Join Jamie for our monthly book club where we'll come together to discuss, share thoughts + revelations, and connect as a community over a new book each month (yes, this is a book club where we'll actually read and discuss the book)!
You’re always welcome to bring a treat to share with the group for this monthly meeting.
Filled with secrets from a therapist's toolkit, this is a must-have handbook for optimising your mental health. Dr Julie's simple but expert advice and powerful coping techniques will help you stay resilient no matter what life throws your way.

Meet Jamie Fine

A transplant from California (most recently), Jamie has been an active yogi for more than a decade–which she credits with helping her get through years of graduate schooling across the U.S. After moving to Austin at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, she’s now had the opportunity to really enjoy settling into and getting to know an amazing community of fellow Austinites. In addition to helping manage Oak + Lotus, Jamie is a certified Yoga Nidra instructor, and is excited and grateful to offer this unique, transformative practice to others, as it has been central to her own yoga journey for years.
Outside of yoga, she is an avid reader, hiker, and spin and yoga enthusiast. She enjoys spending time with her partner, their two cats, and any friends and family she can find. She’s a coffee and queso addict, an animal lover, and a huge fan of big belly laughs. You can catch her around the studio for lunch classes on weekdays, Nidra on Wednesday evenings, and book club every last Sunday . . . but other sightings in the Oak + Lotus wild are also common. Come say hi when you have a minute! :)
