ABOUT JULIA
Hi, I am Julia Erman
I’m an author, speaker, creator, advocate, and rare disorder mom passionate about helping people build more compassionate and inclusive communities through storytelling, education, and faith.
What began as a way to help others better understand my children’s rare medical journey has grown into Julia Erman Creative — a compassion-centered educational and media brand creating books, resources, speaking experiences, and encouragement for families, schools, and communities.
As a mother raising children impacted by profound disabilities and complex medical needs, I understand the beauty, grief, resilience, and faith required to walk difficult seasons well. Through honest storytelling and lived experience, my heart is to help people feel less alone, better understood, and inspired to see others through the lens of compassion.
"Your story has the power to make someone else feel less alone."
I’m also the founder of The Hazelnut Movement, an outreach initiative focused on creating more inclusive classrooms and communities through disability awareness, storytelling, and educational programs.
Through keynote speaking, school programs, books, devotional resources, and online community, my mission is simple:
To help people lead with empathy, embrace differences, and remember that every person has value, purpose, and belonging.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, caregiver, church leader, or organization, I’m so glad you’re here.
Welcome to Julia Erman Creative.
