You are vast like the sea,
as wise as ancient trees,
within you lies a gateway
to everlasting peace.
Julie Norman (she/her), BS, ERYT/YACEP
Welcome! How cool you found your way here:) I’m Julie, a Body Empowerment Coach providing professional wellness services that are rooted in compassion, trauma-informed and HAES (Health At Every Size) based. My background as a registered dietitian and yoga teacher in eating disorders treatment, plus 25 years of personal recovery, inspire me to primarily serve clients seeking deep and lasting peace with their bodies, food and authentic selves so they can create and enjoy their truest most beautiful selves. I help folks who:
- struggle to feel good in & about their bodies
- “feel fat” no matter their size, shape or weight
- are fed up with diets & wellness gurus
- want to feel light, free & empowered to live their dreams
I also love sharing yoga with anyone for any reason. Learn more about me, my career and offerings HERE and down below. Oh, and be sure to get your free gift for stopping by. Take your time to look around and let’s also stay in touch!

Julie has been a mentor to me in treating clients with eating disorders. She’s taught me the importance of compassion, to have patience and to expect uniqueness in each individual. She has a heart of gold and the will to help everyone find happiness and joy in life. I encourage anyone struggling with self acceptance or self care to have confidence that Julie can help make a difference.

Julie Norman is the best. She is transparent, kind, professional with an ability to speak the unvarnished truth with gentle, kind honesty liberally sprinkled with humor. She has traversed both personal and professional environments with quiet confidence and grace while remaining steadfast to herself & her values. Like an oak no matter the winds she remains grounded, able to bend without breaking. Julie leads by example. She walks the talk, a true guru. My life has been enriched by knowing her.
Dr. Marsha Ferrick, PhD
Julie opens a sacred space for people to embrace themselves fully with humor, respect, and mindfulness….to support and be supported by one another, the earth and by a shared, limitless energy. In a place of safety and compassion, we learn to explore the connection between our bodies, our thoughts, and our own divinity.

Julie Norman is an extraordinary yoga teacher and cherished presence in the Akron community. I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with her through Elevate Akron, the Akron Yoga Summit and Big Love Network. Julie brings exceptional expertise but also a big, warm hug and smile that creates a joyful, empowering space for everyone. Regardless of gender, her teaching awakens the goddess within each of us. Grateful to have Julie as a colleague and guide on my journey!

I can hardly believe the work you do. After our second session I simply felt that I was no longer fighting with my body. I’m not thinking about food nearly as much as I used to. I don’t need it for “comfort” now, rather simply for the energy and pleasure.
Sharon S., PEACE Coaching Client
I have known and worked with Julie for the past 3 years. I cannot say enough good things about her and the extensive knowledge she has in Yoga/Health Coaching. Julie truly cares about each client and person she encounters. She is very passionate and has a tremendous personality. I couldn’t recommend Julie more to anyone who is interested in becoming a better version of themselves!
