You are stronger than you think
and
full of surprises!
Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?
Do you suffer from symptoms associated with midlife change, perimenopause, menopause or burnout?
Who am I?
Hi! I'm Julia Granacki, an IIN certified Health and Wellness Coach and Pilates instructor. I provide compassionate, evidence-based, no-BS lifestyle and nutrition guidance for busy, ambitious women combatting the aggravating and often confusing physical and emotional changes that come with midlife. I believe that suffering through this time is optional, prioritizing yourself is non-negotiable, and having a sense of humor is necessary. I know that together, we can find ways to help you feel infinitely better than you do right now.
Who are you?
A woman suffering from symptoms associated with midlife change, perimenopause, menopause, and burnout. You have been navigating this landscape for more than a minute and keep thinking, "There has to be a better way!" You've worked hard to get where you are, yet you suddenly feel you have no control over what's happening to your brain and body.
I know how you feel because I've been there, and I reject the idea that midlife has to be miserable, and so should you!
If this is your vibe, I'm the coach for you!
What the heck does a Health Coach do?
You want to make a change. Maybe you're not sure where to start or you start strong and fizzle out somewhere along the way. You want control. You want body sovereignty.
I'm here to help you achieve that. All coaching is client led because you are the best expert on you!

-
Establish trust and accountability.
-
Evaluate where you are and where you’d like to be. We will set realistic step by step actions to achieve your goals.
-
Identify challenges and hidden barriers that are preventing change.
-
Build problem-solving systems you can apply (on your own) as new goals and obstacles arise in the future.
Tools I use:
-
A broad knowledge of health and wellness information to help you navigate a variety of concerns.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
-
Positive Psychology
-
Stages of Change (SOC)
-
SMART Goals

Testimonials
"Working with a wellness coach made me nervous because I have always struggled with making myself and my body a priority. My internal judge was ready to meet her match, but Julia vanquished that with her nurturing and holistic approach with a healthy dash of irreverent humor. She met me where I was at in my life and helped me set reasonable habit-stacking goals that left me with so much knowledge and confidence! I may not always get it right, but I can hear her voice telling me not to judge myself, celebrate the small wins, and better choices next time. Also, there was so much thought and custom content packed into and between sessions! Every second counts with Julia."
-Jenna S.
"I was highly resistant to working with a Health Coach. I didn’t think I had time and wasn’t super motivated. Still, I knew something had to shift as I wasn’t prioritizing my health properly, nor was I taking steps to do so. Julia eased me in, worked with me at my pace, and slowly started challenging systems I had in place that weren’t serving me. And she was right – on literally every single front! During our sessions, she gave me actionable steps beyond what I ate and had so much patience and compassion. Habit sometimes made me walk into our meetings dreading a scolding, and instead, I would leave them feeling emotionally lighter and inspired. Julia truly has a gift for listening to people, meeting them where they’re at, and creating small steps that become meaningful, bigger changes over time. Whether big or small, change; she will champion you!”

"Working with Julia was a true gift. I felt heard and not judged at all. She came up with several ways to reach my goals that were all attainable and fit my lifestyle without being overwhelming. She is witty, extremely knowledgeable, and I can tell she truly wants to help people live their best lives."
