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.
