Focus On Families

Julie entered the world of dietetics with the primary goal of helping children to learn how to lead a happy and healthy life.  As a child that dealt with issues around weight, Julie began the process of transforming her mind and body at the age of 12. Throughout her lifelong and continuing journey, Julie is in touch with the feelings and emotions that face children that deal with weight as an issue. Julie believes that children are never too young to learn the connection between a balanced diet and a strong body.

Her approach to working with kids on all issues is to empower them with the knowledge they need to feel confident in any situation. Julie speaks to families with language that kids understand so that the entire family is educated. As a mother of three children, Julie understands firsthand the pressures of the daily routine and how to make a balanced diet “fit” into our busy schedules.

Value-Driven Nutrition

For Adults

Since 2000, Julie Feldman has been providing nutrition counseling to adults. Whether you have recently been diagnosed with a medical condition that requires a change in your regular nutrition plan, or you hope to reach and maintain a healthy weight, Julie is able to help you meet your needs. Julie provides real-life nutrition guidelines and ideas including recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists but is keenly aware that long term success is based more deeply on our own self-esteem and coping skills than anything else. Julie understands that while most adults “know” what it means to follow a balanced diet, they don’t always put that knowledge to work.

Julie’s goal is to help her clients uncover the reasons why they have not been successful in the past. She aims to help her clients “re-write” their story and create a new path that has them reaching goals they never thought possible. Julie calls her unique approach to Value-Driven Nutrition and her results speak for themselves.

Speaker

Julie’s experience, confidence and knowledge shines through in her work as a public speaker and nutrition educator. Whether she is lecturing to a group of new moms or to a group of physicians and nurses, Julie shares her passion for the importance of good nutrition in a personable and approachable way.

Julie speaks to groups, both large and small, and is able to create motivating wellness-based presentations that call to action the listeners. In a workplace setting, wellness presentations improve morale and increase productivity. In a social setting, wellness presentations generate camaraderie and increase participation.

Julie is outstanding! We began working together almost a year ago prior to a surgery I was having and have been working together since. Not only has she drastically improved aspects of my diet/nutrition, but she has also played a huge role in my recovery process and helped keep me on the right track — both mentally and physically. As a former elite athlete, I had sought the advice of nutritionists previously, but none compare to the work and progress I’ve made with Julie. She truly is the best!

Working with Julie has made me feel more powerful in my decisions based on food. I had an extreme emotional connection and Julie helped me to break that, and see food in a completely different way. After losing about 30 pounds I feel absolutely incredible and can’t wait for the journey ahead!

I was tired of diets and gimmicks and fast ways to take off weight (which always resulted in gaining it back) when I started working with Julie. With Julie as my guide, I changed the way I think about food, and within a year, I dropped 20 pounds without dieting, and without feeling restricted. She's the best!

I started working with Julie as a way to step out of my eating disorder where for years, I was held hostage by a myriad of food rules and restrictions. Working with Julie, I finally have a solid, healthy relationship with food, and I continue to work with her to navigate food allergies without falling into the unhealthy habits of days past. Having Julie in my corner, with her unwavering support and guidance, is why I finally look forward to meals!

Working with you has been an interesting and very rewarding experience. I had such a negative view of food in the sense of being on many different diet programs and when you didn’t lose or you didn’t do what they asked you were shamed or made to feel guilty of the choices of food that you made and the only result from that was more negative choices. What I learned from you was how food affects your moods how you feel in general about yourself and it’s a much more positive experience. I have learned food is not your enemy but when you make better choices you feel good about yourself and it’s very empowering! Everyone needs to have a healthy relationship with food, it’s a journey like life. JULIE is an inspiring life coach so positive never shaming or criticizing you for not the best choices. One learns from their mistakes and move on you can’t undo the past. We all stumble in life and we learn from it and move on JULIE is an amazing person and anybody that would have the opportunity to work with her would be fortunate. it’s a very uplifting experience. Julie is a joy to work with!

Through her personal approach, accessibility, mentorship, and motivation, Julie has helped me work on underlying issues and understand what being healthy actually means!
