My favorite training yet – this is my 3rd one with Juli.
I loved the information, but more so the understanding of myself, foster
children and foster parents. It encouraged me to continue in this journey
– because it’s all about the children. Thanks for the vision and for
Juli’s talent.
The process of integrating emotionally regulated healing
personally and professionally has impacted me profoundly. The connection
between the development of true, pure empathy and permanency in children’s lives
is a paradigm that cannot be under evaluated or underestimated in child welfare.
Great training!
I learned something new each time Juli presents.
This was much needed and I look forward to the implementation.
This was a wonderful experience
Excellent – it pushed me and I am so grateful
Excellent Job! Perhaps could easily have gone another
day. More time to process needed! Thank you for assisting with my
legacy.
Outstanding experience and materials
Hi! Hopefully I can keep this short for you. Yesterday we
had the IEP for our 8 year old. Wow! Just so you know it wasn't just my
personal prejudices the school graphed his behavioral development over the last
two months which had all of those administrators positively giddy. Not only
with the monumental changes, but the magnitude of what this means for our little
guys future. He had only been in specialized classes since the first full week
of February. I have requested that we try to graph the reports of February and
March so that a "real" picture can be given for where we have come from for
everyone, this just makes Emotional Regulatory Parenting so tangible no one can
possibly argue.
Trionne, Treatment Foster Parent
Your talk was to me like rain after a drought. I have been
revived. Thank you for being "real", for being love and for being brave.
Risha McLellan, Outreach Director, Right Relations, Inc.
Juli was the most interesting and most fabulous speaker I
have ever heard - I've been to a lot of seminars in the last year and she was by
far the most inspiring.

Ms. Alvarado's imprint on my life may not be visibly
apparent; however, the impact is significant. Her uncanny ability to see what
the true issue is, regardless of the camouflage of how it is presented, is what
makes her powerful. She exudes a wisdom that only comes with experience and
awareness over time. She brings all of herself, her energy and passion, to every
encounter in a very calm, genuine, and gentle manner. Her humor is ever-present.
She paved the way for me to look at areas where I needed to be challenged,
encouraged, and led forward. This process enabled me to address the fears and
concerns in my personal and professional life and for that I will be forever
grateful.

"Thank you, Juli, for giving your time to us on Saturday.
When I came home, I told my wife, “If this wasn’t the best training I have
experienced in 17 years of foster-parenting, it certainly would rank in the Top
Three!” It was so helpful to me and I came home so hungry for more, that I
immediately went to Amazon.com and ordered the books by Baker, Perry, and Siegal
that you recommended. I can hardly wait for them to get here! My wife was
home caring for our three handicapped children (two adopted and one foster) on
Saturday and accordingly was not able to attend with me. I would like very
much to get the Audio CD so she can experience this as well. Please let me
know how to place my order."

“This is the most effective training I have ever
attended…..I get it, finally I get it and I can’t wait to go home and DO it!”
Jan, Indianapolis
“My wife and I attended a lecture with Juli Alvarado in 1999
and then again in 2003. This year we took it to the next level and have
hired her as our Life Coach. Not only are we parenting the way we dreamt
of at the adoption of our children, but more we are living the life that we have
dreamt of since our marriage. Her compassion added to her life experiences
and expertise make for a powerful coaching call, month after month!
Ed, California
“For the one of the first times in my life, I know that I am
not alone. She is a phone call away”
Cathy, Colorado
“I joined Juli’s consultation group in the Denver area two
years ago. My practice is full, my relationships with clients are
emotionally charged and connected, and my life is in balance. Every
therapist needs a Juli.”
Diane, Colorado
I first met Juli through two lectures of hers that I
attended, in CA and then in CO. She stated that if we had questions we
could email and she would respond. Yea right….But did she respond!
She responded every time and is now my life and business coach. Now I get
her every week, just for me for a full hour. Her integrity is what got me
hooked and keeps me hooked.
Bryan, Colorado
Secondary trauma is a concept we all learn about, but few of
us doing anything about. Juli’s support for me and my work has helped me
not only gain new clients and a successful business, but I am more in balance
and complete, in and out of my office.”
Gina, WI
I really didn’t believe that a phone call could provide what
my husband and I needed, but after just the first coaching call, we got to work.
Juli helps us stay focused on our life goals; really work to agree on priorities
for our family; and she checks up on us-which keeps us on track. I think I
know someone now who doesn’t just say she cares, she really does.
Flo, Florida
Powerful coaching, powerful support, powerful insight and
powerful compassion!
