Before becoming a conflict mediator, coach and trainer, Julia Menard was an aerobic instructor. She was focused on leading people to higher states of vibrancy. After a year living in Japan and studying Buddhism, she introduced mindfulness into her daily practice. Now, decades later, Julia's life work is to help others engage in conflict constructively. Underneath her approach, is this dual foundation of movement and mindfulness. Her work has come together in the last year with a new book: How to Hold Onto Yourself Through Conflic - co-authored with a neuroscience therapist, Judy Zehr.
