Julie Smith

With over 20 years of corporate management experience, I understand first-hand the stress of working in a corporate environment and leading a busy life.  As a professional working in the city, I started to meditate to calm my overactive mind and feel more grounded. However, meditation gave me so much more… it helped to improve my sleep, transform my health, strengthen my focus and boost my energy levels.

I founded ‘Success Through Stillness’ (a blend of both traditional and modern meditation methods), to help people find long term, lasting relief from their overactive mind, stress, anxious feelings and poor sleep, so that they have energy for the important things in their life.

I trained in various eastern philosophies and meditation methods in Nepal, India, Thailand, Canada, Italy, Scotland and England.  I am an accomplished speaker and commentator on issues relevant to meditation.  I also authored the chapter “Managing conflict in the workplace” in Tell Stories Get Hired.

My main meditation teacher, Alan Wallace, is a student of the Dalai Lama and is highly regarded as a worldwide authority in the scientific and meditation communities.  As part of my commitment to bring the benefits of meditation to a wider audience, I am on the board of the Contemplative Consciousness Network (CCN) charity, which supports the integration of science and meditation.
