Julianne is passionate about what makes us come alive so created Jac’s Wellness Journeys to bring forth the transformational practice of travel fused with intentional programs to help us change, be well and thrive.

Raised on a farm in Glenmaggie, Australia, she grew up riding horses, droving cattle to the high country, shearing sheep, swimming in the creek, painting, roaming in nature and playing many sports. Her Dad called her little Jac, (Juli Anne Cumming) and it stuck.

Her love of learning started with Agricultural Science which led her to travel and farm in Ireland with the International Agricultural Exchange Association. This set the pace for adventure and travel. After backpacking around Europe she returned to the Aussie bush and became a firefighter. Then opportunity called so she moved to a big city job in Sydney as an Exchange Travel Consultant which led to her placement in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

On the way to Calgary she travelled across Canada and met up with a friend she met in Ireland. They had a fling and it lasted 30 years and counting! Married on the family farm in Australia, Julianne then moved to Alberta, Canada where she still farms with her husband and his family.

Still desiring travel, in 1999 Julianne founded a travel business she could run from home and yet get two busy boys to motocross, music, 4H and badminton and even sneak in a few escapes to move her soul! Jac’s Journeys still fills her need for adventures and people by offering personalized service and creating and leading group tours. Her most favourite group was 40 ranchers from the Tahlequah Cherokee Indian Nation, Oklahoma.
