Julia Schneider is the founder and director of NarrativeRx, an international learning community that helps clinicians, patients, and educators deepen their listening through literature, philosophy, and the arts. She earned Columbia University’s Certificate of Professional Achievement in Narrative Medicine (as part of the program’s original online cohort) and holds a master’s in literature from the University of Texas at Austin, after years in a literature PhD program that she left to open her own wellness center. Julia is also a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), with nearly two decades of hands-on work in persistent-pain care and as the founder of RISE Wellness Center in Austin. A writer and poet at heart, she now facilitates narrative-medicine workshops for palliative-care teams, chaplains, physicians, and students, using close reading and reflective writing to help healers listen more deeply, to their patients and to themselves.
