❀ Our Story ❀
Welcome
The Soul-Full Mind was founded in 2017, beginning from humble roots as a private practice and workshop space built on heart, connection, and a deep passion for supporting others. In the early days, just two dedicated individuals attended our weekly meditation classes. Yet week after week, we continued to show up, holding space with intention, believing deeply in the power of inner peace, healing, and personal transformation. Over time, word began to spread. What started as a small offering slowly blossomed into a thriving and heart-led community. As the needs of our community grew, so did we — evolving into an internationally recognised training provider dedicated to holistic health education. We have received numerous awards as the most Outstanding Holistic Therapy Training Provider in Victoria, which reflects our commitment to providing transformative courses.
In 2025, The Soul-Full Mind expanded further with the opening of our Wellness Hub — a nurturing sanctuary designed for growth, connection, healing, and transformation. This sacred space now offers a wide range of classes, trainings, workshops, retreats, and wellness services to support people in reconnecting with themselves and living more aligned, meaningful lives. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to community, compassion, and creating transformative experiences that remind people they are never alone on their journey.
We believe every day offers a sacred invitation to grow, heal, and return home to yourself.
Together, let us create a life led by presence, purpose, and heart.
❀ Our Why ❀
Julie-Anne's Why
It all began with a quiet vision, one that came to me 10 years ago, in a moment of stillness while I was recovering from heart surgery. In that space, I dreamt of something more—a sanctuary where people could gently slow down, reconnect, and truly come home to themselves—a place where the heart, body, and mind are held and nurtured in harmony. In 2025 my dream came true and I created a sanctuary for nervous systems, in the beachside town of Portarlington,Victoria.

Our Space
At The Soul-Full Mind, everything we offer is guided by one intention—to support, soften, and restore your nervous system. Through Yin Yoga, Meditation, Meditation Teacher Training, Holistic Counselling, and Creative Arts Therapies, we create a space for nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and embodied awareness. This is a space for regulating the nervous system, restoring balance, and returning home to your body and heart. Through our gentle, trauma-informed approach, we support you to release tension, build emotional resilience, and experience a deeper sense of calm in everyday life.
For some, this is where the journey begins to deepen—into learning, growth, and the path of becoming a teacher. Our Meditation Teacher Training is not just about gaining skills; it is a process of personal transformation. As you move through the training, you begin to embody the work in a real and grounded way, deepening your connection to yourself while learning how to guide and support others. This is where your voice begins to emerge, your presence strengthens, and your unique way of holding space takes shape. Over time, you don’t just learn how to teach—you become the calm, steady, and authentic teacher you once needed yourself, leading with confidence, care, and integrity.
Whether you are here to rest, heal, learn, or grow, you are held in a space that is
- Safe
- Nurturing
- Inclusive

Where to start is the tough part, followed by words that could even grasp the feelings and emotions towards this course, this space and towards the beautiful teacher Julie-Anne.
The Trauma Informed Meditation Teacher Training has been my second experience being taught by Julie-Anne. Id have to say it is the first learning experience where I actually felt held, safe and where my uniqueness was celebrated and not dismissed. Julie-Anne creates such a safe space to express one’s self, to learn in a space that isn’t rushed, and where you are met with compassion and understanding.
This course has been an incredible mix of information that I feel covers all different learning styles, tactile, visual, auditory and kinaesthetic, the practical was always well structured but at the same time open for individuality to shine through and of course always a little bit of gratitude and dance snuck into the sessions. The Soul-Full Mind college is a wonderful place and truly a sanctuary for the nervous system, it makes me feel like, this is what the world has the potential to be like, safe, loving, and everyone being honoured just as the divine individuals they are.
Because the way you teach Julie-Anne, you are creating a ripple, a ripple effect of love pouring out into the world. I feel this after being in your space, learning from you and also being seen by you with all your support. This course was a piece of her heart, and I could feel that, every written piece of information with intention, every practical held in class with great care. I feel as though there is something special that is a little harder to find in these days and that is heart felt service, one that is just embodying devotion to the wellbeing of others.
Whether it be, to guide others and hold space, or for your own personal development, I highly recommend the meditation teaching course, or any course, any class or any therapy session held by Julie-Anne …. They are simply divine.
Never before have I believed so much in myself, with the tools gifted. Never before have I felt so deeply seen and heard, Expansive, and damn straight inspired. And there are times where doubt may have came in, but it was always washed away by the support of Julie-Anne. But don’t just listen to me, go experience her blessings for yourself.
Thank-you, from my heart, Julie-Anne, what a blessing you and your teachings are to the world.
