About Your Life Coach: Julia Barnickle
Most of us take our health for granted, and I was no exception - until the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It's amazing how a serious health problem can focus your mind on what's important in your life, and encourage you to listen to your own intuition and take a close look at what's working and what needs changing.
I've also been through redundancy, following an eighteen year career in the IT industry, after which I made the decision to start my own business and train to become a life coach, so I'm familiar with the stresses and uncertainty which accompany major changes in lifestyle - and I'm well aware that a positive attitude is crucial.
The key to being happy and healthy is to create a balanced lifestyle - in ALL areas of your life. However, even when you know that lifestyle change is "for your own good", it can be a tough journey, changing the bad habits of a lifetime and developing a more caring and nurturing attitude towards yourself. That's why it's good to have a travelling companion like me, who's been through a similar experience. I can help keep you focused on the tangible benefits of a healthier and happier lifestyle.
I'm an experienced Life Coach and I've recently undergone additional training to gain a Professional Coaching Certificate, accredited by the International Coach Federation.
I've also completed training to become a Health Creation Mentor with Dr Rosy Daniel, former Medical Director at the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, and now Medical Director of Health Creation in Bath, both in the UK.
So strong is my belief in the benefits of life coaching that I regularly work with a Life Coach myself, to gain further clarity about what I want in my life and my business, as well as attending personal development workshops.

I live with my husband in New Malden, on the borders of South-West London and Surrey, in the UK. I'm a writer and photographer, I love to read whatever's within focusing distance, travel and meet new people, design websites for life coaches and creative businesses, and sing backing vocals, alongside my husband, in a rock / soul / R'n'B covers band!
