For her insights on social prescribing and connection, Julia has delivered keynotes, lectures, and workshops to thousands of audience members across health systems, universities, cities, and cultural institutions — including Harvard, Yale, AHIP, TEDx, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, the City of Seattle, the Toronto Public Library, and more.

Public talks cover how social prescribing — referrals to non-medical, community-based activities — is transforming health and health care in 30+ countries. Topics include the science behind movement, nature, art, service, and belonging as medicine, patient success stories, emerging evidence and insurance buy-in, and interactive exercises inviting audiences to create their own social prescriptions.

Workshops and staff trainings cover how other places have implemented social prescribing programs — spotlighting examples in health systems, nonprofits, libraries, and more. Exercises include creating asset-maps, defining outreach and referral functions, brainstorming funding pathways through philanthropy and insurance, and conceptualizing a pilot.
