I found Julianna when searching for a yoga class shortly after moving to Maleny nearly a year ago. I had tried 2 other yoga classes, but as soon as I joined Julianna’s Dru Yoga class, I knew it was just what I was looking for. As a bonus, Julianna is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and I decided she would be perfect to help me with some long-term physical health issues I had been suffering with, via one-on-one sessions. After a few months of weekly yoga classes and commencing the individualised exercise program she had prescribed for me, I felt more energetic and the chronic knee pain I had been suffering with became pain free. The knee pain had previously prevented me from doing certain poses, this freed up and general movement returned. I am 63 years old and I believe that I have achieved my goal of maintaining (and even improving) my strength and flexibility over this period of time. I have happily kept going with my yoga and prescribed and progressed exercises. The classes are fun and I always have a sense of calm and well-being afterward. I can highly recommend Julianna who has a wealth of knowledge and experience in many wellness modalities.

I found Julianna through word of mouth, and from the very first session, I knew she was the one. After a historical shoulder surgery, I was left with persistent pain that dramatically affected my day to day life. Nothing I’d tried had made a real difference — until Julianna. I decided to commit to a year long strategy of weekly sessions, and it was the best decision I could have made. Julianna’s private, one-on-one sessions were completely tailored to my needs and where I was at — no cookie-cutter routines. We combined yoga, floorwork and reformer Pilates, and she was always incredibly intuitive, knowing exactly when to push and when to pull back. A breakthrough moment for me came a few months in, when I realised I'd gone an entire week without any pain — something I hadn’t experienced in years. It felt like getting a part of my life back. Since then, we’ve moved on to using weights in a range of exercises I never thought I’d be capable of. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been, not just physically but mentally too. Julianna is a highly skilled practitioner and together with her genuine care, patience, and ability to really see her clients is what sets her apart. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

“She is the real deal: deeply skilled, endlessly supportive, and completely committed to your wellbeing.”
I began working with Julianna 12 months ago while dealing with prolonged emotional trauma and burnout. I came to her with persistent headaches, insomnia, pain, anxiety, depression, and a severely dysregulated nervous system. I thought I was just looking for someone to replace my personal trainer—maybe help with my neck and shoulders, and do some one-on-one yoga. What I didn’t realise was that I was about to gain a true advocate for my healing. From our first session, I felt seen, supported, and genuinely cared for. Julianna brings incredible knowledge and a rare kind of kindness and presence. She crafted a path completely tailored to me—blending movement, mindfulness, and nervous system support in a way that was grounding and empowering. I experienced profound calm and regulation during our sessions, and gained tools to maintain the improvements. I’ve told Julianna she’s felt like a lifeline. Of all the treatments I tried, working with her had the most lasting and transformative impact—physically, emotionally, and energetically. If you're looking for someone to walk beside you—who’ll champion you, challenge you, and hold space for your growth—I can’t recommend Julianna highly enough. She’s the real deal: deeply skilled, endlessly supportive, and truly committed to your wellbeing.

I first saw Julianna for individualised sessions for support with a chronic eye condition following eye surgery. Her deep knowledge of exercise physiology and her intuitive, compassionate approach made a big difference in my recovery. From there, I transitioned into her Yoga and Pilates classes, where her ability to read the room and tailor movement to each individual truly stood out. I felt safe, supported, and empowered to move within my limits. Julianna brings together science and intuition in a way that just works – I highly recommend her.

I have been training with Julianna for seven years. I commenced with strengthening and toning classes for seniors, then my yoga journey re-commenced after years of not doing any formal exercise. I found it extremely beneficial to my health and rewarding in keeping me active and independent. I still do my own gardening, and live independently. Julianna has motivated me to exercise and move daily, as much as possible. I have always been active all my life, a dancer in my younger years, and I thank Julianna and her re-introduction of Yoga and prescribed exercise for keeping me flexible and active in my later years
