Julia Sophia
​School Coordinator & Teacher

Julia Sophia is a psychological astrologer, tarot card reader, spiritual teacher, writer and artist. As a recent MSc graduate of the University of Oxford, she combines her rational mind with her intuitive faculties to help others achieve clarity and awaken their highest potential.
​
Julia Sophia’s work centers around identifying, engaging with and accessing hidden energetic patterns, which often operate beyond our rational understanding and live deeply within our bodies, minds and spirit. Her teachings on astrology and Tarot emphasise self-understanding, purpose, unlearning, and renewed self-discovery. In this process, compassion and the creation of beauty is central to all her motivations — she draws on these energies to invoke the magic necessary for truly transformative, uplifting work.
