Plan with Confidence

Julia's core keynote is Be Kind to Your Mind, a science-backed, story-driven mental health and wellbeing session. For corporate and workplace audiences it becomes Working Well. For school staff and education professionals it becomes Be Kind to Your Mind for Educators. Each session also includes the option to add One Degree of Change, a practical follow-on module. Julia also delivers VOICE for Leaders, Early Responders, and is a certified Mental Health First Aid instructor.

Yes. Julia has presented on five continents and is available for events across Australia, Asia, the Pacific, the UK, and beyond. She is based in Northland, New Zealand and travels regularly for international engagements.

Sessions range from 45 minutes through to a full day. The most common formats are a 60-minute keynote, a 90-minute interactive workshop, or a combined half-day or full-day programme. Julia will work with you to find the right fit for your event.

Julia's requirements are simple: a lapel or handheld microphone, a screen, and a clicker. She provides her own slides in advance and brings her own guitar. Standard conference AV is all that's needed.

Yes, always. Julia takes time before every event to understand your audience, context, and goals. Sessions are tailored to reflect your industry, your people, and what you need them to leave with.

Julia presents comfortably to audiences from 20 to 2,000 or more. Room setup can be theatre, classroom, or cabaret style.

Yes. Julia is available for fully online and hybrid event delivery. Get in touch to discuss format, platform, and how to make the session work well for a virtual audience.

As early as possible. Julia's calendar fills quickly, particularly for Term 1 and Term 3 education events and the second half conference season. For international events, early booking is especially important. Enquire early to avoid missing out.

Both options are available. Julia is represented by Celebrity Speakers NZ, Essential Talent NZ, and ICMI, and can also be booked directly at juliagrace.co.nz/contact.

Julia combines neuroscience, lived experience with depression and anxiety, and original music to create sessions that feel different from the moment she walks on stage. She is the PSA NZ Keynote Speaker of the Year 2025, VSA International Breakthrough Speaker of the Year 2024, and author of Be Kind to Your Mind. Audiences consistently leave with practical tools they actually use, and a session they remember long after the event.
