Hi I’m Julia!

I’m all about helping you to do the best you can for your health and happiness, to feel your best, energetic, sparkly self. 

This looks different for all of us and I believe there is no one size fits all approach, so I can help you create your version of “healthy” that fits into the context of your life.

What I’ve realised in my own journey is that it’s all perfectly imperfect and our bodies are always giving us feedback.

I once thought my body was working against me, with digestive issues and IBS throughout my  twenties I’ve done the elimination diets and at first I battled with a gluten and dairy free diet (which I now maintain and love).

When I was sick of hating my bloated and puffy body, I started my own “healthy” quest the only way I knew...over exercising, being obsessed with eating the perfect low carb diet and I avoided eating out with my friends. 

I felt and looked fabulous and within 6 months I was missing my period with hormonal imbalances, struggling with social anxiety and taking life way too seriously. 

Emotional and physical stress that shut down my reproductive system for 9 months was a warning signal to me that I wasn’t exactly “healthy” or happy! 

In other words, dieting can “work” but for how long is it sustainable?

My mid twenties gave me a good smack in the face and I took a new holistic approach to my wellbeing, something that I could maintain and that felt good.

I discovered tools to manage my overthinking and self loathing, this helped me to be more “me” and more present without letting my thoughts bring me down. It’s now a daily mindfulness practise for me and I’m now trained to teach you the tools!

I fell in love with my Yoga practise and took myself to the home of it, Rishikesh India and did my Yoga Teacher Training.

My approach to nutrition is to eat real, whole food as close to its natural state as possible.

Some call it, an 80/20 approach otherwise known as, just eat real food, most of the time.

Now, this is what I help my clients with. To find your version of healthy, not someone else’s ideal version of perfectly healthy. I meet you, where you are now and we work together to get you confident in your own lifestyle habits and food choices that fit into the context of YOUR life and feels manageable and enjoyable.

I’m passionate about having more home cooked food and foods that sustain your energy levels and nourish your body’s needs as a healthy, energetic woman because that’s the way we’re supposed to feel! 

We work out what’s best for you, taking steps towards sustainable healthy habits including food choices, mindfully managing stress, moving your body in a way that makes you FEEL good and your very own self care tool kit, to fill your own cup.
