Her entrepreneurial journey was inspired by her Grandfather who ran a small store in rural Massachusetts.
In high school and beyond she worked for him, and was always impressed by the amount of dedication and diligence running a business entailed…but also how much freedom you can have over your day, your environment, and even your customers.
“My dream is to continue to increase my healthspan and lifespan naturally, and to help others do the same. I believe when we are aligned with our purpose, we are healthier and happier and that translates into how we look and feel. After my own healthcare journey, where I was dismissed by doctors for years, I decided to empower others with the data to validate their intuition that something is wrong.”
Julie’s Healthcare Journey
Starting in 2017, Julie experienced periods that were so heavy she called them “crime scene periods.”
She went to many doctors over the years and was told this was normal for her age (42), and that she was in perimenopause.
For years she suffered.
She gained weight, became dangerously anemic, lost hair on her head, grew hair in all the wrong places, and was so fatigued she could hardly get up in the mornings to walk her dog.
On March 31. 2022 she had a doctor’s appointment in which a family of fibroids was discovered on an ultrasound. One of them was actively trying to birth itself. Her cervix was dilated and she was hemorrhaging.
But that was not the only issue: she has dozens of fibroids, one that was 16cm in size (about the size of a watermelon).
She was asked to sign paperwork for an emergency hysterectomy, and she refused, asking her surgeon if there was any other surgery that could save her life and her uterus.
She ended up with a myomectomy that day to remove just the one fibroid that was causing massive bleeding.
For 6 months she attempted to holistically remove the watermelon-sized fibroid, and while she was able to drastically reduce its size through acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Vitamin D supplements and avoiding dairy, she still underwent an abdominal Myomectomy in July 2024.
2 Myomectomies within one year after being told nothing was wrong.
Both surgeries–and years of suffering–would have been avoided had she known about the fibroids. Advanced labwork would have revealed the underlying problems and saved her from all of it. After her surgeries, Julie started actively “biohacking” to reduce her biological age and be the healthiest she had ever been.
Small Steps to Live Your Best Life
Julie believes that when you take a step in the right direction–no matter how small–you start a chain reaction that propels you forward.
When working with Julie, she will help you find your greatest strengths and believe in yourself.
Julie currently resides in Boston where she and her 14-year-old Jack Russel can be found walking the Commonwealth Mall in the Back Bay, or hiking in the mountains.
Her goal with Rêve Health is to bring the programs and products to as many people as possible, so they can improve their quality of life holistically.
