About

Tanglewood was the name of the property on which I grew up. Given the name by my Father, Jeffrey B. Smith Sr., the land was covered with overgrowth full of thorns, poison ivy and tangles. Overtime, and with the hard work and the help of a hungry goat and lamb, the land was cleared leaving plenty of space for hide-and-seek, football and the riding of bikes. When we are born we arrive in a perfect state of joy and well-being. As long as our needs are met, we thrive. ​Over time tangles of programming and experience bury that part of us that is meant to shine out to the world. Tanglewood - once a gem among the beautiful Victorian homes in the historic Baltimore neighborhood, Sudbrook Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, became hidden, disguised under years of neglect. As humans we turn away from our needs, we become passive in life, allowing days to whir by while feeling lost, off course, numb, or even in pain. Julie recognized that she too had become lost, feeling far away from her purpose, so began the work to find her way back to who she intended to be. Through her Certification as a Life Coach and a Level II Reiki Healer, she began to connect with those who were in search of what she offered. In alignment with all that she was meant to be while here on this Earth, life began to unfold with effortless ease - the way she believes it is meant to be. Sure, there were times of sadness, struggle, and landing off-course, but by using easily accessible tools, she finds her way back to her path and to a place of homeostasis and Peace.
