I have been a Registered Nurse for 34 years. During that time I have practiced at the bedside in Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine, and on the trauma team. I have been involved in education for the last 20 years beginning with teaching at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University Dental School to teaching in the Health Sciences department at Brigham Young University-Idaho. I have extensive experience in curriculum writing and program development. I developed several statewide health care programs for the Commonwealth of Virginia working with the Governor’s office. I built the medical specialties programs for the Chesterfield Technical College in Chesterfield Virginia.

I am a Certified Personal Trainer, a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and a Therapeutic Nutrition Practitioner through the Institute of Functional Medicine and a Fitness Nutrition Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I developed the highly successful MoreEnergy health program. My main focus is to provide nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle education to those who want to take control of their disease risks and processes to live a healthier, more productive life.

I love trying new things, learning everything about everything, and being outdoors and active. Most of all, I love my husband and our 7 kids, spouses and grandkids!

I grew up an Air Force brat and lived all over the world. I studied Youth Leadership and Recreation Management at BYU-Idaho, Utah, and Hawaii. I love Family time. I enjoy playing basketball, golf, and soccer. I love traveling, exploring, and learning. I love eating great food with people I love and conversation that inspires.

I have been married for 37 years. We have 7 amazing kids and 8 grandlittles that light up our home. We have lived in Pleasant Grove since 1992 and I have been involved in the city since 2010. I have served on the Planning Commission 4 years and now as a City Councilor since 2014. I love being involved. My husband and I have owned Design Spectrum since 1991. My happiest moments are when I have the opportunity to lift and inspire. I want everyone to have MoreEnergy, enabling them to accomplish what they envision.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise and Wellness from Brigham Young University because I want to help others achieve their health goals and reach their fullest potential. I am a Certified Health and Wellness Coach through Wellcoaches and currently becoming a certified in Women’s Health through Girls Gone Strong. When I am not working or coaching, you can find me hiking, water skiing, and trying a new hobby. Because I know a healthy lifestyle is all about balance, I also love eating (especially things that are cooked by other people) and baking. I love taking traditional recipes and transitioning them into healthy, great tasting meals that fuel my days. My husband and I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Together we love to travel, bake sourdough bread and play pickle ball.

I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Community Health with an emphasis in Health Education at Utah Valley University. I hold certifications in Personal Training, Health Coaching & Nutrition Coaching.

As a young athlete with a natural passion for health, and a type A personality, I struggled with a number of eating disorders in my teens. I spent years applying health information poorly which compromised my mental, gut and hormonal health. Now, through personal experience and professional training my goal is to help people who are confused about their health reach their goals the right way! I love working with athletes: young or old, actively competing in sports or trying to stay fit for a new goal.

My hobbies include weight training, outdoor walks, wakesurfing at Lake Powell, indoor soccer, dancing with my three daughters, receiving memes from my husband, and watching long health podcasts on Youtube.

My family spent the last couple of years living in South Florida but are excited to be closer to family, the mountains and four seasons.

Julie is a Health and Well-Being Coach. She graduated with a BA in Communications from the University of Utah and is an AFPA certified Health & Wellness Coach. She is married to the man of her dreams and they have 5 children. She’s a country girl at heart.

Her favorite part of working at MoreEnergy is being able to help people believe in themselves, to see their value and create the life and health they want. She enjoys teaching them what she has learned and guiding them in their journey as they define and find success!

In her free time, she loves Adventure! Rock climbing, hiking, canyoneering, water skiing, snow skiing, paddle boarding (really, anything in water), 4 wheeling, horseback riding, being in the mountains, Moab, exploring new areas and learning about new cultures-all with her family.

Her journey to health has been an amazing, hard, long journey. Through it, she has learned to find success by challenging herself with something she struggles with. For example, she struggled hiking uphill. To help with this, she decided she wanted to be able to run up and down 20 flights of stairs without resting. Now, hills aren’t such a big deal. Success!
