Julia Christian Smith

Julia Christian Smith is an actor, writer, producer and voice artist based in Los Angeles. She was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and holds a BFA in Acting from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where she graduated summa cum laude. Her coursework there included Yoga/Mindfulness.

Alongside her work on screen and behind the microphone, Julia is a meditation instructor. Her guided meditations offer a warm, comforting space to find stillness and grounding amid busy lives, and to listen to what she calls the still, small voice within. She was introduced to MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction) in a yoga and mindfulness class during college and has been an active student and teacher of the practice ever since. Her teaching has grown to include Tonglen, Loving-Kindness and Mantra, and draws on her experience and education in MBSR and inner child work.

Julia describes her creative work as sitting at the intersection of intimacy and imagination, with humor, quiet humanity and emotional truth. She writes and produces original screenplays and short films, and she brings warmth, clarity and character to commercial and narrative voice work. She is also a certified personal trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and she loves cooking, traveling, camping and strength training.
