Julie Beckwith is the visionary founder of LivingOnThePatio, a lifestyle brand dedicated to enhancing outdoor living experiences.
After a career in product management for the fifth largest national bank and owner of a successful marketing agency, Julie and her husband Randy started livingonthepatio.com based on their experience during the pandemic to create an outdoor living space and then sought to assist like-minded homeowners by providing information, advice, and resource.
Interestingly it was after Julie suffered a MINOCA – myocardial infarction with nonobstrutive coronary arteries – in 2023 that this became a mission. As she learned that MINOCAs, as well as certain cancers, IBS, even allergies can be the result of the toll that chronic stress takes on our bodies, she looked for ways to go beyond the healthy eating, exercising, and medical care normally provided and found that outdoor living spaces can be an integral part of our healing.
With a passion for blending nature with wellness, Julie educates homeowners on the transformative power of outdoor spaces. Drawing from experience, she offers practical insights into creating outdoor sanctuaries that boost mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Julie is an inspiring speaker, captivating audiences with her knowledge on the health benefits of outdoor living. She offers actionable tips to help individuals design, budget for, and maximize their outdoor spaces. Julie’s approachable and engaging style makes her a sought-after speaker for events, conferences, and workshops focused on home improvement, wellness, and lifestyle enhancement.
