About Me

I'm going to start by saying you will probably never find a alone picture of myself without that little adorable toddler next to me. With that being said, hi, my name is Julia! I am a native from Sao Paulo, Brazil living in the frigid state of Michigan. 

I’ve been in the United States for ten years now, which seems unreal. I came as a student athlete with a scholarship to play tennis at school in south Georgia, earning a bachelors in Exercise Science. After school I moved to Atlanta, GA where I was a tennis coach and that’s where I met my husband Derek.

 

I have always been very active, and exercising has always been a huge part of my life. I try to eat as healthy as I can; however, like many of us I struggle with food and I am always trying to find different takes on healthy eating and have a better relationship with food.

I am a certified personal trainer (ACSM) at a local gym, and I love the satisfaction I get with my client’s results, their passion for exercise and discovering new ways to lead a healthy lifestyle. Last year after I had my daughter Holly (she is 18 months now) I got into running and did my first half marathon. I plan on doing a few races this year and I always try to motivate somebody to join me on my running journey! I currently teach spin, zumba, pilates and silver sneakers.
