Wild Atlantic Healing
Reconnect with the wisdom of your Celtic ancestors through food, herbs, and holistic living
Most modern health advice isn’t built for you.
It’s generic, disconnected from the land,
and missing something essential…
your ancestral roots.
At Wild Atlantic Healing, I guide Celtic-descended people back to the foods, herbs, and healing traditions of their homelands. Because when you nourish your body in alignment with your heritage, something profound happens: you feel whole.

What I Offer
Your body remembers. Your ancestors knew.

Healing is ancestral.
If your ancestors hailed from the rugged and beautiful lands surrounding the Wild North Atlantic Ocean, their diet evolved to support resilience in a cold, windy, and damp climate, and your genetic blueprint still carries the imprint of those ancestral adaptations.

Bioregional healing is powerful.
The plants and foods that grow in your ancestral lands are uniquely suited to support your well-being. If you’re of Northern Atlantic descent and struggle to digest spicy or pungent foods, nightshades, coffee, legumes, or even tropical fruits, this is because many people with Celtic ancestry lack genetic adaptations for digesting these foods. By working with nature rather than against it, and eating the foods and herbs your ancestors thrived on, you restore harmony within yourself.

Your ancestral wisdom holds the missing piece.
Most people who find their way here have tried holistic healing before, only to feel like something is missing. Maybe you’ve explored Western nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine, or Ayurveda, searching for a way to feel your best. But if those systems weren’t built around the foods, lifestyle practices, and herbs of your lineage, they may have only taken you so far. You need healing that’s rooted in your story.

A Note from Julie
My wellness journey began 30 years ago when an autoimmune disorder and allergies left me feeling okay, but not great. Determined to take control of my health, I immersed myself in learning how nutrient-dense foods and herbs could reverse illness.
This path led me to Ayurveda and Advanced Herbalism, where I discovered the profound healing power of ancestral foods. I noticed that eating traditional foods from my heritage – Ireland, Scotland, and Britain – transformed my energy, endurance, and sleep.
A pivotal moment came when I realized that rice and beans (not part of my lineage) caused gas and constipation, while potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and onions left me feeling energized and alive. This was a truly revealing moment in my healing journey.
Since then, I’ve continued to heal, and interestingly, the older I get, the better I feel! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding many people toward their ancestral foods, serving as both a clinical practitioner and teacher to those seeking deeper wellness.
