Who is ‘mafia’?
Julia or “Mafia”, was born & raised in Melbourne, Australia to a Southern-Italian family. She now finds herself based in Mediterranean Europe, where she is actively pursuing an International DJ career, alongside running her own health and fitness coaching practice.
Her work sits at the intersection of music, movement, and human transformation, with health and healing forming the foundation of her message.
She brings a dual perspective shaped by both worlds: the high-discipline, structured mindset developed in Australia, and the more intuitive, flowing, and holistic Mediterranean approach to life and wellbeing.
