventurous outdoor activity, creative opportunities, and community connecting; I am curious about ways of aligning our various ways of being, both within and between.

Inspired and enlivened by the diversity of paths for cultivating wellness, and all related possibility for creative enterprising... I believe the path we take with one informs the other; honouring our unique needs, interests, passions and dreams, is necessary for empowering ease in our being and ways of living, so that we live our best lives happy and healthy.

I seek to awaken and integrate a sense of vitality and possibility in our experience and expressions, for transformative daily living.

Healing WELL-BEING

Exploring and experimenting with natural and traditional plant medicines, healing modalities, and spiritual practices and teachings, for more than 22 years, has led to a deep love of meditative practices and transformational experiences, along a path of holistic wellness focus.

I have been blessed with many guides, mentors, and teachers while living, working, and learning, in diverse communities including the pacific northwest, Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories, Mexico, Guyana, Brazil, Cameroon, and India, my learning deepening through healing resolution of some personal health needs.

Formally registered with a Holistic Health Practitioner Diploma and designation as a CNHP (Certified Natural Health Practitioner) and CRHP (Certified Reflexology Health Practitioner) with the Canadian Examining Board of Health Care Practitioners; I am also a Reiki Master of the Usui Reiki Rhoyo Usui Tibetan Tradition, with Medicine Buddha and Green Tara activations with Elders.

entrepreneurial DREAMS
