CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SOUL-FULL MIND COLLEGE - COMMUNITY WRITE UPST LEONARDS MEMORIAL HALL
It brings us great pleasure to congratulate The Soul-Full Mind College on receiving the prestigious award of The Best Global Holistic Therapies Training Provider in Victoria.
This recognition acknowledges the college's commitment to excellence, innovation, and empowering individuals through holistic practices. It is a testament to the tireless efforts of Julie-Anne, as well as the positive impact she has had on countless lives throughout the St Leonards community.
The award reaffirms the college's position as a leader in the field, inspiring others to embark on their own transformative journeys. Julie-Anne embarked on a journey of sharing her wisdom through various avenues, including weekly meditation classes, specialised kids' classes, meditation programs, empowering workshops, and women's circles.
In 2016, she took her first steps as a teacher by guiding just two students in the relaxation response exercise at the St Leonards Memorial Hall. This humble beginning marked the birthplace of something truly remarkable.
In 2018, Julie-Anne embarked on a new chapter in her teaching journey by joining Mind Body Education as a teacher for the HICAT course. Little did she know this opportunity would lead her to an incredible honour—the chance to teach in Jodhpur, India, with Mind Body Education. Teaching in India, a place that has a profound impact on one's soul, was a truly remarkable experience for Julie-Anne. During her flight to India that year, Julie-Anne had a powerful vision. She saw herself running a college, dedicated to imparting these transformative courses.
To her delight, this vision became a reality in March 2019, when she established The Soul-Full Mind College. It was a dream come true for Julie-Anne, as she now had the platform to teach these life-changing courses and empower others on their journeys.
In her role as a teacher, Julie-Anne possesses an extraordinary gift—the ability to perceive people's true potential and guide them in uncovering the layers that hinder their progress towards greatness. With her guidance, students thrive within the classrooms, breaking free from the barriers that hold them back and stepping into their own paths of brilliance.
The journey of transformation and empowerment continues to unfold at the cherished St Leonards Memorial Hall, where Julie-Anne's teaching legacy thrives. It is within this sacred space that she continues to inspire and uplift others on their quests for greatness. Julie-Anne holds a deep sense of gratitude towards St Leonards Memorial Hall for providing her with the space to grow both personally and professionally.
This gratitude fuels her dedication to giving back to the hall and ensuring its continued thriving presence within the community. She recognises the significant role the hall plays in facilitating and enabling profound experiences, fostering connections, nurturing community, and creating cherished memories.
A genuine commitment where individuals can come together, grow, and contribute to the community as a whole.
Indeed, this space has witnessed the birth of remarkable endeavours throughout its time, and many more endeavours to come. - St Leonards Progress Association
