Meet Julia Erman

Hi, I’m Julia Erman.

I’m an author, speaker, rare disorder mom, and founder of The Hazelnut Movement.

What began as a way to help others better understand my children’s medical journey has grown into a compassion-centered educational brand focused on storytelling, inclusion, and meaningful connection.

Through books, speaking engagements, and educational resources, I hope to help families, schools, and communities create spaces where every child feels like they belong.

“Julia’s message was such a blessing. Her story touched so many people and left a lasting impact on our conference. We’re so thankful she was part of the event.”
