Feel confident navigating food and health without rigid rules or guilt.

Create a relationship with eating that supports you now and in the years ahead.

Tired of trying to eat “right” only to fall back into old habits as soon as the diet’s over or life gets in the way?

Want to find a way of eating that works for you that isn’t shrouded with guilt, shame, and second guessing?

I meet you exactly where you are, whether you’re exhausted from years of dieting, navigating midlife changes, managing health concerns, or simply tired of feeling at war with food and your body.  

Rather than adding more rules, we untangle the beliefs, habits, and coping patterns that have been shaping your relationship with food. With understanding and new awareness, you rebuild self-trust and have the confidence and ease to make choices that support your wellbeing.  You will cultivate a way of caring for yourself that is flexible, sustainable, and truly your own.

My Services

Let's Work Together

Personalized Nutrition Counseling

Most nutrition programs try to change your behavior by giving you rules and accountability.  I will work with people differently.

We’ll focus on changing your relationship with food and your body so the choices you make feel natural, supportive, and sustainable.  Through personalized coaching, we explore the patterns, beliefs, and needs driving your eating and guide you in rebuilding trust in yourself, navigating nutrition information, and creating intrinsic motivation that will support your wellbeing now and in years to come.

Testimonials

"The actions I wanted to take now fall into place naturally."

“I’m more authentically myself now.  I’m doing the things I’ve always hoped for without feeling the pressure of needing to become a completely different person. By changing the way I think about exercise and food, the actions I wanted to take now just fall into place naturally.” 

Elissa

"I have a whole new level of understanding myself."

“When I started working with Julia, I thought I was going to learn how to eat.  What I’ve actually gained is a whole new level of understanding myself and what makes me tick.  No diet ever asked me how my brain works and now I know why none of them ever worked for me long term.” 

-Lisa

"I was able to quiet the judgmental voices that were not serving me."

“Working with Julia helped me feel more empowered to eat the way I want to eat, to re-evaluate the social constructs I had put on myself, and quiet the judgemental voices in my head that were not serving me.”

-Morgan

I'm Julia

Non-Diet Nutritionist and Wellbeing Coach

I am a recovering people pleaser and perfectionist, a former chronic dieter, and an ally for those wanting to feel comfortable in their body and be at ease with food.

I started dieting at 8 years old. And I’ve since gone from believing I needed to control my body to discovering what I really needed was to reconnect with it to truly support my health and wellbeing.

Starting with my Free Guide:  Understand Your Eating Type and Create Peace with Food

3 Steps of the

Nourishing Vitality Method

1. Build Awareness

Notice what’s influencing your eating habits.

Together we explore your thoughts, body signals, and the real life factors influencing your choices so you can understand what’s driving your habits.

2. Practice Curiosity

 Move from judgment to understanding.

Instead of criticizing yourself, you learn to ask curious questions that help you explore your needs, beliefs, and what else might be possible. 

3. Give yourself Permission

You are the expert of your own body and life. 

After years of outsourcing your authority to diets, experts advice, or other’s expectations, you begin reclaiming your right to decide what is best for you.  You learn to listen and respond to your body and make choices that support your wellbeing.

“I stopped chasing the idea of a perfect routine and started listening to what my body wanted that day. And without forcing it, I ended up moving more, eating better, and feeling happier.”

– Erin
