"I have had the pleasure of working with Julie since August of 2021, and I am thrilled to share my experience. From the very first consultation, when I was creeping up on 300 pounds, she shared her exceptional knowledge and had a genuine passion for helping me achieve my health goals. She takes the time to understand my lifestyle, and food preferences, and has crafted a personalized nutrition plan that is practical, effective, and works for me. Julie's guidance and support is invaluable, and during my weakest moments, she is always there to help me stay on track and motivated with our check-ins every other week.
Thanks to Julie's expertise, I have seen significant improvements in my energy levels, fat loss, muscle gain, body composition, and overall well-being. Her approach is not just about diet but fostering a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that I can maintain long-term. It takes time, consistency, and patience, but I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their health through nutrition. Her dedication and personalized approach make all the difference. She’s a rockstar and I want to keep her in my back pocket forever!!

"I first met Julie in August 2021. I was a 32 year old with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and carrying over 50 lbs. of excess weight. My doctors were on the verge of putting me on meds to help with my blood pressure and cholesterol and insisted that I lose weight. What they didn't know was that I had been trying. I was running on a treadmill 3-5 days a week, trying to eat healthy by cutting carbs and sugars from my diet, and I even took a blood test to see which foods I was sensitive to because everything I was doing just resulted in more weight gain. I finally threw in the towel and decided to find someone who could help me. I needed guidance from someone who could steer me towards genuine and sustainable health.
​
When I met Julie, I instantly connected with her! She didn't just give me a rundown of her nutrition background - she shared her journey and the profound commitment she had made to help others like me. It was clear that this was not just a job for her - it was her passion! I knew right then that she was willing to invest in me for the long haul, but only if I was ready to put in the effort - and I was more than ready!

"I have NEVER been skinny, and for the most part, was okay with what I was. However, my 50s have brought a few challenges and events that have been a wake-up call regarding my health and quality of life. I felt like I had a window of opportunity that was closing quickly to get healthier. I was tired of trying all the diets and rationalizing the comfort that I thought I got from poor food choices and inactivity. I was tired of getting to the top of the stairs breathing heavily. I had to introduce medications into my life to regulate blood pressure, hypothyroidism, and anxiety. The medications, although necessary, created other symptoms and issues that I now have to find a way to deal with. Looking back, I realized the power food had over me and still does at times. I needed to put food in the right place in my life. This is where Julie comes in. I met Julie and asked her to coach me on my health journey. She honestly told me that it is HARD and that there is no way around doing the work. When we eat the right things, our bodies can heal themselves in miraculous ways, so it was worth it.

I was not sure what to expect, but Julie made things so easy for me. She did not throw everything at me at once. She knows her nutrition, and she knows how the body uses food. I am not eating crazy things nor starving myself, and rarely feel hungry when I follow her plan. I am only at the beginning of my journey, but I have already faced up to some of the things that were holding me back and I am learning how to change my course. I am learning how to change my mind...changes to my body will follow. Success for me, is that I will be able to do all of this on my own at some point and create a lifestyle of healthy choices and balance. This is the way Julie runs her program."
