Thanks for droppin' in,
I’m Julie, a wellness specialist providing professional services that are rooted in compassion, trauma-informed and HAES-(Health At Every Size). This work is inspired by 30 years of personal recovery from an eating disorder (aka "E.D.") and my career helping others as a registered dietitian and yoga teacher in E.D. treatment. This enables me to serve clients seeking true peace with their bodies and food as well as the ability to live as their most Authentic Self so they can enjoy life to the fullest.
Additionally, I serve other mental health and substance use recovery programs, lead classes, courses, workshops and retreats both live and on-line, locally and abroad. I love to collaborate with other heart-centered organizations and colleagues to create experiences that heal and evolve humanity. My hope is for all people on Earth to know deep peace, vibrant health and ecstatic joy throughout their time here.
Off the mat you'll find me mountain biking, singing karaoke, shakin' my booty at a concert and immersing myself in the magnificent community around me. Explore this space to learn more. I hope our connection nourishes the heart of who you truly are.
Julie Norman (she/her), BS, ERYT/YACEP, CDCA
I only send out a few short emails a month with some musings, life updates and yoga practices. You'll be the first to hear about events, coaching openings and receive by free gift Chakra Journey Jumpstart
Julie's the best. She's transparent, kind and professional with an ability to speak the unvarnished truth sprinkled with humor to ease life's hard edges. She has traversed both personal and professional environments with confidence and grace while remaining steadfast to herself, her values and what best serves those who've trusted her with their experience. Like a mighty oak she's grounded and able to bend without breaking in the strongest of winds. Julie leads by example by walking her talk. My life's enriched by knowing her.
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 in your life.

Grateful to have Julie as a colleague and guide on my journey!
