Julia has been a health nut for most of her life. Living with endometriosis, Bipolar Disorder II, Complex PTSD, Functional Neurological Disorder, and Post Concussion Syndrome has inspired her to live as reasonably healthy as she can over the years! She had to become an advocate for herself as doctors left and right had no idea how to help her. Researching for years and continuing her education she gained a wealth of health knowledge that she was able to incorporate into her daily life.

 

Julia is an award winning choreographer with MOMENTA Dance Company, a physically integrated dance company in Oak Park, IL and taught as a Certified Pilates teacher at Village Pilates Studio in Forest Park, IL. Julia was a vibrant and highly active woman who was severely impacted by her last head injury in 2022. After multiple concussions caused invisible disability, she realized she had to do something to continue to help others in any way she could. During her healing journey, a number of hours of her day is spent resting from chronic fatigue. However, she dedicates as many hours as she can to helping others live well through movement, food, mindfulness, and sleep. She has also begun to write a book for simple healthy living!

Julia currently lives with her husband, Andy, a drummer and software developer, and their rescue dog, Penny. They like to play music, enjoy nature, and take long walks with Penny.
