I am a French coach and trainer who has been living in Tokyo since 2022. I am originally from the South of France but I called Paris home for 16 years. In between I also lived in Germany, Poland and California. In 2018 I got married and moved to Singapore. Thanks to the French administration my full name is now Julie Gachet Ep Mitrovic or GEM!
After more than 10 years working in Admin and HR, I embarked on a long-thought after career change by enrolling at The School of Positive Psychology in Singapore. I finished my Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology just before welcoming my first child in 2020. Through my postpartum, the pandemic, and a move to Japan, I completed my Master in Applied Positive Psychology from Anglia Ruskin University (UK) in 2022 working on the psychological wellbeing of first-time parents.
I have always been a firm believer in the mind-body connection. I have studied Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) while practicing Yoga for more than 10 years. I felt something was missing in my practice so I trained with Mark Walsh and Christina Dohr (between others) to become a certified Embodiment Coach in 2023. A life-long learner, I am currently finishing my Embodiment Toolkit Certification.
I draw inspiration from meeting people from around the world, and love creating meaningful connections, while expanding and sharing my knowledge to support people in their mental health and wellbeing.
