Julie was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia over 20 years ago. While she worked very hard over the years on ways to improve her life with a chronic illness, it wasn’t until she found the IFCI that she learned all the different treatment options, understood why her body was feeling the way it was, and what would help. Now, after training this year to become a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach, she is still feeling great and has been able to help others.

As a Fibromyalgia Coach, Julie’s passion is to share her experience and knowledge to help others like herself. Her favorite roles in life have been Wife, Mother and Gramma, she is excited to add Coach to that list, and help others like herself take control of their symptoms and live the life they once dreamed of.
