About Julie
Even though I have various degrees and certificates, I am who I am today because of a combination of what I believe I am here to do on earth, and what I have learned from my personal life challenges and opportunities; including being an educator for 28 years, being married for over 30 years, raising 2 marvelous and very different sons, and thriving after 2 kinds of cancer and many surgeries along the way.

Some PHILOSOPHY
I believe I was put on the planet to coach, teach, advocate, love, and Be the best I can be.
I feel working with each client is an honor and a privilege.
During coaching, I create a safe environment for clients and clarity and possibilities arrive .
Anything is possible. Anything.
I learn more every single day and I gladly share the lessons with others.
Happiness and security isn’t found in a husband, job, career, pair of high heels, new home, or in “Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things”. One place it is found, is in a deep belief and love of one’s Self. My Mother and Grandmother taught me that very early on.
True abundance flows from enough; never from more.
Everyone deserves joy, respect, basic human rights and freedom in this lifetime.
Living our Truth and developing full Potential is the best gift we have to give our children, friends, and world.
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 a world that will be!
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
My body tells me what I need and what to do, always. I just have to listen.
When I show up as myself, other people love it. And if they don’t love it, it’s not about me–that’s their own problem.
About thoughts: Our thoughts create our reality. If you think something is good or bad, you are correct. What we make of an experience is what makes it what it is. We write the story. We tell the tale. 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.
Yada, yada, yada Sisters.
