Our Teachers

Julie Campilio

Julie (she/her) is the founder of Roots Up. She has been dedicated to equipping children with tools to self-soothe for over 15 years. She is wildly passionate about using mind-body techniques to advance equitable outcomes for children with learning differences and/or who have experienced trauma through 5-minute videos, classes, and workshops. She weaves play and fun throughout her work and feels that children are the wisest teachers of all!

As a child and teen, she experienced anxiety and depression and learned later in life that ADHD and Autism played a role. She is on a mission to equip children with healthy coping skills that they can carry throughout their lifetime as a preventative tool for mental wellness.

Through Sea Change she has taught at Reiche Elementary, Woodford Family Services, Westbrook Middle School, and Portland Public Schools’ BREATHE program.

Julie is a mama, certified adult & children’s yoga teacher, reiki master, and wife who enjoys being outside in nature, wearing sequin pants to fire pit hangs and all things self-expression.
