She has owned and directed three Yoga and Health studios in Brisbane and North Stradbroke Island, Ayurbody, Turf Studios and Body Essence. Juliet and her small family, husband Damian and two sons Matteo and Sando moved to Noosa in 2013. Travelling weekly to Brisbane for work proved unsustainable so it was time to close the doors on the studios and open new doors in the form of "Open Door Creative"
an integrated Innate Art and Yoga philosophy centre in Noosa's hinterland. A wonderful hub of community, empowerment, support, art and creation bringing all of Juliet's skills together. Juliet is a student for life first and has accumulated many qualifications in the health and creative industries. Juliet has a background in elite sports, national level Swimming champion aswell as national level Rowing champion by 19yrs. Unfortunately Juliet accumulated major injuries along the way including stress-fracture in her spine. Back braced and unable to sit comfortably for long periods meant that her job as a Graphic Designer and Fine artist became near impossible. Always with deep belief in the body's own ability to heal itself, the idea of surgery at such a young age was last resort so the search for healing began. It was the year 2000, with frustration of not healing quick enough Juliet headed to India on a recommendation of an Ayurvedic and Yoga Healing Centre in the Himalayas. Juliet is a fully qualified Yoga Teacher of Yoga Asana, Pranayama (breathing techniques) and Meditation, Pre/Post Natal Yoga and also has qualifications as an Advanced Ayurvedic Therapist, Tibetan Acupressure and Ayurvedic Massage. Included qualifications in Sports and Deep Tissue Massage and Matwork 3 Pilates. And an advanced diploma in Mind, Body Medicine majoring in Holistic Counselling. Juliet brings with her a wealth of knowledge when it comes to self healing, injury prevention and a general awareness of body, mind and harmony. Her clients have ranged from the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) athletes, tri-athletes and even a few Brisbane Lion's players to school students and company corporates to those simply wanting to deepen their own practice, let go of inhibition and feel more alive! Juliet is passionate about injury and ill-health prevention and has a strong desire to assist others in fine tuning their own awareness to live the healthiest and happiest lives possible!
