About Lift with Jules
My Story
Hey, I'm Julie!
Navigating fitness and training through pregnancy and postpartum is tough. As a previous college athlete, runner, and cross fitter, I was overwhelmed moving forward with all the unknowns. I had questions like: What symptoms do I look for? How do I modify workouts? What am I supposed to do? What am I NOT supposed to do? How do I feel like myself again? Am I going to lose my fitness? Where do I even start!
That's why I decided to invest in the education and resources to confidently move forward with training. I got certified as a Pregnancy + Postpartum Athletic Coach, and have been applying the techniques to my training background and current programming.
My goal is to help other moms safely and effectively navigate strength training through motherhood. Whether you're new to strength training or want help adjusting your workouts, I'd love to meet you!
How It Works
Work with me in 3 easy steps:
Connect
Shoot me a text or an email! Then I'll have you fill out an intake form that will help me get a better understanding of your history and goals.
Initial Assessment
Our first session will be at my home gym where we’ll walk through some basic movements, assess for any symptoms, and talk through your goals and how we can work together to accomplish them.
Game Plan
I’ll write up a specific strength training routine for you to follow, or give you adjustments to make to your own training. Then we can schedule follow up sessions as needed!

Real Stories
What real mom's are saying about Lift with Jules:
Ines' Strength Journey
"I have love having Julie as my personal trainer! I am pregnant with my 4th baby and have had all my kids within 4 years but didn’t realize how much Julie’s workouts have helped me and my pelvic floor!! She works on your foundation and makes sure you have the proper form and breathing techniques. She explains the workouts very well and makes a plan for you and is available for any questions. She is able to meet me where I am at. I highly recommend her!!"
Cassie's Symptom Improvement
“I am on my 5th pregnancy and sciatica has been consistently my hardest pregnancy symptom. Julie has been so helpful giving me exercises and stretches that have helped my strength and mobility so much. I initially asked her for help because I was in so much pain I could hardly walk. With her guidance though I’ve now been able to do normal activities with much less pain and my ability to be comfortable while sleeping has also improved.”
Mallory's Reset
"...What stands out most is her intentional programming. It’s safe, purposeful, and tailored to meet you exactly where you are, with no pressure to rush to achieve your goals but instead encouragement to move in a way that honors your body, your recovery, and your goals!"
