After living in the Volga region of Russia in the late 90′s as a missionary, Julie Behling lost her health and was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia.  She struggled with severe, debilitating fatigue for six years in her 20′s, and had the stamina of a sick 80-year-old  during that time.  She experienced her own personal crash-course on sickness and healing during those six years.

She was blessed to recover her health in September of 2005 through faith and holistic means.  She got 95% of her health back in one week with a nutrient infusion called NingXia Red, and got off of sleeping medications she had been on for 5 years using essential oils from Young Living.

She began teaching classes on the power of essential oils in 2006, and started a reflexology and holistic healing practice in July of 2007 where she has educated her clients on how to use the oils.  She has immensely enjoyed helping her clients to have better health and balance in their lives, as well as save money on their doctor’s expenses by knowing how to take care of many health concerns themselves.

Julie has a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences (with an emphasis on botany) and Master’s degrees in Russian Language & Literature and Russian & East European Studies from Florida State University, which she attended during her years of illness.

She had a political awakening in 2007 when she began to observe trends taking place in America that she had studied in depth while immersed in Soviet history.  Exposure to the alternative media, including some of the movies from Infowars.com, helped to solidify her concerns over the fate of America.  She began to seek out information on preparedness and survival, and started taking actions to prepare herself for whatever might be coming.

Julie founded Essential Survival in 2010 with the goal of helping as many people as possible be equipped to take care of their health both on a daily basis, as well as in times of chaos when drugs and Western medicine might not be as readily available.  Essential Survival combines the effectiveness and purity of essential oils from Young Living with Julie’s passion for and extensive knowledge on both natural healing and disaster preparedness.

Julie is serious about helping you be empowered and prepared, no matter the political or economic climate!
