My
Story

Contact Julie

I'm Julie Crawford-Smith, the heart behind Fern Gully Centre. As a Masters-qualified psychotherapist, death doula, and ceremonialist, my life's work is dedicated to walking alongside individuals during life's most transformative moments.

My journey into this work is deeply personal. Having traversed the landscapes of profound grief and personal transformation myself, I understand the courage it takes to face these thresholds. These experiences have not only shaped my professional path but have also instilled in me a deep empathy and commitment to holding space for others.

At Fern Gully Centre, I integrate therapeutic support, end-of-life guidance, and ceremonial practices to honor and navigate life's transitions. My approach is rooted in presence, compassion, and the belief that embracing ourselves fully expands our capacity to connect with and understand others.

Together, we can explore the narratives that have shaped your journey, honour the thresholds you stand upon, and co-create pathways toward healing and meaning.

It's never too late to untangle the past, meet yourself fully, and create a life that feels authentically yours.
