Perspectives Coaching

Julia is an inspiration to everyone! She is caring and empathetic and when her hand extends out, it is with her heart! I have had the pleasure and honor to work with Julia in group settings and also one on one. She truly listens to your soul and can help to find your true north. ~Officer Matt

I have great experiences working with Julia. She has a very intuitive personality to listen and understand what people are trying to say. Empathy is important for people to feel comfortable with a life coach and Julia has an abundant amount of empathy and calm that people need. As I am going through building my own business, Julia has given me some great perspectives for how deal with the stresses and pressures that come with a new business. Thank you!

Had my first ever life coaching session last week. I have always been a Type A personality, always striving to learn and grow in both my career and personal life. I had gotten to a place where I felt completely overwhelmed, over-committed and was spinning. Everything seemed to be a priority and of equal weight. I met with Julia in the hopes of getting an outside perspective and help in prioritizing my long list of what I wanted to accomplish. She asked lots of questions that resulted in tremendous ideas for time management and organization. In the end, I had created a list of action items that helped me focus my energy on what I valued most. But that wasn’t the best part… I realized the way I was talking to myself and how hard I was on myself, causing me to feel that I constantly had to do more and be better. It was eye-opening and something that I had never even noticed. I can honestly say, that I am a much better friend to myself as the result of one coaching session. I am learning to silence my inner-critic and went from feeling pressured, exhausted and non-productive to happily productive.

Coach Julia and I have know each other for a long time, all the way back to elementary school. I'm familiar with the term "Life Coach" but did not know much about it until Julia and I were speaking about her new venture. Julia had some very thoughtful and realistic ideas about how I might start downsizing my primary business, be able to relocate sooner to the "retirement" property my husband and I have, and still receive income in an area related to my underlying skill set. She expanded on my thought of being an adjunct professor at a local community college and encouraged me to propose a community-based course. I submitted my idea for a survey of current state and federal law topics and it was accepted. I start teaching March 31, once a week for 8 weeks. Without Julia's strategic focus and encouragement, I probably would not have made the leap as soon as I did. Now looking forward to down-sizing my law practice to mostly local clients, living almost full-time in lovely, quiet Sierra community with an outlet for my creative energy and possibility of continuing a small client base. She also referred me to a great financial planner who crunched the numbers and assured me that my husband and I could retire comfortably and not end up in the poor house. Thanks, Julia!

My experience in coaching with Julia was extremely effective. She is consistently compassionate, understanding, and helpful. She focuses on the situation and guides you to discovery without telling you what to do or judging you. Julia shows you how to look at and see things in your life in an entirely new way. She is extremely knowledgeable, has extensive skills to help you sort through issues and gain a new perspective.

Thanks to Julia's insight, guidance, and support my perspective on the situation is better and healthier now. She is extremely effective in accomplishing the goals of coaching. I highly recommend coaching with Julia.
