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.
