Meet Julie Thompson, the founder of Ubuntu Breathwork

"Ubuntu" is an ancient african word, meaning humanity "I am, because we are". Julie is a certified breathwork faciliator and yoga teacher holding multiple certificates in mindfulness and meditation. Her approach to wellness is to treat the whole person – mind, body and soul.

The central themes in Julie’s life have always been movement, mindfulness and spreading kindness. Julie’s love of movement led her to play competitive volleyball throughout her teenage years, where she was first introduced to the concept of mindfulness.

Developing a mindfulness practice transformed the way Julie viewed herself, her life, and the world around her. She continued to deepen her mindfulness practice throughout college and in her careers as a child and youth worker and as a police officer.

Julie hopes to inspire and support others by sharing wellness and mindfulness resources, helping them connect more deeply with themselves and the people around them.

““At the heart of wellness and a fulfilling life lie kindness,
compassion and self-acceptance.”

    I didn't quite know what to expect. I have to say I was amazed and loved this powerful experience. Julie led the group through the session where we felt encouraged, safe in her hands and open to whatever may arise. Every aspect from the environment, the music, the instruction and delicious tea after to sit and reflect were thoughtfully organized. It was challenging at first, but also allowed for release and surrender and a feeling of lightness after the session. I will certainly be back to do more exploration through this breathwork modality.

    I have done all kinds of classes along my journey and I always benefit, but this was next level amazing! Julie did such an incredible job and I am already excited for the next one. I went in not knowing what to expect as this was all new to me. I found relief from the chronic pain I deal with daily and I could feel the tension lifting I carry in my neck and shoulders. I also had a brilliant sleep that night and my memory was clear. Your guidance and voice made me open to achieve what I have tried to do for over 20 years. Thank you Julie with all my heart.

    I attended a session and I had no idea what to expect. I embarked on this breathwork journey with an open mind and I came out at the other end with an open heart. The experience was like no other. It took away the stress I was holding onto in my neck and shoulders. At the end I felt so relaxed and peaceful and slept like a baby that night. I cannot wait to attend another session!

    The breathwork session with Julie was an amazing and unique experience. The technique she facilitated provided me much clarity, healing, and peace with my emotions as I am currently going through a huge transition in my life. It gave me the opportunity to be vulnerable, acknowledge and process my feelings. She provides a safe space and allows you to explore your inner emotions. I have never felt anything quite like it and left feeling clear and peaceful. Julie is truly special and gifted!

    My first session was an intense emotional experience that ended with clarity that I didn't know I needed. I felt such a release in the days to come that I do not have the words to explain. I thought I knew what to expect for my second session but it was such a different experience. A more physical and energy based experience. I cannot express the gratitude I have for Julie and her guidance. 10/10 recommend.
