Hi! I’m Julia.
OFFICIALLY I AM A CERTIFIED HEALTH AND WELLNESS COACH AND SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIOR CHANGE EXPERT.
UNOFFICIALLY, I AM AN F-BOMB DROPPER, WELLNESS WARRIOR, AND FIRM BELIEVER THAT THE WORLD NEEDS MORE WOMEN SHOWING UP AS THEIR HAPPIEST, HEALTHIEST SELVES.
I help women who are tired of feeling stressed the f*ck out, unmotivated, unconfident, depressed, and anxious take control of their mental health. I teach them how to finally eat better, move more, and think differently so they feel good physically AND mentally.
I’m talking about the women constantly feeling like they need to get back on track. The ones repeatedly telling their friends that once they find the right routine and finally start eating better or exercising more they’ll feel happier.
The women who can’t seem to shake the anxiousness and stress, no matter how much they rationalize their feelings.
The women who are so exhausted from their thoughts and emotions that sticking to anything long term and keeping up with work and life responsibilities feels like a losing battle.
The women tired of feeling stuck, unmotivated and in a funk.
Sound familiar?
I get it, because I used to feel that way, a lot.
I used to feel helpless.
I spent way too many years swinging through bouts of anxiety and depression, never knowing when it was going to hit and how long it was going to stay.
My productivity tanked, and most nights I would cancel plans with friends to binge watch Netflix and eat Oreos instead. I felt insecure in my body and would furiously try on everything in my closet before settling on sweatpants.
The work I used to love felt stressful and overwhelming and nothing seemed fun anymore.
I felt stuck, until I learned to change my habits and take control of my mental health.
And if you’re anything like I was you’re tired of feeling depressed, unmotivated, anxious, unconfident, and just meh about life. You want to go to sleep at night feeling accomplished and thriving.
You don’t want to sit up late thinking about how unproductive you were, the workout you skipped, the plans you cancelled, and the people you snapped at.
You’re done with the cycle of:
- Try a cleanse, pill, shopping spree, or workout program to fix everything
- Stop after approximately 11.4 days
- Binge on Netflix + Halo ice cream and wonder why you’re such a failure
- Repeat.
You just want to feel calm, confident, and carefree. You’re ready to make this healthy, happy thing a forever kind of lifestyle.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret, and it’s a goodie:
There is not a damn thing about you that needs fixing. You are not broken.
You are enough exactly the way you are. It’s time you start treating yourself that way.
MY APPROACH
INSTEAD OF WORKING TO FIX THE “BROKEN” PART OF US, I BELIEVE IN BUILDING UP THE AWESOME - exploring the strengths and qualities that make YOU so incredible and using them to create lasting habits that leave you feeling good physically and mentally.
Real health and happiness doesn’t include depriving diets or punishing yourself with exercise. It’s a radical act of self-love. And when you love on your body with nourishing foods, joyful movement, and gentle mindset shifts, you start to feel happy, really happy.
And did I mention it’s backed by science?
Everything from the habits I’m helping my clients to develop to how we’re making them last is evidence-based. This means you’re making changes that are totally sustainable and they actually help manage your mood and mental health.
SO HEALTHY + HAPPY BECOMES A LIFESTYLE, NOT A FAD.
I’m on a mission to empower 1000 driven women by 2020 to step into their most vibrantly healthy lives (physically AND emotionally) so they can fully show up as the badass women they are and change the world.
No fat wraps. No lofty dreams with zero follow through. No feeling deprived, stuck, or like a failure.
Just an adventure in straight up love, joy, and freedom.
Are you ready?
