Hi! I’m Julie

I’m a dating expert + certified life coach. I help young adults get out of the dating game and into a real relationship that lasts.

I help young adults who want support with life planning, decision-making, & self-discovery.

I also help newlyweds who want to build & keep their happily ever after.

WHY DO YOU COACH YOUNG ADULTS?
When I was a YA, I did not have the necessary tools for happy, healthy relationships. Looking back, I can see it was a critical age for learning and a pivot point for big decisions - school, career, dating, marriage, and more serious commitment.  I want to give what I did not have access to as a YA. Plus, I believe that today’s YA knows more and wants more than previous YA generations. I feel called to provide answers for their searching questions.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Because I love it! It’s very fulfilling and fun!

HOW DID YOU GET INTO COACHING?
From my own experience with life coaching. I learned how to have relationships that were based on unconditional love and complete freedom. I received and continue to receive the life I always wanted, but never thought I could actually have. I want to share the joy, the energy, and the knowledge that changed my world for the better.

ARE YOU FUN TO WORK WITH?
There is an element of self-discovery in each coaching call, class, and workshop! I call that FUN! I love getting to know people and helping them get to know themselves better.

"Coaching with Julie has been life-changing! With her guidance, I truly like who I am and am excited about the person I'm becoming. I can't wait for my appointments with her each week!"

Have you worked with a life coach?

Yes! Because of life coaching…

  • I am married to my soulmate.

  • My fear of flying went away. Now I love to travel, especially in an airplane!

  • My religious beliefs transformed from obligation & obedience to freedom & joy, creating a deeper connection to God.

  • I could finally see how I was getting in my own way.

  • I chose to embrace decision-making and open myself up to marvelous mistakes, which have contributed to a vast amount of growth in a short period of time.

  • I decided to become a certified life coach and start my own coaching business.

I AM AN ARTIST

In college, I studied graphic design and illustration. Over the past 30 years, I’ve dabbled in freelance work and filled many sketchbooks with doodles, but I struggled to call myself an artist. I never felt like I deserved the title because I believed I wasn’t as skilled and talented as I should be.

I was shy about sharing my work - afraid that people wouldn’t like my art or think me a fraud. With the help and encouragement of a life coach, I am doing more art than ever before. I signed up for a year of art school and loved it. I found that I could develop confidence, style, and the courage to try new things. It’s a miracle that I’m brave enough to post my art on social media. What kind of miracle would you like to see in your life? What is holding you back from getting what you want most?
