Ways to Work with Me
If you have made your way here, then you probably want to feel better and are considering seeking help to reach your health goals. I am not here to convince you that our Standard American Diet is killing us (but it is). If you agree with me here, than you're in the right place. What I am here to do is teach you how you can heal yourself by taking a holistic approach to your health: mind, body, spirit, and environment.
​
I offer four ways to work with me:
1. 5 R Gut Healing Program (you can download & access right now)
2. Private Individual Consulting
How do you get to where you want to be?
Making it to your destination, a.k.a. your wellness goals, is a journey. And really, it's not a destination; wellness is about making choices everyday - it's the journey. There will be bumps, construction, detours and forks in the road where you’ll have to make some decisions. I am going to be honest with you here…there is no quick fix, no magic pill, nor a new fad diet that will put you on the fast track to transformation. Long lasting change takes time, hard work, patience, a positive attitude, a vision of your end goal, and… support and guidance. That’s where I come in.
You get to where you want to be by taking small steps, one day at a time. Steps that feel right for you. My job as a holistic nutrition consultant is to provide a safe, confidential, judgement free space to guide and support you as you take the wheel to navigate your wellness journey.
An amazing fact: 80% of your immune system is found in your gut! We are learning so much about how the health of the gut determines the health of the individual. So when your gut is out of balance (dysbiosis) many symptoms can be seen, even ones that are not related to your gut. The best place to begin is the gut. The Five R Gut Healing Program was developed to help pretty much anyone. This is just a partial list of issues that healing the gut can help with:
​
-
digestive issues (gas, bloating, GERD, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea)
-
thyroid issues, Hashimoto's
-
autoimmune diseases
-
food intolerances or sensitivities
-
skin issues, such as eczema, rashes, anal itching
-
low immunity (always getting sick)
-
low energy
-
mental fog, lack of mental clarity
-
ADHD
-
Anxiety, mood swings
-
food cravings
-
seasonal allergies
-
chronic infections (sinus, yeast, kidney/gall stones)
​
This program is based on the Five R's:
-
Rebalance...with healthy, sustainable life-style practices
-
Remove...foods that may be causing inflammation in the intestinal tract
-
Replace...with whole, nutrient dense, and healing foods
-
Repopulate...the gut with good health promoting bacteria
-
Repair...with healing foods and supplements
​
I offer this as a self-paced program that you can access right now as a .pdf download! It includes:
the 5 R Gut Healing Program guide, Reintroduction to Foods booklet, TWO cookbooks, 1 week meal plan, and BONUSES! All for only $97 (valued at over $400)!
​
People who have followed this program have seen a huge different in their gut health: feeling less bloated and no more stomach pain.
​
The 5 R Gut Healing Program has 5 steps: Rebalance, Remove, Replace, Repopulate, and Repair. It is used when the body needs to reset, rebalance, and heal the gut. It is self-paced and done over a period of 5-12 weeks, depending upon the individual.
​
It is a step by step program that walks you through this tried and true protocol to help you heal your gut. You will remove foods that could be causing you distress and replace them with health giving foods. It also lists supplements and herbs that can be used to help the healing process (remember you have access to my professional-grade Fullscript supplement dispensary with a 10% discount).
​
It includes the Five R Gut Healing guide book, TWO cookbooks, and a one-week meal plan to help with the planning. At the end of the program you will use the Reintroducing Foods & Empowered Eater booklet (included) which guides you through what to do after the program.
​
And there are BONUSES! You will also receive:
-
Immune Supporting Plate handout that shows you what foods to put on your plate for optimal health and healing.
-
Balancing Blood Sugar handout explains all the important information you need to know how foods effect your blood sugar and tips to keep cravings at bay.
-
Mindful/Intuitive Eater booklet that gives you practical tips on how to become more in touch with your hunger cues so you can become a mindful/intuitive eater.
Private Individual Consulting

You will receive an email from me if your application has been approved to schedule your FREE Discovery Call. If I feel I'm not the right practitioner for you, I will also let you know and send you some resources that may be helpful for you.
FUNCTIONAL LABS DISCLAIMER + INFORMATION ON LABS
I have completed programs with Restorative Wellness Solutions, which is a certification program that grants practitioners access to functional labs to be used for detecting imbalances. Laboratory testing is performed to determine areas of dysfunction and opportunities for healing, not in diagnosis or treatment. I am not a doctor and do not diagnose or treat disease. I suggest each client shares lab results with their primary care doctor and refer to their doctor for any questions. **Labs are available to clients only- I do not offer labs to the general public. I am unable to ship labs to NY, NJ + RI**

What group program clients have to say...
Heather
I finally found a program that didn't just focus on portion control, food, and exercise. It helped me understand the psychological reason behind overeating and emotional eating. It not only did that, but it also gave me tools to work with to address those issues. You also learn your own body cues. Looking forward to a better lifestyle."
Melissa
These classes helped me explore my eating habits in a new way. It helped me recognize there are emotional components and triggers to eating. Through exploration and insight, I believe these classes have helped me not only recognize, but gave me the tools to help improve eating but also overall health practices."
Emily
This experience was full of so many great ways to rebuild the relationship I have with food and myself. There are techniques that have become a part of my everyday, which help me eat when I am hungry and stop when I am satisfied - not full and in pain! The connection & sharing with others was helpful to know you're not alone. Julie is such a caring and passionate instructor that provides more than just the information - she provides hope & inspiration!"
No Current Date Set at this Time
As women, we've been misled about our bodies and periods. We've been told that during our "time of the month" we're crazy, out of control, bitchy, irritable, hard to work with, emotional, our periods dirty. Don't talk about it, we're told. Be discreet, we're told. This can all lead to a dysfunctional mindset when it comes to our bodies and a disconnection from them. The Red Thread is where you will unlock all the secrets of our cycles. Dare to talk all things period related. Learn about what is actually happening during each week of your cycle and each stage of life (we’ll talk hormones), learn how diet can affect your cycle and symptoms (we'll talk about & practice blood sugar regulation), discover the amazing things your body is capable of (we’ll talk body appreciation), connect to your divine feminine (we’ll talk self-love). We are all connected, you know, by this Red Thread.
​
Program Structure
This is a 6-week program that meets online using Zoom. It is a safe place to connect with and support your sisters. Each week there will be a lesson/topic introduced during the call and time for discussion. Some of the topics include:

hormones & what goes on during your cycle & at each phase of life

our female anatomy

​
You will learn a ton, things you've never been told, and you'll feel great at the end of the 6 weeks!
