Spring is a natural time to stop and identify what we want to clean and clear out in order to lighten our load. With kindness and clear seeing, we can assess which health habits are supporting us and which we’ve lost connection with. How's your energy? Sense of well-being? Ability to be resilient? Daily Digestion? Sleep quality? Overall vitality? When you look back on the last year and even the last few months of 2021, have you nourished and supported yourself in the ways you’ve wanted to?
To be honest, even though we been trying to do the best we can, there’s still a lot of struggle and dis-ease around how to care for and nourish ourselves well. This pandemic year has been and continues to be extremely difficult for so many reasons big and small, leaving many of us struggling with how we’re feeling in our bodies. We’re stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, and depleted, and may feel sub-par and unbalanced. The good news is that now is always the perfect time to reset, start again, and make different choices. Nourishing your body with whole foods and incorporating some simple wellness practices into your daily routine are the first steps you can take to feeling more balanced and vibrant.
Embarking on this kind of reset alone, though, is rarely successful. So, let’s gather with others who have these very same goals of feeling aligned and balanced and forge a healthier path together. I invite you to join me for 14 days of living whole and eating well!
Throughout the 14 days, we’ll explore these areas in our lives:
FOOD: eat whole, simple, and supportive foods in a balanced way
PRESENCE: gather your attention and practice mindfulness
MOVEMENT: move and sweat daily
RITUAL: establish a morning routine
NOISE: set boundaries around news, social media, and screen time
LOVE: make time for your friends, family, pets, and community
OUTSIDE: enjoy fresh air and nature when it’s safe
CHALLENGE: choose something to move you out of your comfort zone often
SELF-CARE: replenish and restore yourself daily
GIVE: expand your perspective and care for others in big and small ways
PLEASE note: This program is not about deprivation or an attempt at starvation, but instead will give you practice eating and living well in order to have more energy and feel better well beyond the 14 days. It’s a detoxifying experience for not only our physical bodies but also our busy lives, clouded minds, and distracted spirits. My hope is that participants near and far restore their physical and emotional bodies by reprioritizing the time spent taking care of themselves.
Eating Plan:
We’ll eat plants in abundance, limit animal protein (eggs and some mindfully chosen meat OK), and remove gluten, dairy, highly processed foods, excess caffeine, alcohol, and sugar.
The Living Whole & Eating Well Program includes:
An opening & closing Zoom Meeting
A 20-minute one-on-one coaching call with me (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist & wellness coach) to share current challenges and intentions for the 14 days
A daily food plan that can be strictly or loosely followed (a blend of mostly seasonal, plant-based, and anti-inflammatory foods)
Simple, delicious, and easy-to-prepare recipes
Instructions for mindful routines and wellness rituals
Daily emails with encouragement, motivation, and accountability
Tools & recipes for cravings
A supportive community
Add-on discounted yoga sessions and nutrition and wellness coaching**

Testimonials
“The wellness program that Julie runs really had a very positive impact on my day-to-day life. Not just during the 2 weeks but continuing on well after the program had finished. The changes I managed to fulfill in the 2 weeks are now integrated into my way of life. Julie is a wonderful woman, a great listener, who gives you lots of encouragement and positivity each day on the program and beyond. I would highly recommend this wellness retreat to anyone who would like to make manageable positive changes to their daily routine and nutrition, and who would like to do it with a small international group!”
“I loved feeling incredibly connected to myself and hence more connected to my every day - my children, my husband, my intentions at work. The extra time I gave myself in the morning became invaluable. I’ve already recommended this cleanse to a bunch of friends!”
“I stopped sugar and caffeine and am surprised I’m not having any cravings. I’m eating a lot more vegetables and feeling great!”
“I found it so helpful to have the meal plan and recipes. It just gave me a really solid foundation to work from. I also really enjoyed the daily emails. They helped keep me focused on what I had committed to for the 10 days.”
“My favorite part was that I wasn’t hungry between meals, and I even lost a few pounds.”
“The recipes were great and easy to follow. I tried things I don’t eat on a regular basis but realized I actually love. So glad to be inspired by how I feed myself and my family, and I can’t wait to join the next time!”
