Jülich was born in 1949 and grew up in Grey Lynn. ^[1] She was educated at Auckland Girl's Grammar School. ^[1] Jülich was sexually abused as a child, and her family took the case to court. Despite not receiving the outcome she would have liked from the case, Jülich says she found the process and bringing the abuse into the open empowering. ^[1] Initially Jülich intended to study law at university, but went to Australia for her OE, where she worked as a community worker. She met her husband, a German engineer, and they travelled with their two children. ^[1]

Jülich has been involved in restorative justice processes in New Zealand since the mid-1990s. ^[1] She Jülich completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours at Massey University in 1997, and then a PhD titled Breaking the silence: restorative justice and child sexual abuse also at Massey, supervised by Marilyn Waring and Warwick Tie, in 2001. ^{[2] [3]} Jülich then joined the faculty of the university in 2011, rising to associate professor. ^{[4] [1]} Her research is about how to use restorative approaches to achieve justice for survivors of abuse. ^{[1] [3]}

In 2005 Jülich and Kathryn McPhillips founded Project Restore, which is New Zealand's "national provider of restorative justice for harmful sexual behaviour and sexual violence". ^[5]

In the 2023 King's Birthday and Coronation Honours Jülich was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to restorative justice and survivors of sexual abuse. ^{[6] [7]}
