Jules went on to study at Colorado State University, where she pledged Kappa Delta, and was inducted into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi in 1985.
Jules moved to Minneapolis around 1986, and worked at First Avenue and The Depot, where she was exposed to a vast array of cutting edge contemporary music. These first club jobs cemented a life-long passion for music and production.
At First Avenue, she was introduced to Prince, Joe Cocker, Frank Zappa, GWAR, Metallica, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The Replacements, Tina Turner, Wynton Marsalis, U2, Tracy Chapman, Ray Charles, Sonic Youth, Soul Asylum, and countless other brilliant national and international music acts.
In 1992, Jules relocated to San Francisco, and later graduated from New College with a bachelor’s degree of Arts in Humanities in 1996.
She continued to immerse her life in the world of music, bartending, and catering, working first with Club Deco, the Trocadero Transfer, and later with Bill Graham Presents. Work with BGP opened up many incredible venue opportunities, such as the Warfield Theater, The Fillmore, and The Shoreline Amphitheater, to name a few. Jules personally worked with The Rolling Stones and David Byrne of the Talking Heads.
Jules enjoyed working for the High Sierra Music Festival, and with the Health and Harmony Festival, where she produced a stage for Motema Music. She later worked with the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts.
Jules studied with Dick Sutphin, and received a degree in Hypnotherapy from Sutphin Seminars. She then earned a Certificate for Sound, Voice, and Music Healing from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2010.
Jules founded Primal Peace Productions, and was a groundbreaking pioneer in the field of Sound Healing.
Jules assisted Jamie Goodman, LAC, in her acupuncture practice, first at the Mindful Body, SF, and later in private practice.

She also worked with Christine Ness-Hawks LAc, Dipl OM,MSTCM, at Thrive Acupuncture in Santa Rosa.
Jules used her knowledge of acupuncture and acupressure points with precisely placed acutonics tuning forks in a method she personally developed. This, in combination with crystal singing bowls, spoken mantras, ceremonial gongs, and bells created a truly unique Sound Healing experience.
Jules was a talented healer, a generous,loving, compassionate friend, and a light to all who were lucky enough to have been in her life.
She is survived by her beloved husband Darrell Lasky, brother Greg, her nieces Jennifer, Jessica, and Reagan, nephews Reilly, Riordan, and Reece, and sister-in-law Cynthia Cruz.
