My name is Julie Ward

My journey with storytelling began in newsrooms and television studios, where I learned the art of drawing out compelling narratives from people from all walks of life. Whether interviewing performers, athletes, or everyday individuals, I discovered that everyone has a story that deserves to be told - they just might need help finding their voice.

After years of helping others share their stories professionally, I've developed a deep appreciation for the power of personal narrative. I understand that while not everyone has "a book in them," everyone has chapters of their life that are worth preserving, whether for self-reflection, family history, or future generations.

In our increasingly digital world, I appreciate both the efficiency of technology and the importance of tactile connections to our past. As someone who cherishes family artifacts - from my mother's paintings to precious tea sets - I understand how objects can anchor our memories and carry our stories forward. I call myself a family historian rather than a hoarder, because I believe in the importance of not just preserving items, but capturing the stories that give them meaning.

Today, I offer personalized storytelling services that blend traditional and modern approaches. Whether through one-on-one sessions, six-week courses, or specialized memory preservation programs, I help clients document their stories in ways that suit them best - from audio recordings to written narratives. With my background in media and technology, I can transform these sessions into meaningful keepsakes within 48 hours.

My passion lies in helping people recognize the value of their own stories and in creating lasting records that can be treasured for generations to come. Having witnessed my own mother's journey with dementia, I understand firsthand the importance of capturing voices, memories, and stories while we can.
