    Hey there!

    If you’re tired of wellness being all or nothing, and you're looking for something that works, welcome. You’re in the right place.

    I’m Julie — a plant-based recipe creator, certified health coach with advanced hormone training. I'm also a trained yoga teacher, former restaurant owner, and mom of nine who’s been plant-based for over 20 years.

    I’ve batch-cooked more beans than I can count — and somehow still love a good chickpea.

    I help people feel better in their bodies (and their lives) through actionable wellness strategies, building healthy habits, and eating food that tastes really good.

    Grab a fork. Take a breath. Make yourself at home. I’m so glad you’re here.
