Take your mental game to the next level.

Teaching athletes, coaches, and teams to elevate their performance, team culture, and life outside sport through mental skills coaching.

Hi, I’m Julie!

I’m a mental performance coach with a background in strength and conditioning and social work. I bring over 15 years of experience in youth development, holistic health curriculum design, and coaching at the intersection of mental skills and sport performance.

I founded The Other 23 Hours Coaching to teach athletes and their support systems (i.e. coaches, parents, and staff) the mental skills to thrive in sport and in life. My mission is to be the mentor that I needed growing up; helping athletes navigate the mental challenges and stress of sport participation, while also being an advocate for social change in youth and women’s sports.

I know that it’s not about just the physical side of sport- we need to ensure we’re training the mental side with as much dedication and intention. And when you do that, suddenly your performance on competition day packs an extra punch.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from The University of Denver and my Bachelor’s in Sociology from The University of Hartford. I am a Certified Mental Performance Mastery Coach, Pain-Free Performance Specialist, Sleep, Stress Management and Recovery Coach, and an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer.

Outside of work, you can catch me at an Angel City Football Club game, hiking a mountain while listening to a women’s soccer podcast, sipping on strong coffee, swinging a kettlebell, or taking a rest day with my black lab, Millie.

  • “Julie is an exceptional coach. I came to her with zero strength training experience but she created a welcoming environment and continuously works to make sure I feel comfortable and safe during our training sessions. She really takes a holistic approach - she incorporates nutrition, stress reduction, and recovery in her programming. Since working with Julie, I look better, I feel stronger, and I think differently about my health and wellness. And as an added bonus - Julie and her wife host a podcast, The Other 23 Hours, that expands on/ reinforces everything we talk about in our training sessions! Hands down the best investment I've made in myself. Truly grateful I've had the opportunity to work with Julie.”

  • “Julie totally understood where I was coming from and she was happy to work with me to meet my particular set of goals. Julie's background in social work combined with her training expertise gives her the depth of understanding needed to serve clients coming from different backgrounds/life experiences/specific needs.

    Julie is everything you would want in a trainer. She is encouraging, kind, non-judgmental, supportive, and fun to be around. Her workouts are expertly crafted to suit you; they are challenging but doable, and Julie has a wealth of modifications available to help strengthen form. Her space is clean and inviting, and equipped with all the workout things one could need. But the best part about Julie is that her care for you extends far outside of the training session - she wants to know how the rest of your life is going too. She asks about sleep, stress, hydration, mood - all of the behind-the-scenes things that impact a workout. Julie cares about your goals, but more importantly, she cares about you as a person and your overall wellbeing.

    With Julie's support, I've never felt stronger, more mobile, or more confident in my body. Exercise is feeling more intuitive and fun than it has ever been for me. Lastly, I feel like I have someone in my life who is cheering me on about all the things, not just fitness.

    Julie is truly an amazing human being and it has been my honor and pleasure to spend time with her. I'm excited for all of the work we will continue to do together!”

  • “I've had various trainers throughout my life but no one compares to Julie. This is the first time I've found a trainer that takes a holistic approach to fitness. She really focuses on all aspects of your health and helps you make the connections between them as well. I've only been a client for 3 weeks but the changes in my strength, self-talk, eating habits and confidence are substantial and tangible. I can honestly say my life has changed for the better since meeting her and I can't wait to see what the future brings. If you've been wanting to feel wholly better in many small and big ways, don't sleep on Julie.”

  • “Julie is an amazing and down to earth fitness instructor.

    She is really articulate and does an incredible job of building a fitness program to meet her clients goals.

    Julie's wealth of experience in the fitness industry allows her to share her knowledge with her trainees on how to effectively reach their goals while maintaining a healthy and balance lifestyle outside of the gym. She is definitely not your average personal trainer that has a "one-size fits all" approach. I have learned alot from my three months of training with Julie. I highly recommend Julie as a personal trainer!”

    —David C.

  • “Can't recommend Coach Julie enough! I started working with her when I was fed up with some past injuries that left me with chronic pain. She utilizes her extensive knowledge and experience to create a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. Julie meets you where you are at, but will also push you and challenge you to move out of your comfort zone when you're ready. I appreciate her holistic approach to fitness, recovery, mental health and how much what understanding what goes on outside the gym is a huge factor to any fitness goal.”
