Julia is all about helping people shine—body, mind, and spirit! Growing up in Kenosha, WI, she discovered early on her love for teaching, creativity, and cheering others on. She followed that passion into education, earning her degree in Elementary Education (with a minor in Dance!) from UW–Whitewater, then a Master’s in Integrating the Arts in Education from Lesley University. For over 20 years, she’s brought energy and positive encouragement into classrooms as a teaching artist, using movement to spark joy, teamwork, and connection.
But Julia’s heart doesn’t stop there. As a certified Christian Life Coach, with added training in Mindfulness, Social Emotional Learning, and Positive Intelligence, she blends practical researched based tools with faith-filled encouragement. Through Julia's greatest challenges, she’s found her deepest transformation and healing through her relationship with God—and now her mission is to walk alongside others as they grow in emotional, spiritual, and relational wholeness. With grace and compassion, she helps people uncover their values, break through barriers, and live with clarity, faith, and purpose.
A little about her world outside coaching: Julia lives in Oak Creek, WI with her husband of 24 years, Chad, and their two teenage daughters. She finds joy in spending time with God, belting out karaoke, chasing sunsets, staying active outdoors, dancing and laughing with family and friends. Her life mantra is simple but powerful: LOVE WINS—and she’s passionate about sharing the love, grace, and hope of Jesus with everyone she meets.
