She has maintained a private practice for over twenty years and presents workshops nationally and internationally at holistic retreat centers, yoga studios, Neo-Pagan and New Age events and training institutes.

Her shamanic spiritual training led to ordination in 1985 through the Church of All Worlds, where she was a High Priestess for ten years.

She is a past president of the Church of All Worlds (1986–1993), a founder of Lifeways, a school for the study of the healing and magical arts (1983), and a founding member of Forever Forests.

She is on the faculty of Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and she is the founder and director of Sacred Centers, a teaching organization focusing on Chakra studies.

She has a son named Alex, and one of her brothers is actor and singer-songwriter Martin Mull.

Judith's academic background includes a master's degree in clinical psychology from Rosebridge Graduate School of Integrative Therapy and a doctorate in Health and Human Services (focused on mind-body health) from Columbia Pacific University (an unaccredited, though state-certified, nontraditional distance learning school in California).

Judith's studies in healing have included bioenergetics, psychology, psychotherapy, mythology, sociology, history, systems theory, and mystic spirituality.

She is also an authority on chakras and yoga and somatic therapy.

Judith's book Waking the Global Heart: Humanity's Rite of Passage from the Love of Power to the Power of Love was the winner of the 2007 Nautilus Book Award Best Book of the year for Social Change and of the 2007 Independent Publisher Award Silver Medal for Mind/ Body Spirit.
