about julia

Julia Storm is a Los Angeles-based Digital Media Wellness Educator, writer, speaker and founder of ReConnect. Julia founded ReConnect with the mission of providing parents a whole child and whole family approach to preparing kids for life in the Digital Age.

Prior to launching ReConnect, Julia served as Director of Production for The Mother Company – a company dedicated to creating media for young children based on social-emotional curricula. During her tenure at The Mother Company, Julia produced award-winning children's media content for Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and PBS in partnership with top child development specialists in the ​country.

Through this work, she saw the role that screens play in the social-emotional wellbeing of children. As a parent of two very screen-enthusiastic, school-aged boys, Julia also felt it firsthand.

In a quest to better understand and educate herself about the way digital technology – specifically mobile devices – were impacting her own children, Julia started her journey to not only help her family reconnect, but to help other children and families be equipped to understand, navigate, and thrive in the digital world.

As a Digital Wellness Educator, Julia is a frequent speaker and teacher at both public and private schools as well as a consultant on Digital Wellness and Media Literacy curriculum.

Julia is a proud speaker for Common Sense Media’s Common Sense Schools and recently joined Sleepy Planet Parenting as a workshop facilitator. She has been featured on the KTLA Morning News, the Los Angeles Times, Parent Magazine, LA Parent, Wired, OnAir and many other media outlets.

Julia received her BA from Princeton University and earned a Masters from UCLA's School of Film, Television, and Digital Media. She also holds a Digital Wellness Educator Certificate from the Digital Wellness Institute and a Para-professional Counseling Certificate from the Southern California Counseling Center. When she’s not working, Julia spends most of her time keeping up with her two very active and digitally-curious sons.
