About Julia
Hi, I’m Julia Lucas, and I know what it’s like to feel like your entire world isn’t safe, you don’t fit in, and you have to pretend everything’s fine—when that smile you’re projecting feels so clearly painted on for other people’s benefit.
I was born 15 weeks premature, weighing 1 lb, 8.5 oz. My identical twin sister Amy weighed even less. She suffered a grade 4 brain bleed, and kidney failure. She died nine days later.
On the other hand, I spent my first four months fighting for my life.
And though they say you don’t start forming memories until at least two years old, the sights, sounds, near-constant stress of having spent so much time in the NICU, the loss of my sister, and guilt of having survived without her, took a toll.
At two years old, I’d sob myself to sleep because I missed Amy so much. By age seven, I was talking with her and considered her one of my guides.
Call it the effect of having an identical twin sister die; call it part of who I am, but I’ve always been sensitive. I remember being at a friend’s house and sensing the pain and tension their family carried.
But when you want nothing more than to fit in with everyone around you, it doesn’t take long to realize that none of your friends spiritually connect with their dead sister or sense their teacher’s profound sadness without saying a word.
At age eight, I started tagging along with my mom to participate in healing groups, meditations, breath work, and reiki classes. By 18, I was hooked.
Energy work became a way to heal myself from the hidden pain I’ve suffered with my entire life: survivor’s guilt, grief, loneliness, and the effects of a fragmented nervous system. It became a way to deeply connect with myself, and to deepen my intuition.
When I stopped trying to turn off my intuitive abilities and started leaning into them, I:
Stopped feeling drained at the end of the day (Turns out, picking up everyone else’s energies like a sponge isn’t the key to boundless energy and happiness. Who knew?)
Started energetically protecting myself from everyone around me so I could stand in my own power and face my own feelings
Gained the ability to clear past lives, read other people’s energies, and help them clear their shit
I know energy work can help you, too.
I know what it’s like to make plans you later hope your friends cancel because you don’t want to go, but you also don’t know how to function like a “normal” human being around other people.
I know what it’s like to smile and nod along when you’re given extra work, while shutting down completely from overwhelm—and not seeing another way out of the anxiety.
I know what it’s like to live with an elevated nervous system that makes every little thing feel like the sky is falling when really it’s just Tuesday.
I know what it feels like to have zero control over your life so you try to take control over it by obsessing over the food you eat. Which then turned into an eating disorder. Ultimately, it was never about food, it was about not feeling safe in my life. Because unknowingly I was so disconnected.
And I’ve cleared my shit enough that I’m now able to hold space for you to bring me yours—and to help you clear it.
