"I have worked with Julie as a coach, mentor and a friend over the last 3 years. In all three roles Julie has positively impacted my life in multiple ways. Her passion, knowledge and deep practical experience with spirituality and its tools are her strengths. She is always able to find the right spiritual solution that is relevant for me and my challenge. Most importantly, she has always gone out of her way to make sure that I was able to learn and implement the tools for my benefit.

So if you are on a journey seeking answers about who you are and to make sense of your life and are looking for a spiritual coach who is knowledgeable, passionate, results driven and most importantly, invested in your success, then look no further. You will not find any one better than Julie."
Chetan, Milpitas, CA

"Working with Julie has been one of the most profound experiences of my personal and spiritual journey. Before reaching out to her, I was scared, confused, and completely stuck in my Archetype Shadow work. I couldn't make my way through any of the Twelve, no matter how hard I tried. Yet, I kept feeling this gentle nudge—seeing her radiant face, sensing her soft and loving energy, and feeling the incredible expanse of her aura calling me in.

Finally, I listened to that call and asked if she had a moment. She responded with such grace, and from that moment onward, everything began to shift. The session that followed was nothing short of life-changing. The healing that unfolded was deep, powerful, and liberating—like light breaking through layers of shadow I didn't even realize I was still carrying.

Julie holds space in a way that feels both celestial and grounding. Her intuitive guidance, compassion, and presence create an environment where transformation feels safe, natural, and inevitable. I left our session feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned.

If you're being guided toward Julie, trust that nudge. She is a true healer, a luminous soul, and a gift to anyone ready to do the deep work of self-discovery and healing." Samantha, Cayman Islands

"I have been lucky enough to have Julie as one of my mentors on my spiritual growth journey. She has successfully guided me through my past life reviews, shadow work exercises and different kinds of workshops as a teacher. Her way of explaining things is really clear and warm, and I can easily understand her teachings, and if some rare occasions I don't, she makes sure that I do. Julie does this work with 100% dedication and with a huge heart that she has. She is highly talented and open hearted, and her intuition and insights have helped me a lot on my spiritual journey. I have gone through the deepest darkness, which has been part of my spiritual path and I believe that I made it, because I got the best help that one could possibly have on earth. Julie is one of the mentors who really helped me especially to get through the hardest part of my journey. My path would have not been the same without her, so I am forever grateful and really lucky to have her as a mentor ❤️"

“Julie and I first became connected around 3 years ago, when my cat was in a fatal condition. Within hours of Julie’s facilitation, my cat was eating and looked healthy and fine. This was after a few days of the vets saying that she had only a few days left to live and if she didn’t have surgery, she wouldn’t make It. The vets did an x-ray and even recommended I take her to another vet if I can find a more affordable one and to act quickly. I was unable to pay for surgery at the time. After Julie facilitated, she called to let me know on a spiritual level and energetically, how my cat was affected by my emotions and taught me that how to transform my relationship with my companion cat to help her.

Since then, she has been my facilitator for myself, cats, and other loved ones. She has helped me transform my life in ways I can never thank her enough or express in words fully. She is a very effective facilitator in many ways such as clearing, balancing, healing, as well as chakra healing.

For clearing, I can always tell a major lift from myself- I feel clearer, lighter, unaffected by other influences and just myself; headaches or other physical symptoms lift away. I am sensitive to the spiritual world and can sense the presence of negative beings around me but I’m not yet able to clear these souls away. At times, I can hear a muffled chatter that is bothersome and distracting and sometimes I see beings and am afraid; this all goes away after Julie’s clearings and I feel safe and peaceful in my home and surroundings.

As for healing, I have experienced so many wonderful benefits and have been able to reclaim my life. She has helped me to heal emotional wounds and blockages.

I feel like the real me and more myself than I have in a long time with Julie’s help.”

Mariah, Glasgow, KY

"Julie Cheifetz has been an incredible guide and support in my life over the past three years. Her coaching has helped me navigate both personal and spiritual growth with clarity and compassion. The past life review sessions I've done with her have been powerful, insightful, and deeply grounding — offering me perspectives I wouldn't have reached on my own. Julie has a rare gift: she brings wisdom and practical insight without ever being intrusive. Her kindness, intuition, and steady presence have made a lasting difference in my life, and I'm deeply grateful for all she's shared with me."
Liz, Bradenton, FL

"I thank Coach Julie for the archetype/shadow coaching, it has been helpful to me; I will definitely recommend her to any one who needs archetype/shadow coaching. The introduction given by her prepared me to feel comfortable and detach during the session, which prevented me from experiencing any severe emotions or pains as I use to. I thank her for helping me to identify the shadows in my archetypes, neutralised it energies to become the best version of myself. It was very helpful and I really enjoyed the session with Julie."
Victoria, Greater Accra Region, Ghana

"I met Julie in August of 2022 when my sweet dog was 12 years old and struggling with health issues. Her back legs would shake all the time, she could barely make it up the steps without my help, and her hips just looked stiff all of the time. We had tried everything—red light therapy, chiropractic care, medication, and CBD—but nothing seemed to help.

The first time Julie did clearing, balancing, and healing work on Zaria, the shaking stopped within an hour. I couldn't believe it. Her other symptoms eased too, and I could tell she finally felt comfortable in her body again. I was still pretty new to energy work at the time, but seeing such a physical shift happen right before my eyes made me a total believer.

After that, I stopped all of the other treatments and continued with Julie's sessions. Thanks to her, Zaria was able to live out the rest of her years happy, comfortable, and pain-free. I'm forever grateful for the love, care, and healing Julie brought into both of our lives."
Kaelee, Tulsa, OK

“I thank Julie for helping us to be better and more grounded. I feel less stress and learning to tell myself I do things perfectly instead of being fearful. My children have been handling school work with a calm approach lately, and not worrying about what’s comign but just what is happenng presently. Makes a huge difference! We feel balanced and lighter lately. We all have noticed this!”
Theresa, Bethel Park, PA

“The archetype/shadow work session with Julie was very healing for me. Julie's voice was calming and her instructions were great. I was able to relax and focus on the interaction/conversation with the shadow self instead of focusing on how I was going to have the conversation. I was relaxed and in deep in Alpha, my responses to the questions surprised me. I recall people that I hadn't thought of in years. I connected those people with situations that I buried. It was very healing and beneficial for me in my journey, thank God!”
Rhonda, Chicago, IL

"I've done quite a few life review sessions with Julie, and each one has been such a powerful experience. She guided me so gently through the process and created such a safe, beautiful space for healing to happen. Going into the first session, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. I honestly doubted myself and wasn't sure if I'd be able to get to where I needed to be or receive what I was meant to. But Julie made me feel completely comfortable and guided me right to that place. She helped me trust, let go, and allow everything to flow exactly as it needed to."
Kaelee, Tulsa, OK

"Working with Julie on chakra coaching was a powerful and transformative experience. She helped me understand how energy flows through each chakra and guided me in identifying and clearing blocks that were holding me back. Her sessions gave me tools I now use in my own business and daily practice to stay balanced and aligned. Julie has such a gentle yet insightful way of teaching — I always left our sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more confident in my own energy work."
Carolina, Vidalia, GA

"Julie's archetype workshop and chakra balancing workshop that I attended were an enlightening and deeply inspiring experience. Her ability to guide through complex spiritual concepts with clarity, compassion, and insight created a truly transformative environment. Julie's thoughtful facilitation encouraged meaningful reflection and personal growth, helping me connect more deeply with my own purpose and path. I left the workshop feeling empowered, centered, and grateful for the wisdom she shared." Young Wha, Anaheim, CA

"I worked with Julie on interviewing Archetypes to better understand how they impact my life. Julie, as the coach in the interviewing process provided very insightful and well thought out questions to guide my responses. I could tell she spent much time and thought in preparation for the session. I was helped a lot in my Archetype understanding journey by her leadership and highly recommend working with her guidance." Donna, Greenwood, SC

"I've been working together with Julie for a few years now and have most recently participated in an archetype workshop she coached. Her attention to detail is second to none and she had answers for questions that I didn't even realize I had the first time I went through the material on my own. She presented the material in a way that made it easy to digest and understand. She's very knowledgeable as is evident on how well she is able to communicate the material in a very effective way. Julie is very attentive to all of the participants and is able to give individual attention while remaining engaged with the group.

I've also had Julie coach me through each of the different life reviews, prenatal life review, childhood and past life. This was a very new process for me and it took me a lot to get through the different life reviews especially the past life. Feelings of frustration came up which made the first life review very rocky but Julie was able to coach me through the sessions we did where I was able to receive healing and invaluable lessons to grow.

In the different sessions I've participated in with Julie coaching, I know I'm getting her best which is seen through her presence and preparation."
David, Anaheim, CA

"Julie has worked on my chakras multiple times, and each experience has been nothing short of transformative. I remember one particular time when I had a very important call scheduled. I was so nervous that I felt physically sick to my stomach. Julie did clearing, balancing, and chakra work for me beforehand, and when the time came, I felt completely different. I was able to speak my truth, hold firm to my boundaries, and move through the call without fear. That shift was huge for me.

There have been other times when I felt completely out of sorts, disconnected, and unable to find my footing. Julie's chakra work brought me back to myself—back to a place of grounding, peace, and calm. After her sessions, I could breathe more deeply, feel centered, and step forward again with clarity and confidence.

Julie has a rare gift. While she is talented in all the work she offers, her connection to the chakras and the depth of knowledge she carries in this area is unlike anyone I've ever encountered. She doesn't just 'do energy work'—she holds space with such compassion, intuition, and wisdom that the experience leaves a lasting imprint. I am so grateful for the light she brings to this work and to everyone she serves."
Kaelee, Tulsa, OK

"Julie has been a Miraculous Angel to my family!! My dog Sabbath… A large Cane Corso had a recurring eye infection that left him maimed and suffering in discomfort!! I could only watch as veterinary services brushed it off as common breed allergies that required life long medication just to bandaid the problem. Nothing got to the root of the problem until Julie.

My kids and I were in disbelief. How could this be??… Julie gave my dog a whole new quality of life!! Seeing was believing!

Julie is the most compassionate, loving, Gifted soul on this earth!! She helps manage my daughter's mental health challenges while also helping them overcome physical pain! She keeps all of us collected and able to tackle anything that's ahead!! 💕… I'm almost 60 yrs old and thanks to Julie I'm discovering and creating a whole new me!!

We all are so blessed 🐾🐾"
Theresa, Bethel Park, PA

"Julie healed and balanced our cat's chakras. He was stressed, lethargic and aggressive. After we asked Julie for assistance—he was calm, energetic and back to his old self. We highly recommend working with her."
Adriane, Lexington, KY

"Julie is amazing when it comes to helping me with feeling completely at ease when I travel. I love to travel, but I always get a little nervous about the details. Now, I just give her my itinerary and she does all of the clearing and balancing for me which is such a blessing. Thanks to her, things always go smoothly and as they're meant to. It's made such a difference for me knowing that I can relax and just enjoy the journey."

"Julie is a godsend! I've struggled with lower back pain, core weakness, and posture issues for years. I've tried working out consistently, walking, and adding more stretching into my routine, but nothing really helped. Then I contacted Julie. She introduced me to muscles I had never purposefully engaged before, and it completely changed the way I view exercise. She's helped me understand how to activate and stretch different areas in a way that actually supports my body. This is just the beginning, and I'm excited to see the progress as we continue working together. No matter what stage of fitness you're in, Julie can help. I'd recommend her to anyone!"
Evelyn, Corpus Christi, TX

"Julie is an exceptional Pilates instructor. She understands my strengths and limitations, challenges me appropriately and gives me clear and thoughtful instruction at every online session. Her attention to detail is second to none. Each week I can count on her for an individualized program designed just for me; there is no cookie cutter approach with Julie. She gently guides me toward the goals I want to achieve and celebrates each accomplishment. She is a kind, sensitive, and thoughtful teacher, highly observant and attuned to not just the physical but the emotional and mental as well. I look forward to my sessions with her every week."
Andrea, Highland Park, IL

"I started going to Julie in person around ten or 12 years ago. I saw her once a week at her home, where she had a Reformer and other Pilates equipment. Through that work I got stronger and felt more centered in my own body. Then COVID hit and we began seeing each other on Zoom. For the past six years I have been seeing Julie twice a week for one hour each time, all virtually.

I was initially skeptical about doing Pilates on Zoom. I was concerned that Julie wouldn't be able to see when I was out of position or doing a move incorrectly. I was wrong. Julie is extraordinarily well trained and is incredibly aware of how our bodies work. She is able to see the smallest imperfection in my positioning and immediately corrects me. She prepares for each session by reviewing her notes from the last session. Her notes are detailed and provide a great starting point for the next time we get together. Her professionalism and attention to detail make her an outstanding instructor.

In addition to regular Pilates exercises, Julie often leads me through a deep breathing/grounding exercise that has helped me to identify and ease some areas of my body that have long carried pain and tightness. My shoulders and neck have especially benefitted from this work. I so appreciate her ability to guide me through this exercise.

I am in the best shape of my life and I owe much of it to Julie's guidance and expertise. Anyone who is looking to get stronger and stand straighter should work with Julie. As she always says, 'There's strong, and there's Mat Pilates strong.' Take it from me, there's nothing better than feeling Mat Pilates strong."
Judy, Deerfield, IL

"Julie is the best Pilates teacher I have ever worked with. I am very impressed with her knowledge of the human body. She always knows exactly what I need to work on and develops appropriate sessions."
BM, Highland Park, IL

"After 5 years of life without Pilates, I am so happy that my schedule allowed me to rejoin Julie's remote classes! Julie made me feel so comfortable easing back into the class…it was as if I had only missed a few weeks! I love the convenience of the remote classes and Julie is so wonderful in creating an atmosphere that feels like we're all in the same room. She continues to bring new ideas and elements into each week's class just as she did when I started taking her classes in person many years ago. And she is so spot on in identifying our movement/alignment and when necessary, helping us make the subtle adjustments so that the exercises have the greatest impact. It's very impressive!!"
Laura, Deerfield, IL

"My years with Julie have impacted my overall attitude regarding movement. It has been a pleasure to work with her and learn how to listen to my body! Julie really did make such a difference in how I move in my life today."
Terry, Northbrook, IL

"I am very much aware of the mental connections Julie makes to our muscles as we are moving. Julie brings such grace and knowledge to us all and I am so appreciative. I am grateful to be able to continue to learn from Julie in our bone health classes."
Renee, South Haven, MI

"Julie's Bone Health class is the perfect way to start your week! I am much stronger and more flexible due to taking her classes. Julie's deep knowledge of bone health and body anatomy informs each class. She integrates this knowledge to keep class interesting and fun. She is also attentive to each person's form and gently corrects us if needed. I enjoy that I can attend from anywhere and don't have to leave the house to get to class. Julie's classes support my goal to stay healthy and strong."
Vicki, Deerfield, IL

"I love working with Julie because she is very knowledgeable about bone health. She provides the right balance of continually encouraging me to get stronger, in a way I feel safe and comfortable."
Susan, Highland Park, IL

"Julie is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Pilates, having studied the practice for decades. She is excellent at providing a variety of exercises for bone density and modifying them when appropriate for individual clients' particular needs. She is very open to listening to feedback and making suggested changes, and is continually looking for ways to incorporate new exercises to the class repertoire." Martha, Deerfield, IL
