Hi, I’m Anna Julia — founder of Soulworx and all its extensions+.

My Story…

I didn’t always speak about transitions.

I didn’t know how to name the ache that stirred beneath all the striving, succeeding, leading, and caring.

For the longest time, I believed I had to hold it all together — for my team, my family, my role, my reputation.
I played the game, wore the mask, and performed the part… until life whispered: “Not like this anymore.”

How it all began…

I grew up between worlds — born in Pakistan, rooted in German discipline, schooling in England, and drawn to soulful inquiry. I built a successful career in branding and corporate culture, eventually becoming Partner and CEO of a purpose-driven consultancy. I led global teams. I delivered big results. I ticked all the boxes.

And yet… something in me started to unravel.

It didn’t happen overnight — it came like a quiet crack in time. A slow disorientation. A sense that the life I had built no longer felt like mine.

So at 45, I did something that didn’t make sense on paper.
I walked away.
From the title, the certainty, the structure — all of it.

Not because I had a plan. But because I had a knowing.

What followed wasn’t glamorous. It was real.

I cried. I danced. I got still. I listened.
I walked through forests and sat in circles. I studied with shamans, mystics, and mentors.
I remembered how to breathe again — and how to feel.

I stopped asking, “What should I do?”
And started asking, “Who am I — beyond the roles I’ve been living?”

That was the moment Soulworx was born — not as a business, but as a prayer. A heartfelt offering to bring more meaning and humanity into the world of work. A space where others could begin their own unmasking, awakening, and becoming — especially in the place where we spend so much of our lives.

And now, Soul.Life — the natural evolution of this path. A deeper call. A return to what is essential and true. Because this moment in time asks us to unravel even more. To live with greater presence, to lead with integrity, and to serve life — in all its forms.

For ourselves. For each other. For peace.

This Is My Devotion

I’ve spent the last decade walking this path — not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler.


I’ve held circles for leaders, midlifers, artists, mothers, fathers, founders, change-makers and seekers.

I’ve facilitated retreats, led rituals, provided soul retrievals, coached one-on-one, and guided group journeys.

My work weaves together:

  • Embodied leadership and adult development theory

  • Ancient wisdom and energy work

  • Feminine & masculine integration

  • Shamanic principles and modern psychology

  • Deep inquiry, somatic awareness, and soulful presence

But more than anything — it’s about creating safe, sacred spaces for people to come home to themselves.

I believe midlife is not a breakdown — it’s a breakthrough.
A sacred in-between. A wild, wise invitation to become who we truly are.

We are not here to a harder.

We are here to soften, to integrate, to rise in a different way.

This is the work of our time. For ourselves — and for a world longing for more care, more courage, more connection.

My Commitment to You

I don’t promise easy answers.
But I do promise truth, tenderness, and a deep devotion to walk beside you.

Every space I offer — whether online or in person — is crafted with integrity, presence, and love.

If you’re ready to unmask, to explore, to evolve…
If something inside you is whispering “There’s more to me than this”
Know that you're not alone.

Welcome to Soul.Life.
Let’s walk this next chapter — together.

With love,
Anna Julia
