About Me
Julie Colvin
Author, Book Project Coach, Ghostwriter & Retreat Facilitator
I grew up in Muskoka, at my family-owned resort, and went on to become a Diagnostic Medical Imaging Technologist. During this time I got married and had two children, Emma and Will.
At the age of seven, my daughter, Emma, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This is when I engaged in a larger picture of health; one that involved holistic approaches for the mind, body and spirit. I became a Wellness Facilitator, helping both myself and others on my journey to find more balance in life.
I would not have imagined then that I would get swept up into the world of writing the way that I have now. On a serendipitous path to meet all of the right people at all the right times: book proposal coaches, writing teachers, editors and platform nerds; my journey to write a memoir, A Cure for Emma, began.
Fast forward, I got an agent and publisher on my first try and became a bestseller. Then, in response to the numerous people who reached out to me for help to write their stories, I created “Wellness & Writing Retreats,” and have since helped over seventy writers in some capacity to bring their stories to publication.
I consider myself to be a student of life and constantly strive to help create a world that is more mindful, starting with my own. I'm blessed to live next to the majestic Canadian Rockies, in Calgary, Alberta, with my two amazing teenagers, and two cats.
As we share our stories we pave the way to healing, not just for ourselves, but for the world. ~ Julie xx
