Hi, I’m Julie
Board-Certified Health Coach and founder of the SAVOR Method for women ready to thrive — both mind and body — in their next chapter.
My work is rooted in a simple belief:
Health isn’t something you force or fix — it’s something you learn to understand, support, and live in alignment with.
Especially in midlife, when the rules begin to change.
If you’ve found your way here, you may already sense it:
What used to work… no longer does.
And you’re ready for a more thoughtful, personalized way forward.

“Julie’s personalized health coaching has been a game-changer in helping me create a positive work-life balance.
As a busy mother, wife, and businesswoman, I struggled to prioritize my health, but Julie’s guidance helped me set achievable goals and practices that truly fit my lifestyle.”
Who does Julie work with?
I work with women who have spent years showing up for others — in their careers, families, and communities — and are now ready to turn that same level of care toward themselves.
Often, they’re navigating a meaningful transition:
A move to Charleston
Retirement or a shift in identity
Changes in health, energy, or metabolism
A new chapter after divorce or loss
They’re thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware.
And yet, something feels different.
The routines that once worked no longer fit.
And the question becomes:
“What does my body — and my life — need now?”
What does a health coach actually help with?
As a Board-Certified Health Coach in Charleston, SC, I help you bridge the gap between knowing what to do and living it in a way that feels sustainable and aligned.
Together, we focus on:
Refining your energy, strength, and overall sense of wellbeing
Navigating stress, sleep, and lifestyle shifts
Building structure — without rigidity
Reconnecting with what helps you feel your best
You may need a more thoughtful way to apply it.
What is the SAVOR Method?
The SAVOR Method is my signature framework for helping women thrive in mind and body.
It isn’t a program you follow.
It’s a framework we tailor — thoughtfully — to your life.
Rooted in positive psychology and over 30 years of experience, my SAVOR Method looks at your health as a whole system:
The SAVOR Method
Sustenance
Decode your eating behaviors and nutrition.
Activity
Discover life-long habits and joyful ways to move your body.
Variables
Understand your medical and genetic nuances.
Organization
Manage stress in a way that works for you.
Refuelment
Tune into what makes you flourish.
4 Quick Tidbits About Me…
1. I was one of the first health coaches to become board-certified through the National Board of Medical Examiners (something I’m SO proud of!)
2. I have a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and I’m ACE Personal Training Certified and I use this powerful combo in my coaching. I believe deeply in both mental and physical fitness — they’re never separate.
3. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is a dance party with my family (follow me on social to a glimpse of the action!).
4. While I don’t consider myself adventurous, I’ve trekked silverback gorillas in Uganda, climbed Huayna Picu, and jumped out of an airplane.
