I’ve been struggling with my lower back ever since my 30s. I used to do all kinds of kicking type of exercises, and over time it has injured my back. So, I hired Julie Anne to help me with proper exercising so I could be out of pain and be safe. She teaches me how to do strengthening exercises with exercise tubing, cables, stability ball and more. I have stretches that I do and breathing exercises that help reduce my pain. We work on my feet as well, which helps me move better, along with the breathing exercises. Any time I have questions I am able to ask Julie Anne and she helps me a lot. Thank you Julie Anne for always being there for me!

Julie Anne has been my trainer for years, and I originally hired her because I liked what I saw when she worked with other people. My exercise routines involve challenging resistance training, and as a result, I am able to continue traveling with confidence. I have travelled to 82 countries over the years, with Africa, Japan and Morocco being my favorites. My most recent trip was to South America, where my daughter in law became very ill, ended up in the hospital in Argentina, and to my surprise, they taught her the same breathing practice and has continued with online help through the process that Julie Anne’s teaches, and has greatly benefited from it. I would highly recommend Julie Anne to anyone who wants to continue to live an active lifestyle, or to those wanting to stay independent.

My goal was always to be able to enjoy my retirement, be active, and do things I was not physically able to do prior to weight loss. I’ve viewed others in my life who experienced chronic pain and did not exercise, and I saw how it affected their lifestyle. Those who have stayed active and exercised not only do more and go more places, but they live longer with a better quality of life. So, I started working with Julie Anne several years ago to help me with strength and balance. I have had surgeries over the years, and I do believe that with being a regular exerciser, recovery has been faster with less effort. This has allowed me to be able to do everything I want to, including going to my favorite place on earth on a regular basis – the beach!

I was suffering from right hip pain, numbness and tingling down my right leg all the way to my ankle. I was either in bed or on the couch with a heating pad, unable to do much of anything. I’m generally a very active person, so it was very frustrating not being able to do the things I normally did. I went to a practitioner weekly with some relief, but it did not last long. I was not able to enjoy even going to church, let alone go out anywhere or even for a walk with my grandchildren or just grocery shopping. My quality of life came to an all-time low. I found Julie Anneand RIGHT AWAY I FELT I HAD HOPE. She truly cared and had the tools I needed to get back up on my feet. I have learned so much about my body and how it works. That the little things I have been doing (or not doing) with my body mechanics really make a difference in my health and quality of life. I have learned that I still have many good years ahead, and that I can still do the things I love. Ilisten and pay attention to my body and apply the simple techniques Julie Anne has taught me. I now know I can hit the road this spring and visit friends and family from Florida to upstate New York - pain free and a lot wiser.Thank you Julie Anne!

I used to lose my balance, always falling and walking into walls and stumbling over my own feet from neuropathy. Ater just a few weeks, I can actually feel sensation in the bottom of my feet, they feel alive! I find it funny how if you change the position of your feet and legs and how you stand and sit makes such an impact. I feel like a new person has stepped into my body and is taking over! This has made a big difference in my life, it’s made it a little easier to move onto my future. You’ve given me hope again.

Julie Anne was recommended to me by a close friend. I have an autoimmune condition that causes me to be in a lot of pain. I have tried many other services without much help, so I was a little skeptical at first. I am a very high-strung person and a mouth breather. Julie Anne taught me specific breathing exercises geared to what I needed, and teased out a lot of bad habits I was doing. This allowed my nervous system to stop ruling over and making my poor body movements, which has had an amazing effect on my overall health. Relax, breathe, and ‘let go’ has been the biggest bonus to me, and I now know how to manage my stress with my breath work and exercises. It is clearly visible just how much progress I have made. Julie Anne is a warm caring person and the process she teaches helps your body preform at its best. Thank you for helping me to be more comfortable in my own body and to have some control in handling my overabundance of energy!

I began working with Julie Anne 10 years ago in preparation for walking part of the Camino de Santiago. At 63 years old and overweight, I was not in shape to walk 100 miles in the mountains of Spain! Julie Anne helped me fix my posture and strengthen my legs that made for a very successful trip. She has continued teaching me how to exercise safely, including flexibility and breathing techniques to relieve pain and enhance my life experiences. With her guidance I have successfully handled bilateral knee replacements and learned to combat sciatica and arthritis in my pelvic area. I am enjoying travelling and have the confidence that my senior body can do things that I love to do! Thanks Julie Anne!!!

I decided to work with Julie Anne in order to age powerfully, and not exactly ‘gracefully’, which is what you always hear. She has a real heart for what she does and it is life-changing. I've always had skydiving on my bucket list and that's the specific goal we've worked towards during our time together...to become confident enough in my own body and its capabilities, that I wouldn't think twice about jumping from an airplane (at my age)! The biggest gain I have felt with this process? Empowerment! Not only physically, in learning correct posture and breathing skills, but mentally...a confidence and boost to my self-esteem that I haven't had in a very long time. I'm stronger...body, mind and spirit, and it shows up in my life every day. My biggest takeaway is that I'm capable of so much more than I thought I was; that there is no need to sit idly by and let aging overtake me. Getting older is inevitable, but aging is optional-and my option is to challenge it and be a better person for it! I recommend this program to everyone I know...not just those who are getting older. What I've learned from Julie Anne in our short time together can (and should be) part of everyone's wellness plan, regardless of age. In fact, if I'd known this information in my 20s, I'd be way ahead of the game now in my 60s! Julie Anne starts with you wherever you are, like every great coach, but when you finish, you're both winners!

I was referred to Julie Anne about 18 months ago and have been seeing her twice weekly since then. I sought her help to work with me on my joint alignment, balance and posture, as I have Parkinson's Disease and need to address those specific issues. I have been very happy with my results and with Julie Anne's commitment to helping me. Besides being very knowledgeable, she applies gentle but firm encouragement which helps to keep me accountable for doing my home exercises. Julie Anne’s shining personality always has a positive view with a joyful heart.
