About Your Creative Health Coach: Julia Barnickle
My Story
Most of us take our health for granted, and I was no exception - until the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It's amazing how a serious health problem can focus your mind on what's important in your life, and encourage you to listen to your own intuition and take a close look at what's working and what needs changing.
Since then my mission has been to utilise my life skills and talents to help both myself and others to get the greatest enjoyment from life, and to share all I've learned about creating happiness and health: including nutrition, exercise, relaxation, meditation, visualisation, NLP, hypnosis, yoga, healing, positive psychology and psychoneuroimmunology (how the mind affects the immune system).
To recover well from serious illness - or any setback in life - it's important to have a positive attitude, a fighting spirit, a sense of humour, and to be prepared to make radical lifestyle changes. The key to being happy and healthy is to create a balanced lifestyle - in ALL areas of your life.
However, even when you know that lifestyle change is "for your own good", it can be a tough journey, changing the bad habits of a lifetime and developing a more caring and nurturing attitude towards yourself. That's why it's good to have a travelling companion like me, who's been through a similar experience. I can help keep you focused on the tangible benefits of a healthier and happier lifestyle.
I want to help you change your life now - if you, like me, have recovered from cancer and you want life to be different in future, if you want to get rid of habits and behaviours that no longer serve you, or if you want to proactively improve your health, happiness and general wellbeing without being forced to by illness.
I've also been through redundancy, following an eighteen year career in the IT industry, after which I made the decision to start my own business and train to become a life coach, so I'm familiar with the stresses and uncertainty which accompany major changes in lifestyle. In my experience, it's a bit like standing on the edge of a precipice, with a herd of stampeding elephants behind you, and you know you have to take a step forward to get to where you want to be - but you can't see the bridge, because it's so heavily camouflaged!
I'm an experienced and qualified Life Coach, a Certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Master Practitioner of Hypnosis, Time Line Therapy(TM) Master Practitioner and Certified NLP Master Coach.
I've also trained as a Health Creation Mentor with Dr Rosy Daniel, former Medical Director at the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, and now Medical Director of Health Creation in Bath, both in the UK. Although I don't work as a Health Creation Mentor now, I recommend the Cancer Lifeline Programme, available from the Health Creation website, to anyone with cancer or other illness wanting to recover their health.

Personal Details
I live with my husband in New Malden, on the borders of South-West London and Surrey, in the UK. I'm a writer and photographer, I love to read whatever's within focusing distance, travel and meet new people, design websites for life coaches and creative businesses, and sing backing vocals, alongside my husband, in a rock / soul / R'n'B covers band!
