about rev. Julie Haas

Years ago, my life brought me to a threshold where everything had to change.

I have lived through experiences that required me to rebuild from the inside out — surviving coercive control, navigating profound illness, reclaiming my life after being bedridden from autonomic nervous system failure, and walking my own path of recovery. Today, I live with deep gratitude for more than 16 years of sobriety.

My journey through the depths of struggle and into my own sovereignty is what informs my mission: to help others remember their own capacity to heal, rise, and return to themselves.

Those experiences reshaped everything I understood about healing, resilience, love, and the human spirit.

They led me into a deeper exploration of the body, emotional healing, nervous system repair, and spiritual awareness. I became a Usui Reiki Master and studied multiple lineages of energetic medicine — approaches that honor the body as an intelligent system capable of restoring balance, vitality, and connection.

At the same time, I felt called to explore spirituality in a deeper and more expansive way. I spent two years in New York City at One Spirit Seminary, studying world religions, contemplative traditions, sacred ceremony, and diverse spiritual paths that support meaning, purpose, and inner wisdom. This path led me to become an ordained interfaith minister.

To deepen my trauma-informed work, I completed a certification in Somatic Trauma Therapy through The Embody Lab, focusing on how trauma is held in the body — and how healing can happen safely through embodied practice, nervous system support, and compassionate awareness.

Today, my work brings together everything I have lived, studied, and practiced.

For more than 16 years, I have also had the privilege of supporting women in the field of addiction and recovery — walking beside those who are learning to reclaim their lives, their voices, and their sense of self.

Through Faithfully Driven, I offer mentorship, relationship guidance, healing work, and sacred ceremonies that support personal transformation, conscious partnership, and embodied spiritual growth.

I also have the honor of officiating weddings — standing with couples at the sacred threshold of a new life together. Because the beginning of a marriage is not simply a celebration. It is the energetic, emotional, and spiritual foundation of a shared future.

Whether through mentorship, healing work, or ceremony, my work is rooted in one intention:

to help people reconnect with their strength, their awareness, their inner wisdom, and their capacity to move forward with clarity, devotion, and intention.

Because no matter how difficult the journey has been, I believe something deeply, we are far more resilient than we realize.
