About Julie

Hi! I’m Julie

I am a honest + passionate intention-setter,
career woman, yoga lover & fat-bomb junkie,
whose mission is to help women banish burnout,
to help them live a productive & inspired life!

I am the go-to gal for busy business women who want to improve burn-out, increase energy, and live an high-vibe life!

I am also a YouTuber and Health & Lifestyle Expert.

I‘ve been on my own health journey since 2010 when I suffered extreme fatigue (aka burnout) from my corporate job. It was also around the time where I experienced my first anxiety attack that sent me to the emergency room. As a business woman, it’s incredibly challenging to be able to execute in your career when you suffer from restless sleep, you’re energy is tapped, you have brain fog, and as a result, you’re completely uninspired and unproductive.

And don’t get me started on mid-section weight gain 🙁

That’s why it’s my mission to work with women to resolve the underlying issues of their burnout and teach them techniques to manage stress and to take care of themselves first!

Most days, you’ll finding me working in human resources during the day, and working as a certified holistic nutritionist at night. There’s a lot on my plate. That’s why I ensure that I always take time to recharge with yoga, listen to podcasts, and get plenty of vitamin n (nature). And, that’s what I teach those women that work with me: less hustle, more intention, and a whole lotta success!

LET’S GET PERSONAL, SHALL WE?

I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada with my handsome hubs, James. We don’t have children but I’ve promised him a fur-baby one day! On weekends, I’m doing yoga, meal-prepping for the week, sipping coffee in the morning and red wine with dinner. And, I’m committed to hitting the hay by 10pm [it’s a must!].

I love to cook and you’ll find “healthified” pasta, pizza, and tacos generally on our plates most weeks. Hello Slow-Cooker [lifesaver].

I’m obsession with fatty coffees but I also love me some matcha or turmeric lattes loaded with F-A-T-S such as coconut milk, coconut butter, brain octane and hemp hearts!

I enjoy learning about health, and I’m particularly interested in mindset work and meditation. I loooove listening to podcasts!

I don’t watch much t.v. but when I do, I enjoy watching re-runs of the Golden Girls, Friends, and Sex In The City!

You can find me on Instagram and Facebook to learn more about moi. Make sure to say hello!

And, if you’re curious about working with me, you can learn more about that HERE.

You don’t need expensive “superfoods” to support y You don’t need expensive “superfoods” to support your health. These are five simple foods I eat almost every day because they’re backed by science and easy to incorporate into real life.

🫐 Blueberries – rich in anthocyanins that support brain health and help combat oxidative stress.

🍋 Lemons – a great source of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production and immune function.

🌾 Psyllium husk – one of the most evidence-based fibres for supporting gut health, healthy cholesterol levels, and blood sugar balance.

🥛 Fermented foods – help nourish the gut microbiome and have been shown to increase microbial diversity while reducing inflammatory markers.

🥒 Cucumbers (and other high-water, low-calorie foods) – support hydration, add volume to meals, and can help increase fullness.

Small, consistent habits often outperform complicated nutrition plans.

Save this post for your next grocery shop and let me know—which of these do you already eat every day?

I’d scroll through Instagram seeing women with str I’d scroll through Instagram seeing women with strong, sculpted physiques & at the same time, be inspired & frustrated…

Why not me?

And I realized: 
I didn’t actually want the process. I wanted the result.

But I wasn’t willing to look honestly at what the process required.

The years of progressive strength training.
Learning how to actually fuel my body instead of guessing.
Building muscle slowly before it ever shows up visually.
Showing up.
Unlearning years of quick-fix thinking.

There’s a line from Atomic Habits that stops you in your tracks:

“To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

We want the strong, lean, defined body, but don’t want to lift with intention & patience for years to build & see it.

High-performing women understand effort in every other area of life.

But health doesn’t respond to intensity.
It responds to consistency.

If you want a result that most people don’t have, you have fundamentally change who you are.

Be honest… are you chasing the result or committed to the process right now?

One of the biggest changes I’ve made recently? Swa One of the biggest changes I’ve made recently?
Swapping some of my long, steady-state cardio sessions for Norwegian 4x4 intervals.

The workout is simple:
➡️ 4 minutes hard effort
➡️ 3 minutes recovery
➡️ Repeat 4 times

Why I love it:
✔️ Improves VO₂ max (one of the strongest predictors of longevity and cardiovascular health)
✔️ Improves aerobic fitness and endurance
✔️ Time efficient — done in about 40 minutes
✔️ Helps support heart health and healthy aging
✔️ Leaves more time for strength training and recovery

A 2024 study found that the Norwegian 4x4 protocol significantly improved VO₂ max compared to moderate-intensity training.

At 47, I’m less interested in burning calories & more interested in building a stronger body, better fitness & long-term health.

Have you tried Norwegian 4x4s?

This week’s midlife glow-up favourites ✨ And hone This week’s midlife glow-up favourites ✨

And honestly? Most of them start with getting enough protein.

One of the biggest game changers for my energy, body composition, cravings, and strength has been prioritizing a solid protein hit first thing in the morning — and making sure my snacks support my goals too.

And the 5th favourite? A good exfoliator 👏

Because glowing skin in midlife is both internal and external.

Protein + skincare + consistency = the real glow-up.

Comment “glow” if you want my fav exfoliators 💛
