What WILD Women Say about their experience
Scroll down to read some testimonials from the Women who have stepped up to be part of the WILD Project.
I am also sharing below one piece of feedback that is as beautifully written as it gets...
A powerful and moving poem by Caroline Wilkes about her experience.
AVALON BIRTH
Amidst the apples, trees and fruit,
With rain lay silent on the ground,
With priestess I walked to the orchard
And there a sacred spot we found
With gentleness she held my heart,
With courage I stood breasted bare.
With sisterhood we captured all,
My Rúna soul, my wild hair.
The years of cruelty laid on me,
The years of hurt and shame,
Released, released into the air,
Released into a burning flame
Of strength. And there I merged with life,
There defiance burned in me.
I knelt upon the sodden grass
And shared my vulnerability.
With spear and with shield in hand,
I took on power of the earth.
There I claimed my right to beauty,
There I felt my Avalon birth.
Just come close to me and say
My body I should change.
I will crush your insane judgements
And leave you on the firing range.
I will not subside to you,
I will stand a warrior strong.
I will stare into your eyes
And show you that you're wrong.
In Glastonbury I found the truth,
On Freya's day I rose to see.
With apples in the orchard old,
And a sacred priestess next to me.
"Working with Julie was so much fun, she is such a gorgeous soul, so professional, and supportive. Her creative and spiritual energy puts you at ease and really allows you to just be you!
I love the photos and a couple of them are my FAV PICS OF ME EVER. She captured my true essence and when I feel a bit low, I look at these images and think... I rock :D
SO THANK YOU <3"
Laura
"Julie is amazing!! Her work speaks for itself but from a client perspective she is a joy - she put me straight at ease and I had such a fab time at my photo shoot! Julie knows just how to capture the right angle/moment for amazing images, and I'm delighted with my pictures. Highly recommend this as a treat for yourself... or a really lovely pressie to give someone a session"
Lara
"I really recommend working with Julie. Its so freeing to be photographed by a woman.... it is a reclaiming of our sensual and sexual body."
Sue
"I enjoyed every moment. On the day of the photoshoot I felt absolutely no fear or anxiety, just excitement. Meeting Julie was an enormous pleasure. She is so easy to be with, so warm, sympathetic, patient and beautiful that I had no hangups or hesitation at all.
I would recommend it to any woman. It is an incredibly liberating experience. I've had low self esteem and appearance issues most of my life, but this has finally conquered all the negative thoughts. We haven't time to worry about what our bodies look like, beyond being clean and healthy. We cannot do more than that. Our partners will love us for who we are and see our beauty if they genuinely love us. Thank you so very much, Julie and The Wild Project."
Janine
"I had a wonderful session with Julie. She put me totally at my ease and then produced the most stunning photos of me. Thank you Julie"
Elayne
"I still can't believe how Julie was able to capture the woman who lives inside me but doesn't always make it to the surface. I will be letting her out a lot more in the future."
Jo
"I had the most wonderful time with Julie, barefoot in the squelching mud, playing in an orchard.
There was a time where I wouldn't have shared these pictures of me at all. But right now I want to post all of them on my page.
I have spent a long time learning to love me. I had got the spiritual me loved up and cared for and some of the physical me, but there was a sticking point. I still had some negative talk, some envy and comparisons.
"I spent all that time in that orchard half naked and loving it. I felt safe, natural, normal and wild.
and I look at these and the other pictures and think 'My god woman, you're absolutely stunning. Every single little inch'
So, thank you to Julie, who showed me the truth. and a great big middle finger up to a society who shames women (and men) for not looking the way or aspiring to be the way society deems acceptable and to all the bastard companies who shame you into buying their products.
Everyone should be photographed by Julie x "
