Holding Women Through Life’s Thresholds – with Julie Bickerton
In this episode, I chat with the brilliant Julie Bickerton, a bodyworker, yoga teacher, and women's wellbeing guide who supports women through some of the most powerful transitions of life from pregnancy and birth to postnatal recovery and beyond.
We explore Julie’s journey from massage into yoga and her deeply rooted practice of "Closing the Bones," a Mexican tradition that honours the postpartum body. We talk about the shifts in how women are supported (or not supported) during birth in modern medical systems and how the core need for connection, presence, and nurturing has never changed, despite all the new apps and clinical protocols.
Julie also opens up about her own transition into menopause, how she's navigating this threshold, and the new direction life is taking her. It's a warm, honest, and sometimes funny conversation about the timeless wisdom of the body, the healing power of touch, and the need for women to feel held at every stage.
