Hi, I’m Julie Gillmore!

I am a certified yoga teacher and practitioner of Oxygen Advantage and Peak Flow respiratory fitness training programs. I have a background working in crisis intervention and trauma prevention, supporting clients who have experienced mental, physical, and sexual abuse. I have also taught classes about healthy relationships and led workshops on embodiment and self-compassion.

My passion for helping people has developed alongside my own mental health journey of alchemizing my inherited genetic blueprint. Although “breath work” is not a fix all, learning how to better use breath can be a catalyst for creating both physical and mental stability. Let’s make lemons into lemonade! 

My happy place is in the water. With a background in competitive swimming, I am an avid free diver and surfer who calls the island of Kauai home. I first started discovering the importance of breath mechanics on my swim team at age six. To this day I have continued to expand the capacity of my lungs and my experience of joy by learning breath holds of many kinds. When I’m not immersed in the ocean or some body of water, you can find me playing ukulele and singing, connecting rhythm and breath through voice, or sitting under a tree with my dog Albert and my nose buried in a book!
