NarrativeRx

My work sits at the intersection of literature and medicine, using the arts and humanities to deepen reflective practice and relational care.

I hold a Master’s in Literature from the University of Texas at Austin and am a graduate of Columbia University’s Narrative Medicine CPA program. I’m the founder-director of NarrativeRx, a medical humanities initiative that fosters connection and reflection among healthcare providers, patients, educators, and advocates.

As a writer, I work primarily in poetry, creative nonfiction, and lyric memoir. Much of my writing appears under the pen name Jules Foshee and explores motherhood, ecology, southern folklore, and the coastal Deep South of my childhood. My poetry and prose appear in SmokeLong Quarterly, Cimarron Review, River Heron, Literary Mama, MER, and elsewhere. I was shortlisted for the Masters Review Best Emerging Writer Prize, and my collection Oranges in the Night of Plenty is currently a finalist for the Moon City Poetry Award.

As a practitioner and educator, I bring over twenty years of experience in massage and yoga therapy, specializing in persistent pain. I teach continuing education classes in Yoga Bodywork and Pain Management Massage, and I offer Narrative Medicine workshops, courses, retreats, and talks for interdisciplinary audiences worldwide.

I’m based in Austin, Texas. If you’re interested in bringing this work to your institution or community, I’d love to be in touch: [email protected].
