Julia, Founder

Hi, I’m Julia, a certified life coach (ACC ICF) and mentor for successful women.

People who know me always say that I’m a role model for living a balanced and happy life, while still being a so-called successful woman. However, my journey to this point was filled with challenges. That's why I'm now passionate about promoting self-awareness and a values-oriented approach to help women find their balance, harmony, and build a fulfilling life without feeling overwhelmed or anxious about achievements.

You can read key facts about my credibility and experience below to decide if my personality suits you (and for an individual coaching this match very important).

My DMs are always open, so feel free to reach out and say hello! Let's embark on your journey to a balanced life together!

Gratefully, Julia
