Long Loose Leash Learning
Confidence-Building for Humans & Other Animals
Hallo!
I’m Julia—a German living in America, a creative-exec-turned-coach, and a happy misfit who’s bringing her love of ideas and creative problem-solving to the world of connection. My mission is to help other beautifully unconventional humans (and their animals) find harmony, calm, and the joy of choosing their own path.
Through relational learning—rooted in kindness, trust, curiosity, and clear communication—I offer gentle, connection-based guidance inspired by how I work with dogs: on a long, loose leash.
That leash is a symbol of safety, trust, freedom, and possibility. There’s no pressure, no rigid path—just space to wander, listen, and grow. The best discoveries often appear when we let things unfold naturally.
Confidence and calm grow when we have choices—and the space to make them.
Whether you’re seeking balance at work, reimagining your career, or creating more ease at home with humans and animals, I’d love to walk beside you as you explore what’s possible—with steadiness, curiosity, and heart.

Long Loose Leash Learning means there’s safety, flexibility, patience, and connection.
I believe the best teachers are lifelong learners. I am always learning—from humans, and from other animals.
Let’s connect and explore what we can learn together.
Kind praise
