My Approach
Workshops + Education
Weathervane Workshops provide space to listen, learn, and reflect with each other as community members. They provide opportunities to shift the culture. Our Workshops are an opportunity for education and empowerment.
Current Workshops offered are:
What is Grief + How do we support it?
The Latitude of Gratitude Project
Self Care and Coping Strategies
We will design and facilitate tailored Weathervane Workshops to fit your group’s distinct needs, and work with people of all ages! Let’s collaborate!
Grief Doula + Mental Health Counseling
Weathervane Counseling + Grief Doula services offer clients ways to prepare, acknowledge, and live through the unique challenges of life. Working towards or through change is a process that takes time, love, practice and patience; no journey is the same. At Weathervane we acknowledge that grief is any and all type of loss and change in life. Big or small, I’m honored to guide you through this sometimes unbelievably difficult change.
What is a Grief Doula? A Grief Doula is someone who educates, advocates and cares for people experiencing Grief. Or in Doula terms: educates, cares for and assists in delivering our individual or collective grief to the surface. Being a child griever who has learned about my own and other’s journeys from a young age to present tense, I am ready to guide you through your own journey in balancing grief and life.
Grief Support Groups
Weathervane Grief Groups are designed as courageous spaces to learn about, feel and process difficult changes in life . These intimate group sessions allow people to come together and make space to learn about and understand their grief.
Weathervane Grief Groups can be held in private via collaboration with your company that has lost a valued member of your team, or through individuals and/or families that contact us. We also have public offerings through our own practice being offered seasonally, Spring Groups are starting soon!
“Julie gave me the gift to develop a healthy relationship with grief, like I would a loved one... I still grieve. The difference is that I now know a healthier way to respond other than retreating and dissociating.”
— Shane Bernardo, Food As Healing
We’re All In This Together
Life Changes. Grief. Loss. Cultural Competency. Growth. We can cover it all. Together.
I appreciate the openness it takes to speak about topics that impact us and others deeply, especially to someone you’ve never met! And you’ve already taken the first step by being here. Let’s talk.
Click to schedule your free 20 minute consultation via phone, in person, or video chat. I work with some insurances if you’re looking for individual services and on a sliding scale for one-on-one sessions, this means you choose your fee from our Weathervane scale.
Detroit, where Weathervane was born and is based, continues to shape the practice in relationship with its citizens, organizations, and culture. We appreciate the ability to travel to a client’s space(s) - whether local or international, meet virtually, or wherever you may feel comfortable. We begin all client relationships from a place of learning about you, in your comfort zone.
Julie, Weathervane’s director, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Grief Doula, and supreme hug giver. Her work is informed by continuous learning around the intersections of social and cultural awareness, and the traumatic death of her brother as a young person.
At Weathervane we know that navigating through times of change, loss, or growth can be difficult. We are here to support your journey with love and accountability.
