"When I began working out with Julie 2 1/2 years ago I knew that I was unhappy with the body I was in. The workouts were great, I began to feel strong, and I started to appreciate this strong body I was creating (even if it didn't look like the models in the magazines). I did not realize that the strength gained would not only be physical but emotional. I had told myself for years that I was "too busy" for myself. I'm a mom. I work. We all have life stresses! My transformation of body and mind has brought me joy and self awareness that had allowed me the courage to become the best version of myself. I am able to forgive myself for set backs along the way. They are natural and normal. Then I get back to growing strong."  ~Colleen

"My 16 year old daughter signed me up to work with Julie; she wanted her 50 year old mom to live and enjoy her fun years ahead with her. I had NEVER worked out, and Julie offered me a program that made sense. Julie was understanding and offered me a supportive and encouraging environment, for this very naive mom entering the intimating workout and nutrition world. I was able to get into great shape and went to Europe with my daughter for her college graduation. We walked all over Europe and I would not have been in the shape needed for this adventure if not for her programs.  Thank you, Julie,  for allowing me to keep up with my very active 18 year old daughter. More adventures to come."  ~Sandy

"Before [working with Julie] I had given up and accepted that this is just how my body is.  I honestly didn't believe I could do anything different.  I had never been an athlete, nor ever worked out.  The only way I ever challenged myself was mentally.  The only physical challenge was having children.

I was in denial. I was invincible.  Nothing could hurt me.  But I realized that I actually was weak and human.  In my second pregnancy, I learned about diabetes that I could not control and was advised I was a high risk for getting it again later in life unless I made some life changes in the way I managed my food and exercise.

After daily shots of insulin, I realized diabetes was not for me.  After my aunt who struggled with diabetes passed from a heart attack, I saw what could be in my future and did not want to see myself slip down the slope.  She had always put others first.

I decided to try something that I had never prioritized before.  "ME"

I put myself first and the benefits only multiplied.  I became happier, more influential to others, grew in confidence and satisfied with a greater knowledge of my boundaries. 

Food matters.  Exercise matters.  Sleep matters.  I matter.  

 [Julie] helped me see beyond just exercise and diet.  You helped me center on myself.  The whole package."  ~Melinda

"I first met  Julie when my oldest was 5 months old, looking for help getting myself back on track after having a baby. It’s fair to say that I fell in love with her right away. Julie is what I consider a real deal, no judgment, no excuses kind of women! Immediately she taught me that hours in the gym wasn’t something I had to subject myself to. Thirty minutes of working out paired with making healthy food choices put me in the best shape of my life, physically and mentally! Not only was my physique  better, but what mattered to me more was the way I felt about myself and a budding confidence I never knew I had.

I have always thought that your mind is either your biggest supporter or your worst enemy and Julie got me on track to change the way I thought of myself and change the way I saw food. I can live my life without food controlling my every thought or plan, but I can also enjoy that piece of cake at a birthday party or dessert on date night and know that it is okay. I eat it, enjoy it, and move on! Do I follow my own advice perfectly? No, of course not, I just now know that things don’t happen over night, I am a work in progress and I am okay with that. Julie transformed my life in so many ways, and for that I will always be grateful."  ~Megan

"After trying everything under the sun with hardly any real lasting results, I decided to [work with Julie] after a friend from work suggested it.  I had never been happy with the way my body looked. I had always felt overweight.

 I can now fit into a size smaller pants comfortably! I have never worn a size 10 and couldn't believe that I was able to fit in them! I can see more muscle definition and feel comfortable wearing a tank top now. I'm feeling fit and definitely lighter overall.

 I've learned that losing pounds isn't necessarily the goal. Before I would drop 15 pounds crash dieting, but I didn't get the look I wanted. I don't look at the scales to measure my progress, it's about how I feel in my clothes! I've also learned that body change isn't quick. It's not supposed to be, but that doesn't mean you don't see results as you go along.

I've become more confident and feel good in my own skin. I'm proud of the changes I've made and my commitment to taking care of my body."  ~Rhiannon

"I truly have enjoyed your program! I feel worlds better and the fact that I fit into the jeans that I haven't been able to wear for years is a huge bonus!  All of the info that you have shared has been very helpful and sometimes surprising and eye opening. I appreciate it all! Thank you!!"  ~Kim
