Meet Julia

CA DRE# 01302741

こんにちは and Hello — I’m Julia Kanesawa, also known as Malibu Julia.

I’m a CPA-turned-luxury NAR member, a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, and someone deeply connected to both the Asia Pacific and the spiritual path.

This channel is about more than real estate — it’s about Bridging Pacific-Asia to Malibu wealth and well-being. Whether you’re a global investor, a spiritually-minded homebuyer, or just curious about life here in Malibu, you’ve found your place.

You see, I’ve moved 47 times in my life. I’ve lived in two countries — Japan and the United States — and called home to cities all across Southern California: from Santa Monica and Brentwood to Thousand Oaks, Newport Beach, and now, Malibu.
