About Julie

I have extensive education and coach training and have graduated from a leading Coach Training Program with America’s Premier Life Coach, Dr. Martha Beck.  I’m an excellent resource, coach, teacher, problem solver, court mediator, Transcendental Meditation practitioner and teacher, and life-long student.

But, honestly, what makes me the compassionate, insightful, loving, humorous, and skilled Coach and Facilitator I am today is a direct result of a combination of what I believe I am here on earth to do and what I have learned from my personal life challenges/gifts. This includes thriving after 8 surgeries; riding the waves of over 30 years of marriage to the same wonderful man; raising two very different and exceptional male children;  being a daughter and step-daughter; and teaching Special Education and Natural Childbirth classes, to name a few.

My Mission in 2010 is to inspire and empower people to recognize and live their highest vision and full potential for the highest good of the planet and all humankind.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe I was put on the planet to coach, teach, advocate, love, and Be the best I can be.

I feel it is a privilege to work with my clients.

During coaching, I create a safe environment for clients and clarity and possibilities arrive .

Anything is possible.

Change begins within.

My body tells me what I need and what to do, always.  I just have to listen.

I learn more every day and I gladly share the lessons with others.

I believe everyone deserves joy, respect, basic human rights and freedom in this lifetime.

I believe personal happiness is the best gift we have to give our children, friends, and world.

True abundance flows from enough; never from more.

We are all custodians of Mother Earth.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love your neighbor as you would yourself and your own family.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

About thoughts:  Our thoughts create our reality. If you think something is good or bad, you are correct.  Thinking is what makes it so. Our thoughts drive our actions which lead to results. We can change our thoughts. There are many tools that work effectively on changing thoughts.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; they make the best of everything they have.

Laughter is THE best medicine.
