Advocacy is the missing piece of the health & wellness puzzle

Legally Holistic provides advocacy consulting to working professionals who want to reclaim their health and happiness.

If you’re a worker in the U.S., chances are you feel stuck in survival mode. As the very rich get richer while the middle class dwindles, it might feel like all you do is work, pay bills, deal with errands and chores, manage health issues, and raise kids. It might feel like you never have quite enough money, time, or ease. Maybe you long for more support—from the government, from your workplace, from your community—but you’re afraid to say so because you don’t want to be seen as “needy” or “difficult.” This is the plight of the modern American worker, and we at Legally Holistic believe it’s the product of our systems like late stage capitalism, hyper-individualism, patriarchy, and ableism, and the conditioning we inherit from these systems.

Of course, there is another way. With better worker benefits and protections, a different work culture, more emphasis on community and support rather than self-reliance, and a system that celebrates and accommodates all needs and abilities, we think our health and happiness would skyrocket.

But until those changes become a reality, you can find more ease and peace within these systems by learning how to navigate them. You can peel away the beliefs you’ve inherited from this conditioning and create new belief systems. You can accept and embrace your needs and learn how to express them. You can understand your rights at work and start advocating for yourself to create a more sustainable and nourishing work life.

But how?

Through advocacy!! Legally Holistic is a consulting practice that teaches the art and skill of self-advocacy to help you feel better at work, at home, and in your relationships. Founded by an employment lawyer, we combine psychology, wellness, and legal information to help you navigate American hyper-capitalist systems from a place of knowledge and confidence. We do this through workshops and courses that help you understand your needs and your rights and how to express and invoke them. We’re doing our small part to bring the power back to the people.

You deserve to feel well and have your needs met—despite the conditioning and systems that tell you otherwise. Let us be your compass on the journey to reclaim your sense of agency and magic.

Hi, I’m Julia.

I’m a Berkeley Law graduate who represents workers facing unlawful treatment from their employers. I love standing up for humans against the exploitative forces of American hyper-capitalism. My lighter interests include the forest, healthy cooking, writing, design and creating beauty, comedy, and gardening. I’m knowledgeable about mindfulness and psychology, including attachment theory, somatic healing, nervous system retraining, and nonviolent communication, and I’m skilled at holding space for others.

After experiencing chronic illness, I’ve become passionate about holistic health and realized just how much American norms like rugged individualism, lack of emotional attunement, and hard-driving work culture cause and perpetuate mental and physical health issues. I founded Legally Holistic to merge what I’ve learned through my personal and professional experiences, and to empower workers to reclaim their needs, health, and happiness.
