About Julie
I work with others looking to improve their health and lead the happy, active, vibrant life they really want and God really wants for them by helping them align with God's design by praying often, eating well & moving more (aka exercise).
Hi, I'm Julie!
Besides being a Registered Nurse, Health Coach & Creighton Model FertilityCare Practitioner, I hold a Master of Arts in Community Health Education and am a wife, mom & grandma too! I lead adult bible study at my parish, Holy Family Parish near Reinbeck, IA and I'm an avid Star Wars & The Chosen fan.
I spend as much time as possible outside in God's creation, walking & biking through the woods, watching the sun rise & set, and weed eating on our acreage in rural Iowa.
My nursing career includes long term care, eyes, school, as well as community health education, staff development & women's health. In addition to health coaching, I work part-time for Guiding Star Cedar Valley teaching the Creighton Model of FertilityCare as well as teaching about all stages of fertility from puberty through menopause. As a former farmer's market vendor, I also support local foods.
I enjoy learning about and sharing with others how God designed our bodies and how we can best take care of our Temples, giving God & us the best home possible.
Putting all the pieces together
When I became a nurse back in 1994, I had no idea the power praying often, eating well & moving more has to solve the root cause of most dis-ease people face today. Nor did I understand the intricate balance our hormones play in our overall health & wellbeing.
When I started combining my scientific nursing and health educator background with my Christian faith, I began to understand how God actually designed our bodies to work. In the process I earned a Master's Degree in Community Health Education as well as became a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and Creighton Model FertilityCare Practitioner. Since then, I've had the pleasure of witnessing amazing transformations when people are empowered with the knowledge of how God designed their body as well as how to align with God's design by praying often, eating well & moving more.
I realized God is calling you to take care of the Temples he blessed you with and it can be fun, especially when you call on him to light your way.
However, I do understand how our crazy, busy, fast-paced world doesn't make it easy to take care of yourself. That's why I offer several tips, strategies and encouraging support to make the most of your time. Allowing you to align with God's design by praying often, eating well & moving more.
If you're looking for someone to inspire & educate you, or someone to walk with you as you bridge the gap from where you are to leading the happy, active, vibrant life God wants you to have - then yes, you're in the right place! Welcome!
