Book your intro Zoom! My Method Motivational Interviewing Motivational interviewing is a type of counseling that assists individuals in resolving conflicting feelings and uncertainties, enabling them to discover the deeper motivation necessary for behavioral change. This method is a practical, empathetic, approach that acknowledges the challenges associated with making significant life changes. Stages of Change The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) teaches us that change is possible, as it involves intentional decision-making and five distinct stages of progress: Precontemplation - acknowledging the need for change. Contemplation - serious consideration of the problem at hand. Preparation - taking steps to make change happen. Action - putting in the work to overcome the problem. Maintenance - never giving up and continuing to work towards maintaining the gains made. SMART Goals SMART goals require clear definition of all variables related to objectives. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Specific determines who, what, where, and why. Measurable tracks progress. Achievable ensures resources are available. Relevant connects to deeper motivations. Time-bound establishes a deadline with steps for success. Let's Talk ROI Medical Costs A group of Harvard researchers found that for every dollar spent on corporate wellness programs, employers save $3.27 on medical costs and $2.73 on absenteeism costs. Does It Work? According to The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine -“Do Workplace Health Promotion (Wellness) Programs Work?” Although the evidence is still being compiled, workplace corporate wellness programs produce positive financial outcomes for employers. Value A case study analyzed a long-running Johnson & Johnson corporate employee wellness program over seven years and reported an ROI of $1.88, nearly $4.00 for every dollar spent.

Holistic Health Coaching For Women You deserve to feel your best at every age! Yes, please! What Clients Are Saying... "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. Meet Julia You are stronger than you think and full of surprises. Be the inspiration that drives you! My Story Hi! I'm Julia, a recovering C-suite Executive Assistant! Like many others, I came to the health and wellness space to better understand my own body. Living with burnout, approaching menopause, and looking to overcome autoimmune issues, pain, and poor body mechanics from sitting at a desk most of the day, I embarked on a journey of self-reflection and discovery. Unfortunately, this also came with frustration, misdiagnoses, and a hella lot of gaslighting . ​ Filled with exasperation at the absence of information and attention given to women’s health issues, I started a podcast about the subject. A few months later, I returned to school for my health coaching certification and to finish my Pilates apparatus training. ​ At 45 and after a traumatic knee injury, I took a bold step and left my lucrative job in real estate development and finance to pursue a career in wellness. It was terrifying, but I was determined to fill the information gap in healthcare and empower people, particularly women, to take control of their bodies and pursue their best life at any age. ​ I consider it an incredible privilege to be able to earn a living by pursuing my passion. For a long time I thought it was too late to pivot to a new career. In the biz we call this a limiting belief and one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is to help people overcome such beliefs. ​ Interested in learning more? Yes, please! Stay in touch!

Holistic Health Coaching for Women Welcome! Being a woman isn’t easy. It comes with all sorts of f*ckery, and I firmly believe that the cultural norms around women's health need to be challenged so that every woman can have the knowledge and power to speak about her health needs and desires confidently. As a holistic health coach for women, I don’t endorse restrictive diets or focusing on your weight (aka the dreaded scale). I believe in promoting realistic nutrition goals and developing healthy behaviors and confidence at any weight A healthy lifestyle is only possible when hormones are in check, and any underlying issues are identified and understood. I aim to empower women to manage their health by guiding them, not dictating what they should do. I offer a holistic approach in a non j udgmental, irreverent, no-BS environment where women feel comfortable and seen. As a no-nonsense holistic health coach for women, I'm results-driven, and you should be, too. That doesn't mean I lack compassion and empathy; it means that the only way to make change is by doing the work rather than complaining about our problems. If you follow the steps we put in place, you will succeed! Whether you're a young woman struggling with weight loss, confidence, body image, burnout, or dysregulated hormones or a middle-aged woman dealing with perimenopause, menopause, and other chaos that comes with aging, together, we will find ways to help you feel infinitely better than you do right now. Book my free intro Zoom! My Method Validate Educate Advocate ℠ Validate Are you tired of feeling unheard and unseen when talking to your medical provider, partner, or friend? Do you feel stuck or that your concerns and goals are not being taken seriously? You are not alone in this struggle! We will address your concerns without gaslighting or judgment. Let's work together to get to the bottom of the issue and find a solution that works for you. Educate Understanding ourselves can be a complex task. I provide relevant, evidence-based information, methods, and resources to help you identify the causes of your experiences. This will enable you to determine the best course of action for yourself. No BS. No pseudoscience. The key to lasting change is to recognize how our body works and the root of certain behaviors. Advocate You will develop more control and independence as we focus on nurturing your sense of agency. We will find the necessary tools and resources to build your knowledge, courage, and understanding of your own needs and desires. As you become an expert on your own health, you will gain the confidence to express yourself with clarity and conviction in any setting. What to Expect Body Literacy Get to know your body better, or you may even get reacquainted! The body you had yesterday may not be the body you have today. However, taking the time to acknowledge the why of what is happening, along with the signals your body is sending, puts the power back in your hands and can set you up to age well! Confidence You will discover your sense of agency. With this newfound confidence, you will be able to articulate your needs and desires with clarity and conviction. Moreover, it will help you create a clear vision of your goals, knowing you have the capabilities to accomplish them! Practical Strategies Together, we will establish trust and accountability. We'll create a practical plan tailored to your unique lifestyle and preferences as we tap into your deepest motivation, overcome barriers, and develop problem-solving systems that you can use on your own. In the end, your toolbox will be filled with all the tools you need to achieve and maintain change! Schedule & Pricing Book Your Intro Zoom Finding a health coach who is suitable for you is like finding any other medical practitioner that you prefer. It’s a lot like dating! The introductory Zoom meeting allows us to discuss your concerns, expectations, and my approach to ensure that we are a good match. Schedule Together, we will find a day and time that works for you consistently. For best results, I recommend a three-month commitment because it typically takes that long to see results. We will meet bi-weekly with sessions lasting between 40-50 minutes. Pricing I offer a flat monthly rate of $200. I don't provide any discounts so that all my clients are treated equally and there is no sense of unfairness.
