ABOUT

Hi, I'm Julie, the owner of Blooming with Balance.

I created Blooming with Balance in 2015, after I had my own healing journey. I spent years feeling unhealthy, scared, scattered, anxious, and empty on the inside and did not understand why. My feelings not only affected my body, mind, and spirit, but my loved ones as well. I wanted to feel better, but I did not know where to begin. Finally, after years of researching and self-healing, I found the answers for which I had been searching for. It was then, I found my true path and purpose. I wanted to share my knowledge and passion with others. I wanted to help women heal, and that is how Blooming with Balance was born.

Hi, I'm Julie, the owner of Blooming with Balance.

In 2015, Blooming with Balance came to life as the result of my own transformative journey. For years, I grappled with feelings of unease, anxiety, and emptiness that left me feeling disconnected from myself. I was determined to find a way to feel better. After countless hours of research and dedicated self-healing, I uncovered the answers I had been seeking all along. This revelation not only marked a turning point in my life but also revealed my true calling and purpose. It was then that I realized I wanted to share my newfound knowledge and passion with others, particularly women in need of healing. Blooming with Balance was born out of this desire to support and empower others on their journeys toward wellness and self-discovery.

My Healing Journey

My healing journey first led me to become a yoga teacher. I completed a 500-YTT program at The Zen Yoga Studio & Healing Arts Center in Cleveland. It was then that my love for journaling, meditation, and energy work began.

I have always had a passion for helping people feel better, whether it be physically or emotionally. We all need support and guidance at some point in our lives, and it was my time to receive it. That's when I felt the pull to learn more about my energy and its ties to my emotions, which led me to the path of Reiki.

Since I had already cut out or reduced most of the toxins in my life, I continued that journey to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. There I became a Nutritional Health Coach. I realized that proper nutrition plays a very important part in supporting healing.

My journey took a transformative turn when my husband expressed his desire to lose 15 lbs. Delving into research, I discovered a natural, science-based solution for weight loss. Witnessing our success—he lost 17 lbs. and I 9 lbs. in just 5 weeks—inspired me. Fueled by this experience, I pursued training as a Weight Loss Coach with The Institute for Functional Medicine.

I am dedicated to helping my clients create their healthiest and happiest lives. I offer personalized coaching tailored to your unique needs and goals. My energetic insight will guide you in all areas of your life. I am excited to work with you on your health journey and provide you with the tools, guidance, and support you need to succeed.

A 1-minute Story

“And when the flower was ready to awaken, it felt the tendrils of weeds wrapped around her. They plugged in to her, and she believed they gave her the power to live. Over time, she felt the grooves of the weeds that wrapped around her in her flesh and wished to be rid of them. One day she took one of her own thorns and cut one weed. Falling to the ground, immediately she felt drained, and so she took the weed and wrapped it around herself again.

~*~

For many years, the flower stayed half awake and half asleep. Never blooming. She would cut the weeds, only to wrap them to her once again. Every time she would attempt to open, when her petals released, she felt the intensity of the sun’s rays beating on her, and she closed.

~*~

Over time, she grew closer to death, and so did the weeds around her.

One dark day, with her stem bent and wilted and her leaves draped to the ground, a great thunderstorm poured rain and washed many of the dying weeds away.

“This is it.” The flower said to herself. “No more weeds to keep me in place.” She surely thought that she would die.

~*~

When a gentle sun rose the next morning, the flower noticed her roots. They felt full and connected with water. Nourishment ran up her stem, through her leaves, and into her hidden petals. The water gently healed her wounds from the weeds, and the pain was much less. She couldn’t believe that she was still alive.

And with the new life that had been raised up in her, and the loss of the weeds that had bound her, she straightened her stem, faced her head toward the light, and bloomed.”
