Networking & Fundraising Strategist
Julie Trieb
As the highly creative entrepreneur behind a globally recognized machine embroidery brand, I thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Yet, amidst the demands of my business and family, my spiritual journey remains a profound and essential aspect of my life—one profoundly shaped by Chandra and her extraordinary wisdom.
For the past four years, Chandra has been my trusted teacher, providing intuitive, heart-centered guidance through some of my life’s greatest challenges. Her transformative presence has helped me stay grounded and connected to the earth, even amid the whirlwind of entrepreneurship.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I am a mother of three and a grandmother of three, deeply appreciating the power of holistic learning. My experience homeschooling my children and witnessing my grandchildren thrive in an outdoor nature-based school has instilled in me a strong value for environments that nurture the soul and foster growth.
Personal development is a cornerstone of my journey; I have engaged in high-caliber masterminds like Tony Robbins’ Platinum Partnership and Genius Network, as well as immersive, earth-based embodiment retreats. Through my experiences at renowned retreat centers, I believe wholeheartedly in the integrity and quality of what Sonco Via offers and will continue to expand.
Our world urgently needs true sanctuaries—places that honor the soul, body, and earth. I am honored to support Sonco Via’s mission as it serves as one of those rare havens.
