Inspiring Change
Real Nutrition Coaching and Fitness Programs
Hi! I’m Julie, a Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach
and a Personal Trainer.
I went to college in upstate New York, where I received my BS in marketing, and since I wasn’t yet ready for the business world, I set out West for the mountains. After a lot of travel and seasonal work, my heart brought me to Vancouver, where I enrolled in the Canadian School for Natural Nutrition. I graduated in 2018 as a Registered Holistic Nutrition Coach.
From Finish Lines to Mountain Paths
I have been an athlete my whole life, and in the last decade I have fallen in love with trail running and hiking. A long day on the trail is my favorite way to spend time. I work with a lot of endurance athletes but love working with clients in all stages of life and who have different goals.
Stop Dieting, Start Living
I grew up eating a lot of refined carbohydrates and followed every health trend up until a few years ago. Low-fat, low-calorie, low-sugar, keto, IF, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, etc. It wasn’t until I got rid of all the rules and diets that I started to feel and perform better. I’m extremely passionate about helping clients discover what foods work best for them. Essentially, my job is to get you from where you are now to where you want to be through empowered choices and habit-forming techniques. My approach is personalized, doable, and, most importantly, lasting. Health for the long term. No fad diets.
Discover Your Sustainable Path
Everyone is different, and I’m excited to help you find the nutritional foundation for not only your sport but also for life’s biggest and smallest events. Whether you are suffering from a specific set of symptoms or are feeling good but looking to level up your health, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help uncover any blockages. Let’s team up and get you feeling better!
My Practice
I am not the Food Police. I will not judge you, EVER. My motto is that if it looks good, and I’m hungry, I’ll eat it. No food rules, no restrictions, just a healthy amount of awareness.
Sustainable Health Starts Small
I believe in changing one habit at a time. I will not give you more than you are ready for. I find it is the small things that add up to make the biggest impact.
Personalized Health & Nutrition Coaching Program
Weight Loss Clients
In my 3-month coaching program, the first month is about improving your diet and setting a solid foundation of healthy habits. The second month, I’ll begin to track food (not mandatory!) to gather objective data. The third month is about bringing it all together and making sure you’re on the path to fat loss while your diet and lifestyle are sustainable. For all clients with fat loss goals, my intention is to help you eat and move in a way that maintains/improves muscle mass while slowly losing fat. From my perspective, HEALTH is way more important than the number on the scale, so I’ll always be guiding you towards health first and foremost.
Perimenopause Clients
In my 3-month coaching program, the first month is about addressing all the pillars of health: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress AND answering all your questions within the realm of “What the heck is going on? What the heck do I eat? What exercise is best? Because what I’ve BEEN doing isn’t working anymore!” In the second month, I’ll get more specific about what your goals are—usually fat loss, symptom management, and/or muscle gain. In the third month, I’ll tie it all together and shine the light on what area needs the most focus. And I’ll end with the reminder that your hormones aren’t out to get you! There ARE things you can do; this is a time to adapt WITH your hormones, not argue with them.
Running and Strength Nutrition
In my 3-month coaching program, the first month is getting dialed in on what your exercise routine is, addressing the 4 pillars of health (diet, sleep, exercise, and stress), and making modifications to the area that needs the most focus. The second month, I’ll begin to work on the timing of food, long-run/ride fueling, and getting specific with what to eat before and after your hard efforts. In the third month, I’ll take all that you learned and apply it week after week and change things up as necessary.
For All Clients
My sessions focus on taking the time to truly listen to your body and understand what it’s trying to communicate. I believe symptoms are not a bad thing—they’re valuable signals that your body is functioning well enough to let you know something needs attention.
By identifying health concerns early and addressing them through natural, supportive steps, I help you work with your body the way it was designed to heal. This approach allows you to restore balance, improve performance, and build long-term resilience rather than simply masking symptoms.
Reclaiming Your Health
Along with diet modifications, I am an advocate for time spent in nature, proper sleep hygiene, breath work, short but effective exercises throughout the day, and supplementing when necessary. Getting back to the basics by removing clutter and simplifying our lives can have a significant physiological effect on our hormonal imbalances and overall health.
Education is powerful, but in the end the choice to take action is entirely yours to make. Health is the greatest investment you can make, and I would love to join you on your journey to wherever you want to take your health!
