What words come to mind when you hear the word “diet"? Calories? Low carb/low fat? Salads? No fun? Never again?

Julia doesn’t like the word “diet.” Why, you ask? Because healthy eating should not be a miserable, short-term experience, but an enjoyable, lifelong journey. Julia would like to challenge the word “diet” and promote new ways of thinking about healthy living.

Julia is passionate about health, nutrition, and most importantly, people. She facilitates an open, positive environment and tailors nutrition education and plans to each unique client. The dietitian is only a guide, while the clients lead the way to achieve their own goals towards a healthier lifestyle.

Julia is a registered dietitian. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed her dietetic internship at Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital. She has experience working with a wide variety of people with diverse medical conditions. Julia believes that healthy living can be fun, and she has the tools and experiences to demonstrate this to her clients.
