Meet Your Coach, Julie
“You can eat kale and quinoa and still have ice cream for dessert – it’s all about balance!”
As a Certified Health Professional and Personal Trainer with a specialty in Youth Physical Activity, and most importantly a mom to two teen girls, I know that balance and wellness are possible for kids – with the right approach. I founded Rise Wellness Coaching to give teenagers information and inspiration tailored to this unique time in their lives.



“..I can’t say enough great things about Julie. Her positive energy and enthusiasm are infectious. Not only does Julie offer a wealth of knowledge on all things fitness and nutrition, but she also places an emphasis on the connection between physical and emotional wellness and the importance of finding the right balances in life. My teens have always enjoyed and benefited from their workouts with Julie.”
– SG, father of teen boys
“…Julie worked at my school for a year and a half. Her passion for bringing out the best in others combined with her loving and caring nature makes her the ideal mentor for today’s young people.”
– San Diego, Elementary School Principal
“…I’ve tried different diets but for one reason or another I kept falling off the wagon. I finally found someone that took the time to sit down with me and understand my habits, routines and struggles… Julie makes it easy to understand what is best for you and encourages you in the most positive way! Following her advice and becoming healthy was so much easier than I thought.”
– San Diego, Mom
“…she was the perfect role model for our girls. I have such admiration for her enthusiasm and energy. Julie is a true leader and brings positive energy while adding professionalism to any project she is involved in…”
– San Diego, Girls on the Run Head Coach
“..Personally I loved working with Julie, I think the entire plan she came up with for me and our time together has impacted my life so much and I am so glad I worked with her.”
-Teen client
“…Not only does Julie have the expertise in all areas of health and wellness, she also has amazing skills engaging and connecting with teens. After working with Julie, my daughter is taking ownership of her renewed lifestyle, working out with friends and making far healthier food choices while working on improved self-esteem/confidence. As a result, I’ve seen a huge difference in her overall attitude.”
-Mother of teen daughter
“Julie has amazing energy and a unique ability to connect and build trust with today’s youth (which is no easy feat). My daughter looked forward to her sessions and Julie became an instant role model to her. Furthermore, I found it extremely helpful to have a resource outside of myself to address the challenges occurring in our home…”
–Kelly, mom of teen daughter
