She had an extremely successful real estate career, which included positions on the Board of Directors of the 1700 member real estate association in her area. By age 29, Julie was ready to return to something that was more personally meaningful. Her interest in NLP and Hypnosis had continued to flourish while away from psychology on a full-time basis.
