Meet Julie
Hi, I’m Julie, the founder of Flourish True. I believe in a realistic, restorative approach to wellness—one that meets you where you are and evolves with your life.
For years, I saw people struggle with all-or-nothing thinking, feeling overwhelmed by rigid health ideals. That’s why I focus on small, sustainable shifts—because wellness isn’t about getting it perfect; it’s about progress that fits your unique life and brings you joy.
At Flourish True, I guide you through practical, compassionate nutrition coaching designed to reduce stress, not add to it. No guilt, no extremes—just realistic steps toward better health.
Let’s redefine wellness together.
Julie Specializes In:
Nourishing your body with simple, flexible, and sustainable nutrition—designed to support your unique needs.
Helping you build trust and respect for your body with gentle, step-by-step changes that fit your pace and life.
Empowering you with personalized, science-backed guidance while fostering strong connections with your healthcare team, community, and loved ones.
I practice from a weight-inclusive perspective, using ethical, evidence-based nutrition to support your well-being—without diets or guilt. Let’s nourish, restore, and reconnect with your body in a way that feels true to you.
The Back Story
Food has always been more than just fuel—it’s connection, comfort, and joy. Some of my favorite memories include summer bike rides for brownies with my mom and sister or the simple pleasure of a homemade meal (YES to lasagna!) at the end of a long day.
Over the years, I’ve met so many people who’ve struggled with their relationship with food and their bodies—feeling like neither has been a true ally. I’ve helped them rewrite that story, replacing pressure and perfection with gentleness, nourishment, and self-trust.
I’m here to help you partner with your NOW body, appreciate its uniqueness, and build a version of health that truly fits you. Because when we feel our best, we have more to give—to our loved ones, our passions, and most importantly, ourselves.
I’d be honored to sit with you, hear your story, and cheer you on as you find your Flourish True.
Stay Truly You,
Julie
