A 1-Day Women’s Wellness Conference

A Day to Pause, Listen, and Follow
When life gets loud, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s gentle whisper.
This one-day women’s wellness conference is an invitation to slow down and draw near to the Shepherd — to listen, follow, and find rest in the One who calls you by name.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27

Meet The Speakers
-
Julia was born in Germany and first came to the United States as a missionary, serving children in New York City through Metro World Child. Her passion for reaching families continued in Savannah, Georgia, where she worked at The Living Vine, a Christian maternity home, and founded Bona Bella Club, a children’s outreach for low-income families. Over the years, Julia has written children’s ministry curriculum and trained teams to serve in inner-city contexts with creativity, compassion, and consistency.
She later served as a Children’s Pastor and worship leader within the Church of God, carrying a deep heart for wholeness, healing, and revival in families. After marrying and welcoming three children, Julia and her husband now lead a parenting class called Revival Parenting, rooted in their shared desire to see revival begin in the home. Her ministry has also included pre-marital counseling, small groups, and eight years of homeschooling.
Whether leading, mentoring, or serving behind the scenes, her heart remains the same: to help families encounter Jesus in everyday life and see lasting revival take root in the home. Julia is deeply rooted in her love for Jesus and finds joy in the simple rhythms of life—shared meals, good coffee, and worship that centers the heart on Him.

Angie has spent the last 17 years in special education working as a teacher, autism initiative coach, and supervising special education teachers. She joyfully poured God’s love for others into the public education system by advocating for students with disabilities while providing support and encouragement to their families and her staff.
While she loved teaching children with special needs, her own life story was marked by years of dark depression, fear, debilitating rejection, and insecurity. Desperate for freedom from the persistent pain and short-lived solutions, she began her personal journey into healing and wholeness with the safety of a trusted caregiver. Although long and challenging at times, God’s grace poured out through the process and transformed her view of her past, herself, her marriage, her relationships, and ultimately redefined her relationship with Jesus, Papa God and Holy Spirit. From that place of personal healing and transformation, God birthed the ministry of Soul Care Inner Healing in her heart. She had a deep desire to walk beside others to unpack their overwhelming life experiences and position them to receive the restoration and freedom she experienced. She ministered part time for 7 years while working full time in special education.
Answering His call into full time ministry, she resigned from public education in June 2021 to become the Director of Healing Ministries at KLM. Angie provides a safe haven for hurting people to journey into wholeness through one on one Soul Care sessions that facilitate restoration through encounters with Jesus in the places of deep pain. It is her greatest desire to represent the love, safety, compassion and tenderness of Jesus to whomever is sitting across from her. Helping people truly connect with the language of their heart and move out of fear and into Love is her specialty. Believers, non-believers, or those on the fence, her approach to care focuses on the whole person- body, soul and spirit, right where they are.
Angie has been married for 27 years, has 3 grown children; handsome twin boys and a beautiful daughter. She loves to worship, travel, stick her toes in the sand and soak under the hot sun, quality time with her family and friends, opening her home for fellowship and laughter, playing games, and just being silly.

The Path & the Wind: Learning to Listen
This experiential, nature-inspired workshop invites women to slow down and listen for God’s voice in a gentle, embodied way. Using the metaphors of the path and the wind, participants will explore how God often leads—step by step, through subtle movement and invitation rather than force or urgency.
Through guided stillness, intentional movement, time in nature (weather permitting), and praying in color, women will be invited to notice what God is stirring within them without pressure to have answers or make decisions. This workshop creates sacred space to listen, trust, and rest in the presence of the Shepherd who faithfully leads His sheep.
No artistic experience is required. All supplies will be provided.
