Previous experience

Background: A dyslexic who left school at 14, Julia was the mother of three young children by 16, and divorced from her first husband at 20, but this straight talking, glamorous and inspirational woman has never allowed anything to hold her back.

PI: The end of her second marriage in the early ’90’s saw Julia begin a new life in Europe, working for famous Egyptian tycoon, Mohammed Al Fayed at Harrods of London, who put her on the path to becoming a private investigator.

Returning home, Julia became the first woman to own a private investigation company in New Zealand. In an industry dominated by male ex-police, Julia’s arrival on the scene was controversial, but this savvy businesswoman saw an opportunity – turning herself into the face of her company and in the process, transforming an entire industry.

International Author: Julia has authored three books which have been published internationally by HarperCollins and Penguin Books. and translated into 16 languages.

Radio Host & Media Commentator: Julia is recognised internationally as an expert on relationships, infidelity and human nature. Her opinion has been sought by global media including the UK’s BBC, Good Morning America, The View, the Daily Mail and Huffington Post.

Inspirational Speaker: Julia is glamorous, confident and outspoken, with a huge repertoire of revealing and often hilarious anecdotes.

Inspirational Speaker: Her wealth of personal and professional experiences have given her tremendous self-confidence and an ability to project her personality, whether it is in front of the camera or in the role of inspirational and motivational speaker.

The intrigue factor is a major drawcard when Julia is engaged to speak, however her business message is also a strong motivator.
