Your Host, Julie.

I’m Julie Trista, founder of Ancient Paths, and I’ll be your host.

​

I have worked in professional helping practice for more than 28 years. Throughout this journey, I have had the privilege of listening deeply to people, understanding their individual needs, and continually expanding the ways in which I can support wellbeing, growth and meaningful change.

​

Over the years, I have explored and integrated a range of approaches, drawing from psychology, psychotherapy, mindfulness, meditation, contemplative practices and mind–body approaches. This ongoing learning has shaped not only the way I work, but also the way I understand the human experience.

​

My professional background includes training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Clinical Hypnotherapy. I am also a Sand-Play Master Practitioner, and Registered Psychologist.

​

At this stage of my journey, I have chosen to share what I have learned with more people. Ancient Paths allows me to create experiences where people can come together, slow down, reconnect with themselves and explore practices that can support greater awareness, balance and inner wellbeing.

​

It is this intention that sits at the heart of Ancient Paths: creating meaningful opportunities to pause, listen inwardly, connect with others and discover new ways of travelling through life.
