Shortly after launching Notable in 2008, Julian experienced severe anxiety for the first time and became determined to naturally deal with it. This led him on an ever expanding journey where he simultaneously managed and grew his former business while exploring empowering natural lifestyle changes like holistic health & wellness, self-care, spirituality, yoga, and positive psychology.
This path to higher consciousness became Julian’s way of living. And it is this very path that has connected all of us here today.
Over the years Julian has gone on to train and collaborate with Yogis from India, Rabbis and Priests in Jerusalem, top Medical Doctors in NYC, and some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. Upon waking up to his mission to help people learn to help themselves own anxiety, he sold Notable to dedicate his life to the movement.
Today he helps people all over the world #OwnAnxiety by guiding them toward empowering, natural tools from his upcoming book combining medical research from the West and holistic philosophies from the East. These tools, which are the foundation of the Own Anxiety method lead to a redefined relationship with anxiety taking it from negative and debilitative to positive and facilitative. As an international keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, coach, teacher, and healer Julian aims to leave every person he connects with ready to not just own anxiety, but to holistically own themselves just a little bit more so that they can truly own their lives.
