Julie Beckwith is the heart and vision behind LivingOnThePatio, a lifestyle brand born from her own journey of transforming stress into sanctuary.

After years in high-pressure roles, Julie and her husband Randy began a personal project of creating an outdoor living space during the pandemic, which quickly grew to help others reimagine their own patios and yards.

That passion deepened in 2023, when Julie survived a MINOCA (myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries) — a life-changing event that revealed the very real impact of chronic stress on the body. As she learned more about how stress contributes to conditions ranging from heart issues to IBS, allergies, and even cancer, Julie recognized a need for solutions that go beyond diet and exercise. For her, nature — and specifically outdoor living spaces — became an essential part of healing and long-term well-being.

Today, Julie brings this personal mission to life by educating homeowners and employers on the powerful connection between outdoor spaces and wellness. She shares practical, down-to-earth advice for designing and budgeting outdoor sanctuaries that improve mental, emotional, and physical health. 

As a speaker, Julie combines warmth, authenticity, and deep knowledge to captivate audiences. Whether addressing homeowners, corporate teams, or conference attendees, she inspires people to see their outdoor spaces not just as extensions of their homes or workplaces, but as gateways to healthier, more balanced living.
