Julie Blamphin, founder of Stretch Your Spirit, made her debut as a writer with her 4th grade homework assignment: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, where she shared how her grandparents took her to lunch at a saloon called MacGarvey's in Annapolis Maryland. Soon thereafter, she began her life's work as a teacher at 12 years old in her mother’s school of gymnastics in western New York. Currently, she’s inspiring women to feel joyful, stable, and sexy through her Yoga in Real Life membership program, international wellness retreats, and inspirational public speaking. As well as co-authoring We Lead: Building Connection, Community, and Collaboration for Women in Business, Julie's been featured in AARP The Ethel, Livestrong Magazine, The Leading Lady Podcast, Baltimore Banner, The Dr. Kinney Show, and Pelvic Health Support Canada, among others.
