Julia is a Women’s Health Physiotherapist, Pole Physio, Aquamums Instructor and Pole Divas Instructor. Having always had a passion to support and empower women, she fell in love with the Pole Divas community and their mission to create a happy place for women. Julia started her pole dancing journey at Pole Divas Moonee Ponds in 2013 with a love for dance but no idea how to body roll or lift her own body weight. She quickly became inspired by her fellow students and instructors to try all types of pole dancing classes and fell in love with the physical and mental strength she gained from the sport. As an experienced Physiotherapist, Julia's knowledge of body biomechanics, anatomy and sporting injuries will allow her to help students safely improve strength and pole skills all whilst reducing risk of injury. She looks forward to seeing students love and appreciate their bodies for the amazing things that they can do.

Being a former dancer, she started off as a casual Pole Moves class lover which rekindled her love of dance, then decided to challenge herself with the Beginner courses. She quickly fell in love with the incredible MOPO team,  community, the challenge, the self-expression, the effect dancing and progressing in a new passion had on her physical and mental health and before she knew it, she was knee deep in every class they had to offer.
