I have had many teachers whose stories have changed mine. I want to help you change yours.

To take the first step in committing to change message me at drjulieangel@gmail.com

Start making the changes you want in your quality of balance, mobility and strength so you can feel more confident,

Here’s why you should do it NOW

How Results Happen

Everything is interconnected. You need all of the following pieces in place.

MOVEMENT SNACKS

You need your own individual movement culture that works for YOU and YOUR everyday life that feels joyful, accessible and in balance with your daily demands and responsibilities. That means that you are consistently moving in ways that make you feel good and can feel yourself becoming stronger and more connected in mind and body. And that nothing has been ‘lost’ as you age.

When you do this you won’t ever feel like you are “working out” or exhausted, you have a renewed sense of energy, confidence, connection and that you  can move through the world pain free , confident and at ease. This strategy is what will get you out of feeling you’ve plateaued and guilty about knowing what to do and yet not doing. Instead you will be emotionally and physically moving with ease and fun, reclaiming your strength, optimism and confidence as you age.

This is typically the FIRST THING we address in the 12 week RESET, because it’s what gets you letting go of tension and feeling stronger straight away.

By the way, here’s what one student had to say about establishing movemnet snacks into her incredibly busy schedule:

Teresa, " I would skip movement all together because I didn’t have movement practices already programmed out for myself (didn’t even know where to begin on that), and I figured I couldn’t really make a difference with short workouts. What could I accomplish with 10 minutes? This was de-motivating.

But, Julie’s training approach comes from a whole other movement philosophy that is backed by some pretty accomplished movement practitioners. Training sessions with fewer reps per set do make a difference. You don’t have to be sore to be effective. Ten minutes matters–and, no, it doesn’t have to be ten minutes of grueling high-knees. This has given me hope and a foundation on which to build and sustain my movement practice."

AGE POSITIVE & ADVENTURES

Where you put the mind the body follows. it's all connected!

It’s your responsibility to be strong to be useful and be the best version of you in life. Trust me, people need the best version of you and what you bring to the world. 

Once we identify what mental blocks and stories are playing out for you, we create strategies for microbrewery that with your new Movement Snacks and system... create UNBELIEVABLE lifestyle and emotional changes!

By the way...nothing builds your confidence like saying consistent with moving and reframing how we feel about ourselves when we complete the goals we've set.

Here’s what one student experienced after 4 weeks into the programme, 

Rachel,

"1.  I'm definitely more confident physically, very comfortable being on the floor from all the time I've spent there :-) and getting up and down!

2.  My sleep has improved, it's uncommon now for me to get up during the night, even to use the bathroom - and I used to do that literally every night. 

3.  I feel more confident in my body, and no longer feel like being physically able and physically fit is an uncertainty or unattainable for me.    

From the husband:

1.  Noted the difference in sleeping, that's the biggest change noticeable to him, it was a big concern for him

2.  He's noticed I eat differently, and eat more - which he likes.

3.  He feels like my sex drive improved lol - and he's not upset about it. "

Parkour and Play

Discovering how to overcome obstacles and see the world as a playground adds more value to your health and fitness completely changes the game when it comes to keeping motivated, never getting bored and always seeing opportunities to move.

This is key to enjoying how you move and really feeling free. Once you’ve authentically found your way of moving, you will get off the over under training roller coaster...permanently. 

Wondering what happens when you finally jump off the over under training roller coaster? Here’s one 12 week RESET experience!

"When I first met Julie, by most people’s standards, I was fit but I didn’t feel great.  There’s a lot of exercise history in my body – body building, marathons, triathlons including an Ironman, dance (I even taught salsa for a brief while), and climbing but going into the menopause highlighted some areas of overtraining and weakness in my body  Most significantly, my left knee was unhappy from years of linear movement from all of the running and cycling.  An MRI and a ‘top sports physio’ indicated that I’d have to wear a brace when exercising and that I might even need surgery one day.   Additionally, my body just felt disconnected as if my limbs just weren’t speaking to each other – everything felt a bit disjointed.

Three months later and I can’t believe the difference.   My knee pain has drastically improved and I’ve ditched the brace.   My body feels connected and movement feels fluid.  My climbing (including trees!) is going from strength to strength and I’m now hanging out in the bouldering caves with dudes half my age!   I feel a regained sense of confidence not just in my body but in myself in general.  I was pretty unhappy and stressed at the start of the programme.  We were coming to the end of the pandemic and I was still reeling from some big life events.  The unique style of movement snacks seemed to bring play and joy back into my body and it made me slow down and become more conscious and mindful.  At first, I hated slowing down and realised just how revved up I’d become over recent years but eventually I started enjoying taking my time, practicing the moves, enjoying the small victories and feeling the changes in my body.  Oh…and an added bonus – I’m losing belly fat even though I seem to be eating more and exercising less ferociously.  I’m excited to continue the journey – thank you Julie!’

Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan,

Strong Resting for those strong willed and strong women that want to find balance and have movement for life both through and after menopause.

Not everyone wants their fitness or health coaching business to be just for a race or event. That’s totally fine! Movement is for life!

Here’s how this impacted one 12 week RESET client…

"Shortly afterwards, I did Julie’s 5 Day Reset Challenge week, which was eye opening to show me the reality of where I was in my fitness right now, from a BOLT score in the single digits, to single leg balance of a few seconds each side, these were all things I knew I should and COULD improve.I am a Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapist with 30+ years of experience and numerous other strength and fitness certifications (kettle bells, MovNat, etc), so I know plenty of exercises to choose from, but wasn’t honest with myself about what I really needed. So I had kept on doing my favorites and nothing to fill in the gaps . What I needed was Julie’s experience to make me “360 strong “, as she calls it.  Fill in the gaps, do stuff that is “Simple, not easy”, play, and rest more.

After the Challenge week, I was all in! For me, and compared to what I was doing on my own before working with Julie, this program was about “Do less, Get stronger. Eat more, be happy “.

In the first few days of doing Julie’s  12 Week Reclaim Your Physical Strength program, I was already feeling more rested, and from her feedback on my food log, had more energy since I was eating to fuel my body. I began eating first thing in the morning, before coffee, and eventually even tapered off of coffee without noticing it’s absence. This wasn’t necessarily a goal of mine, but since i didn’t drink coffee at all till I was 40, I didn’t like that I had grown more dependent on it in the past few years.The movement sessions were challenging because Julie had picked the right moves to work on the gaps in my strength and stability. She was always responsive to my feedback, and even though certain moves were “hard” in the moment, overall I was feeling stronger and more rested because there is always a midweek active recovery day, and the weekends are more play based activities.

Beyond being “just” another Coach to make you stronger, the real beauty of her course is in the additional videos that come each week, on mindset, eating, breathing and different movements. After a period of nearly 10 years of repeated losses in my life, the breathing and mindset parts were just what I needed to compliment the movements. I have completely changed my breathing pattern , notice immediately if I begin to breathe through my mouth, and can easily carry my 45# elderly dog up the stairs to bed at night without becoming winded. I find myself thinking back to the mindset videos when life gets messy and chaotic, and in my communications with others. Within 2-3 weeks of beginning with Julie, my spouse commented that I was much less tense, and happy much more of the day. On the physical side, my L wrist, which had been injured and severely limited for months, can now do extended periods of weight bearing on all fours, gripping and hanging without any problems. I am easily doing movements that left me drained during the initial 5 day Challenge week. My sleep has also improved dramatically, and I wake on my own, without an alarm, rested and ready to see what the day brings.

The comprehensive nature of Julie’s coaching has truly been transformative for me, and I can’t wait to see what all I’m capable of with her help!"
