Every individual who steps outside the cultural norm has a unique story. Julie's journey began in her youth when she frequently fell ill with minor colds, flus, and tonsillitis. She battled pneumonia several times, with a severe case at age 11, leading to chronic breathing issues and a weakened immune system from years of heavy antibiotic use. One doctor labeled her as a perpetually "sickly" person. 

However, at 15, Julie's life changed when she met a massage therapist who sold herbal supplements. This "crazy natural lady" introduced Julie to natural healing methods, and her health began to improve. This sparked Julie's relentless curiosity about natural remedies and a passion for promoting healthy living to prevent illness. 

Nearly 30 years later, Julie's mission is more potent than ever as she transforms lives. Her ultimate goal is to make her profession obsolete by fostering a world where everyone lives so healthily that practitioners like her are no longer needed. Until then, she works one-on-one with clients ready to undertake the physical, mental, and emotional work for extraordinary health.

Julie also speaks on stages, encouraging both women and men to realize their potential for living their best lives after 40, challenging the notion that "it's all downhill from here." She also speaks to teens encouraging them to take action as their behaviors now prevent disease later. Additionally, she writes books, hosts a podcast, and blogs to make her message accessible to those unable to invest in her expertise. She has proudly carried the title in her own community of the "crazy natural lady" for her entire adult life.
