Hello, I am Julie!
Originally from the South of France, I have been living in Tokyo with my family since 2022. Before that I was in Singapore for 4 years and called Paris home for 16 years.
In between I also lived in Germany, Poland and California. In 2018 I got married and thanks to the French administration my full name is now Julie Gachet Ep Mitrovic or GEM!
My Story
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 diploma 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 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.
My Philosophy
I'm convinced of the importance of the mind-body connection. Beyond academics, I have studied Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) while practicing various style of Yoga for more than 10 years.
I also believe in female empowerment and I'm volunteering with a nonprofit organization supporting women working in Japan. I facilitate a group of women entrepreneurs to help them launch their business.
