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.

Those experiences reshaped everything I understood about healing, resilience, love, and the human spirit. They taught me that healing is not linear, that the body carries wisdom, and that we are often far more resilient than we realize.

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

Over the years, I was led into a deeper study 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 broader 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 Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate, focusing on how trauma is held in the body and how healing can happen safely through embodied practice, nervous system support, and compassionate awareness.

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

Through Faithfully Driven, I bring together what I have lived, studied, and practiced. My work blends sacred ceremony, interfaith spirituality, somatic awareness, nervous system wisdom, and emotional healing to support personal transformation, conscious partnership, and embodied spiritual growth.

I offer mentorship, relationship guidance, healing work, and sacred ceremonies for people moving through meaningful thresholds in life and love.

I also have the honor of officiating weddings — standing with couples at the sacred beginning 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, relationship support, 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 this deeply:

We are far more resilient than we realize.
