My Story
My name is Julie Paquette, and for over two decades, I’ve walked the path of an educator within the French Catholic school system—an environment rooted in faith, community, and compassion. These years have been more than a profession; they have been a calling, a sacred space where I’ve had the privilege of nurturing young minds and hearts.
Thirteen years ago, meditation entered my life—not as a quick solution, but as a quiet revolution. What began as a personal practice soon became a deep spiritual anchor, reconnecting me with the sacred stillness within. Over time, it evolved into a way of being—a daily reminder that peace isn’t found outside ourselves but awakened from within.
At the center of my world are my two radiant daughters, Addie Skye and Emery Grace. Their names alone speak of light and divine beauty, and they live up to them in every way—vibrant, spirited, deeply connected to joy and wonder. Their passions span the seasons and the senses: from ringette and reading to kayaking under summer skies and dancing in fresh snow. They love to laugh, move, create, and explore. But what moves me most is their intuitive love for nature, crystals, journaling, and our shared meditation practice—a reflection of the sacred energy we cultivate together as a family.
When I paint, I feel the same spirit moving through me—a flow, a presence, a whisper from the divine. Creativity, like meditation, has become a doorway into the deeper layers of self and soul.
From this wellspring of lived experience, Ignite Their Souls was born.
The mission is simple, yet deeply spiritual: to guide children back to themselves. To help them quiet the noise of the world so they can hear the voice within. To teach them not just how to turn off their thoughts, but how to befriend them—learning to lead their inner world with clarity, calm, and confidence.
In a world that moves too fast and asks too much of our children, stillness is a revolutionary act. When a child learns to rest in the present moment, they awaken a truth far greater than any lesson taught—they remember who they really are.
This is my offering, my prayer, and my path: to help children rediscover their light and, in doing so, ignite their souls.
My approach
When embarking on your meditation journey, many a singular goal: to ease stress and quiet the mind. Meditation is not just a practice—it's a transformative experience that nurtures serenity within your mind, body, and spirit. By embracing meditation, you can cultivate, enhance self-awareness, and gain a deeper connection to yourself and the universe. It also encourages compassion and empathy, helping you understand and others in their journeys. As for the ideal time to meditate, while some prefer the tranquility of morning or evening, I believe the best moment is always now. The present is our true sanctuary, and by grounding ourselves in this moment, we open the door to stillness and the profound peace that exists within.
