Julia de’Caneva
Julia de’Caneva, CMT-P, is a writer and Holistic Health Coach exploring the intersection of life, death, cancer, and everything in between. She believes deeply in the necessity of reconnecting to Nature, and thereby ourselves, as the path to find true wellness and reestablish reciprocity with Earth.
Julia’s training experience includes a Health Coaching Certification through IIN, Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaching, 200HR vinyasa yoga teacher, 30HR yin yoga teacher, UCLA Mindful (then MARC) Training in Mindfulness Facilitation, Yoga Nidra Facilitation, reiki levels I + II, Going With Grace Death Doula, and a Metabolic Approach to Cancer Certified Terrain Advocate.
She loves to weave these modalities together with her deep knowledge of behavioral psychology, and drawing on her time as a professional home + digital organizer, as well as her BFA in graphic design. Together it creates a recipe for shedding modern constructs and finding true ease, slow living, and safe connection to Earth and others.
At elemental, Julia helps shape the texture of the experience, bringing warmth, groundedness, somatic wisdom and a deep respect for life’s thresholds. Her presence supports slowing down, listening inward and finding gentler ways of being with oneself and our Earth.
