Juliet’s fascination with how the human mind works, combined with her desire to help people, led her to pursue a career in mental health. She completed a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and went on to work as a therapist, educator, and researcher/writer, with a strong focus on family violence.
It wasn’t always easy balancing these three roles, but Juliet enjoyed the variety in her work and how each role complemented the others. She loved her career; however, after 20 years in the mental health field, she was ready for a change.
In 1999, Juliet studied business coaching through several institutions. She also explored online marketing and copywriting, eventually hiring her own marketing coach. Within a few years, she transitioned into a role as a marketing coach and copywriter for therapists and natural health businesses.
Juliet seamlessly wove her skills from her therapy career into her new business: transferring her people skills as a therapist into marketing coaching and consulting, her research skills into becoming an avid student of marketing, her writing skills into website copywriting, and her teaching abilities into developing and delivering workshops, online webinars, and courses. As they say, the rest is history.
