Regain Hope
You are no longer alone in this journey to reach your vision of improved health and wellness. When we work together, you’ll have an ally in your corner who can help with vision, logistics, planning, encouragement, and accountability. I will help create space where you can think, dream, and try new things.
Rebuild Confidence
Short-term experiments are action-driven, insight-filled, productive attempts that allow you to evaluate outcomes and keep you moving toward what you want and help you to figure out what exactly will get you there.
Redefine Success
How do you define success? Do you realize that it is all made up? Views held by others do not have to reflect your personal definition of success, wealth, or even health. You get to create definitions and meanings that inspire and work for you.
An age old problem: “Julie, I feel so stuck and overwhelmed.”
Find your way & do that thing that you have been wanting to do
Are you making only an inch of progress in a million directions? Do you long to give yourself permission to finally do that thing? Our initial work together will involve exploring exactly what you want to accomplish, prioritizing what comes first, and then co-creating a plan to get you there. You will have clarity of focus and a structure to help you make progress and work toward meaningful outcomes!

Hello, I’m Julie.
I am a catalyst for change and improvement of both individuals and systems.
I became a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and founded Waypower Coaching to help you find your way to a healthier you.
“I believe that it is difficult to accompany someone where one has never been.” ~Julie
Picture of me from the late 90’s that I recently uncovered on a friend’s social media feed.
————————————————————
My personal wellness journey started back in 2001 with a common theme for many 30-year-olds: a desire to lose unwanted weight. At 230 pounds, I’d reached a point where the weight was simply no longer acceptable; and frustrated, I worked towards identifying and implementing my own solutions. Initially, I found some information and support in a weight loss group. Then, I learned to prioritize daily movement and that all movement counts-not just gym-based “exercise.” Through trial (and a whole lot of error) I learned about healthier food choices that worked for my body. I implemented stress management techniques. I prioritized rest. I became a competent and creative cook.

In hindsight, I would have been much better served by a health & wellness coach.

This process and these steps were all important for me on my journey; It may not ring true for you-I suspect some of it will. Everyone has their own way of tackling these issues to become healthier. I promise you that there is a right way for you, too.
The same holds true for folks trying to make changes towards a healthier lifestyle due to health challenges. This represents the vast majority of clients that I work with. They have a recent diagnosis and want to make changes that can restore or allow them to regain their health. They are usually overwhelmed by the process and don’t know where to begin. This is where working with a health & wellness coach like me helps.
As your health & wellness coach, I am hyper-focused on your desired outcomes and help you to create a workable plan to get you to the outcome you seek. I help notice when things are off-track and ask questions to help you find the solutions to get you back on track.

Julie is empowering! She helped give me a framework to change my mindset to one of a positive growth mindset. She helped me create and scaffold a plan and identified tools for me to use as I actually stick to my goals. Julie was the coach I needed; kind but willing to point out the truth and support me by identifying steps to take to make the desired changes I have been wanting to change for years.

“Coach Julie has helped me achieve my movement goals with compassion and honesty. She has a remarkable talent for giving an encouraging comment to remind you of your strength and drive when you need it most. I’ve worked with several trainers, coaches, and nutritionists over the years and believe Coach Julie is one the best. I would trust and recommend her to my closest friends and family with enthusiasm!”
