From the boardroom to the break room
"It was music to my ears to hear how popular Julia was with the audience and the positive impact she had. Attendees felt empowered, validated and motivated. Informative and entertaining — with a few finishing off by saying 'That was the best Admin Away Day Conference yet.' Now what am I to do next year!"
Bella Mamae · Te Whatu Ora, Health NZ
"Julia's value as a speaker is in her talent for engaging listeners with her pragmatic, interactive and light approach. People walked away with a new found acceptance of mental health concerns at our conference — and learned how to claim their challenges and work through their pain with integrity."
Neerja Singh · PSAI India Conference
"We absolutely loved what Julia brought to our event! She connected through relatable stories and humour, and her content was spot-on. Engaging, practical, and inspiring. Her frameworks give our audience real, practical tools to manage stress and build resilience — a highlight of our event."
Event Organiser · NYLD Young Leaders Tour
"Julia Grace spoke on mental health of leaders — self-care and caring for others. She was so effective and informative, as well as deeply impacting. Her use of personal stories, song, humour and current information makes her presentation hugely equipping for leaders."
Lloyd Rankin · National Leaders Event, Vineyard NZ
"Julia was a breeze to work with — happy to fit in with what we wanted, totally adaptable, and would be relatable to any audience."

Education
In staff rooms and school communities
"Julia Grace recently spoke at our combined schools' teacher-only day. Not only was she inspirational, funny and informative — she helped challenge me personally to share my own mental health journey with my staff. Thank you Julia, for giving me the confidence to accept my own personal challenges."
Primary School Principal · Teacher Only Day
"Julia Grace truly has a gift to explain what could be a heavy topic in a way that is understandable, relatable and real."
P Caldwell · Auckland Education Summit
"When I saw the speaker was on for 90 minutes I thought — oh no! But when she finished I honestly thought she could have gone for way longer. I loved every minute."
Auckland Kahui Ako Event
"Julia gave great tools to the kids to explain their emotions and strategies to express their need for help in 'wobbly' terms."
Youth Leader · Kumeu
"An incredible way to finish the day! I found myself laughing out loud, reflecting on the state of mental health in our country — and was left wiping my tears away after she sang. Will be following Julia's mahi closely."
Imagine It Conference
"She is so engaging, I forgot we were on Zoom!"

Terry Gasparich · Auckland Executive Club
