Hi I’m Julia!

My passion is to change and improve peoples lives through thier health and fitness.  It is in my blood.  Since childhood, as soon as I started doing gymnastics and dancing, I always wanted to teach someone.  My parents are teachers, so the choice was obvious even in the seventh grade that I was meant to help people through coaching and training. I knew I wanted to inspire, change, and improve other people’s lives. 

I received a bachelor’s degree from the Institute of Physical Culture.  One of the skills I learned and exceeded in was massage. Surprisingly for everyone, this petite woman has strong and grasping hands. I immediately felt at home learning and practicing massage and quickly knew it was something I was meant to offer. 

I have also gained a master’s degree in physical rehabilitation therapy which is a complimentary, and often overlapping field of expertise with massage and physical training.

In parallel with my formal education, I have been teaching Latin dance since the age of 16. I’ve always loved teaching my passion for dance and movement to women of different ages and fitness levels. In doing so, I have come to realize that we are all so different. Between our unique genetics, our lifestyle and activity choices and our different personalities, we all have completely different needs for health and fitness. Because of that, I love offering a variety of teaching and training styles that can fit anyone’s goals. 

At the moment I have 18 years of coaching experience behind me. I know exactly what a body feels and what a body needs. I know how to change it, how to improve it, how to correct and relax it. I am a woman too, this is so very important!  I understand other women on a deeper level. I understand the culture and the struggles we all go through with acceptance, body image, food issues, diet fads, fitness trends and more. I have been through it too, and just like you, I continue to experience all on a daily basis, but through my work, I have come to know what works and what doesn’t. I want to pass this on to you. Together we will find a steady path for you to reach your goals, and get you to a happier, healthier you!
