Mapping
Intensive
Stop living a life that looks good on paper but makes your throat tighten when someone asks "So, how are things going?"
Discover what your soul has been trying to tell you and where it's pointing you next
You're an ambitious woman who has built the career, reputation, and life that looks aspirational on paper.
People tell you all the time how much they admire your courage and leadership.
And for a long time, it has felt good.
But now your changing body and deepening heart are sending signals you can't ignore.
There’s a restlessness and a quiet longing.
There’s a knowing that whispers and asks – This isn't it anymore.
You haven’t quite spoken that whisper out loud to many people, because you’re afraid of what will happen if you do.
Your body tells you it's tired even though you’re eating enough protein to fuel a small army, working out in a way that’s kind to your system, lifting weights, getting bodywork when you can.
Your Soul tells you there's more – even though you’ve worked so hard to be grateful for all you’ve built – a beautiful career, a thriving business, a reputation.
But when you try to name what that "more" is? Your throat tightens as you try to name it.
The clarity vanishes, which surprises you – because normally you’re the kind of woman who names what she wants and then makes it happen.
Then the doubt creeps in - a pit in your stomach, a fluttering in your chest...
Looping thoughts take over that you can't journal fast enough -
-
If I really were to go after what I want right now – What would happen?
-
What if I blow everything up? What if I hurt the people who matter to me?
-
What if I'm just being dramatic?
You try to quiet the noise. You tell yourself that you just need to get through this busy season and then you can tap in, refocus, and get clear.
You've tried everything to quiet the voice that says this isn't it...
The good news? That voice and restlessness you feel isn't a flaw. It's a clue.
It's a clue that the tools that got you here - the same ones that helped you build that life and career that you once prayed for ...
...are now exactly what is holding you back.
They got you through your last chapter.
But they were never designed to set you free into the next chapter of your story.
They were designed to keep you calm, compliant, and productive inside a life that no longer fits.
But that can feel so disorienting and constraining, right? Who are you supposed to believe?
Ooof. Friend. I feel this in my bones. I have been there.
It can definitely feel disorienting to be in this spot.
Especially when you've become accustomed to feeling clear about where you're going.
Here’s what I want you to know –
Those signals, nudges, and disorienting questions don’t mean you’re doing something wrong.
They’re a clue pointing you toward what's next - the story you're meant to tell.
This disorientation has a name around here — and it’s time we call it what it is.
I call this the Conformity Corset.
It got you this far and was helpful in so many ways.
But now it's just an outdated map, and you need a new one.
That inner nudge can feel so unsettling. You are pulling out all the stops to feel more grounded and clear:
👉 Therapy and breathwork to keep your system calm
👉 Retreats and vision boards to manifest what's next
👉 Functional med and supplements to stay optimized
👉 A workout routine that feels fresh and inspiring
👉 Con ed and certifications for new inspiration
👉 Coaching & mentoring to grow your business
And yet, you still haven't been able to move the needle into what's next - either because you aren't quite sure where you're going or you fear what you'd burn down to get there.
Any of that sound familiar?
I hear you. I get it.
I've walked this road,
and I know the way through
👋Hi! I'm Julie. I'm so glad you're here.
I know that perfect-on-paper life and career you've been squeezing yourself into, because I built the exact same one, and wore it like a Conformity Corset for nearly 3 decades.
And I've not only drawn my own map from chapter to chapter, but I've helped thousands of women - women who were once right where you are - to draw theirs and reorient to what's next.
I also get that for you, being in this place may feel like a really big, voice-shaky, hands trembling kind of moment. Which is exactly why I created this session.
Because I've been in this spot before too - hearing the voice of "this isn't it..." and slowing down, reorienting, and recalibrating toward what's next.
For a long time, life, or my health, or my work forced me to slow down. Maybe that's happening to you now - a change in your family, your health, your work, or your interests.
But that wasn't always my story. Especially as an ambitious, driven woman with an athlete's soul.
If you’ve always been the driven one, the capable one who keeps moving — you might recognize this.
I once poured every ounce of my energy into being a NCAA Division 1 swimmer.
Maybe your arena looked different — but you know what it’s like to give everything to become excellent at something.
For me, a career ending injury forced me to slow down and reorient.
So I did what I thought I needed to do. I poured $200,000 and my whole heart into becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy, along with landing international speaking events, teaching gigs, and a mile long resume of credentials and certifications.
For a time, it did feel like this was “it.”
But then cancer and a very toxic workplace forced me to slow down and re-draw the next map. Again.
Then I poured a decade of my life into building a seven-figure coaching business, working from anywhere and serving women from all over the world.
I had (and still have) a great marriage, a beautiful home, and the ideal dog mom life.
I stayed active, cared for my body, mind, and spirit, developed beautiful hobbies to connect me to the earth, movement, and creativity.
On paper, I was doing everything exactly as “they” say you should. It looked like I'd "made it."
But if you're like me in that moment - facing a life that you've worked so hard to build -
Underneath it all something in your body might be whispering “No, this is still not it. You’re meant for more.”
Maybe like me, you've tried to quiet that voice. Maybe you've thought it couldn't possibly be true. People tell you how much they wish they have what you've created.
Sound familiar?
If you're like me, no matter how much you try and quiet the voice, your Soul and body keep nudging you
-
There's the anxiety that takes daily breathwork, medication, supplements, therapy to keep quiet
-
There 's the mystery hormone imbalances that don't match how diligently you are caring for yourself
-
There are nights you sit scrolling your phone – simultaneously feeling an urge to do more to grow your business, and another quieter, gentler voice wondering, "How much longer can I keep this up?"
Any of that ring a bell?
If you're like me, you may have thought the answer was another business pivot or coach. Or maybe another credential or course to keep your work relevant in an ever-changing online space.
Or maybe you thought you needed more self care, which might look like piling on other hobbies, getting outside, taking up art or creative ventures, learning to play an instrument, traveling more.
Or maybe you've become a student of functional medicine, trying protocol after protocol to solve what's unsettled on the inside by optimizing everything on the outside.
I’m here to tell you – I'm with you. And you and I both know that all of those things aren’t NOT helpful.
But sometimes the more we try to silence the voice, the louder it becomes, right?
This is the moment many women like you and I arrive at — realizing the next step isn’t pushing harder, but slowing down, taking a look at the map, and drawing a new one.
Something tells me you sense that what you need is to stop racing to find answers and solutions … and instead start listening to and telling the truth. You probably sense you need to
-
Stop trying to figure it out alone in your journal
-
Stop trying to quiet your intuition in solo meditations with the Insight Timer app
-
Stop ONLY doing therapy to figure out which trauma got you into this mess
No, if you've made it here, you probably sense (like I did) that you to sit with someone else - someone who has been there and walked the path you are embarking on
Someone who can hold the whole of you while you draw the map of who you are becoming and what this inner longing is pointing you towards.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I've been there, seeking the same support that you are
And now, I'm so overjoyed to guide women like you through the same passage.
If you are ready to map out a life and career that feels as good in your body as it looks on paper, it would be an honor of a lifetime to draw this map with you.
"When Julie asked me what brings me the most joy in my life I couldn't answer. It was real awkward and there was a long silence. I had lost myself in my career. Flash forward through a lot of tears and triumphs—and this conversation was seriously life changing. I wake up excited and energized by the work I do rather than dreading it."
— Kayla, Professional Tennis Physio and Dog Mom
"Before this session, I was working 60-hour weeks just to make my boss happy. I lost my sh*t on my son over a spilled cocktail. Now, for the first time in my life, I have chosen me. Doors are opening. This was by far more valuable than any certification I've ever taken—it's a life changer."
— Dawn, Nurse Practitioner and Boy Mom
Here's how we'll map your next chapter—together
Soul Story Mapping isn't a “10-step Checklist to Greatness” or rigid “Be your Best Self” protocol.
It's a relational process where you get to be fully seen, fully held, and fully honest about what's stirring inside of you – no matter how wild it may feel coming out of your mouth.
We'll use the WILD Guide to map the four layers of your life as it is now, and as you envision it becoming:
📍Wholeness — What does your body know that your mind is just catching up to? We'll name the longing that's been whispering — and separate what's truly yours from what you absorbed trying to be "good."
📍Interdependence — Where do you feel most like yourself in your close relationships, and where do you feel the need to edit or hide parts of who you are to keep the peace? We’ll uncover who shrinks you and who facilitates you becoming the most unapologetic and unedited version of you.
📍Livelihood — What does “being fully alive” actually look like in the way you live your days?
We’ll map what habits, rituals, and practices facilitate your aliveness and your ability to stay connected to yourself and others, and what feels like “good girl rules” that stifle you instead of fuel you.
📍Devotion — What is calling you forth professionally and in your community, and what is draining you? We will honor your work and contribution — mapping out where your soul is guiding you to serve others and what areas of your work no longer fit the person you're becoming.
You'll leave with clarity, direction, and a literal physical map you can return to whenever you need to re-center and anchor into the one voice that is the wisest of all – your own.
You can't do this alone —
And you're not supposed to
You've been taught that you need to find yourself by doing more things to optimize your health, checking more boxes to achieve what someone like you is supposed to achieve, spending more time working on your bad habits, your misaligned strategy, your limiting beliefs.
You've been taught to keep moving the target and striving for more within the same map you've always been living.
You’ve also been taught to be a strong, independent woman, and that finding direction is a cognitive puzzle you should solve on your own.
But uncovering who you’re meant to be and what you’re meant to do is – according to the intelligent design of your nervous system and soul – a relational process, not a solitary one.
Your Soul needs to be witnessed. Your deeper longings need to be held. Your truth needs somewhere safe to land and metabolize without the expectation that you rush to make it all happen right this instant.
That's what you've been missing. That's why you feel so off kilter and something feels off.
And that's what this session gives you.
"I respect Julie's work immensely; and refer clients, friends, and colleagues to her often because she's a rare combination of highly skilled and deeply compassionate.
She has the magic touch in her ability to relate with empathy, not condescension, with her clients.She inspires clients to live fully and autonomously in a way that's meaningful to them. "
—Jessica D, Women's Health & Functional Nutrition Industry Expert and Mom of 2
"Before this work, I was losing my temper at my kids and husband all the time, and constantly worried about making enough money in my business. I have taken leaps I was scared to take and revealed parts of myself I never knew were in there. I can honestly say this is the happiest I have been since I was a child, and it's spilling over into my family, which is what matters most.
— Shawna C, Physical Therapist, Business Owner, and Mom of 3

❌ Soul Story Mapping is NOT for you if ...
Being witnessed in your depths feels too vulnerable right now, and right now it feels best to work through this on your own.
Moving toward what you want feels like it would take too much out of you and right now you prefer to stay where you are.
Following someone else's proven path that doesn't quite fit you feels safer that trusting your own intuitive guidance.
You need to feel in control of the outcome and moving forward without a guarantee feels too hard right now.
Your focus needs to stay on everyone else right now; your desires and visions can wait for another season.
✅ Soul Story Mapping IS for you if ...
You’re resourced & ready to be seen in your depths and your heights by someone who is fully in your corner and is completely invested in your most unedited, fully alive life
You’re willing to give voice to what you really want even if it feels scary, you're not totally sure the specifics and logistics, and you're not sure you're ready to do anything with it yet
You’re done outsourcing your choices and desires to gurus, protocols, "good girl" rules, and other people’s opinions. You’re ready to trust what happens in your own body and Soul
You're open to letting clarity unfold at the pace that actually works for your system and honors all that you've built and created instead of rushing to completion for a quick payoff
There's more to your story and you're curious to uncover it. You can feel a new chapter stirring and you want to turn the page, even if it means letting go of chapters that are closing
"This coaching and mentorship I've received from Julie has helped me tremendously to be able to serve my clients holistically, but more
importantly, it has allowed me to do so without ignoring the demands going on in my everyday life, like staying healthy, being a great mom to two little girls, and staying connected with friends and family."
—Kari L, Physical Therapist, Swim Performance Expert & Mom of 2
"Before working with Julie, I cried each morning before work and couldn't travel on weekends or go out on weeknights. It was NERVEWRACKING to make the investment, but when I did I was immediately put at ease and now I see it was a NO BRAINER. I made double the income I was making, and now I can travel with my hubby when I want and spend tons of time with my friends, no questions asked.
— Julie V, Physical Therapist and Cat Mom
I see you. You're standing at a crossroads.
↔️ There's one, well-trodden path you already know: Keep forcing a story that no longer fits, hoping the longing for more will quiet on its own.
↔️ There's the other, untraveled path: Draw the map. Tell the truth. Let yourself be held while you figure out what's next.
And here’s what I want you to know – if you’re the kind of gal who sees direction and immediately feels she must take action, I get it. I’m wired that way too.
You can do that. But it's ok to pause the urgency just enough to slow down and draw the map. I won't pressure or rush you. And you don't have to either.
I can feel your cortisol lowering now.
For once – you’ll feel what it means when finding direction doesn’t mean you have to blow anything up or burn it all down. You’ll sense – through a powerful witness and guide –
That there’s a kinder, gentler, path that lets you integrate who you’re becoming with all you’ve built right now.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you arrive.
You don’t have to come with a polished manifesto to try and impress me.
You just have to take the first step to meet me here, in this space.
What it looks and feels like to say YES to your Soul Story Map
Questions you might be holding
01
Do I have to be someone working in healthcare?
No. I've coached stay-at-home moms, teachers, Pilates instructors, yoga studio owners, attorneys, graphic designers, artists, dancers, and C-suite executives. If you're intuitive, sensitive, and you love serving others, you belong here.
02
Can we really cover everything I want to cover in 90 minutes?
We cover a lot of ground. You'll leave with themes, clarity, and a guidepost. It's a beginning, not a finish. If you're looking for a guaranteed checklist for your entire life, you and I both know I can't promise that—and something tells me that's not what you want anyway.
03
Is this session a sales conversation in disguise?
No. This is a fully dedicated coaching container focused on you. It's not designed to pitch you or upsell you. Having said that, many clients do choose to continue working with me afterward in order to activate and implement the map with support and guidance, and we'll have a chance to feel out if that's right for you. But you won't be pressured to do so.
04
What if I sign up and change my mind and want to cancel?
I get it. Sometimes your heart says "yes" and your protective nervous system catches up later with an “oh shit, what did I just do?” Even though you might sense that naming the truth will get a ball rolling that you can’t stop – I invite you to stay present with one step at a time, and make sure you're resourced and ready just to take this first step. During the session, we can talk about pacing and timing to implement your map so it doesn’t overwhelm or destabilize your system. Bottom line – I don’t offer refunds, so I invite you to please listen to and trust your body before you book.
05
If I've worked with you before can I still do one of these sessions?
Yes. May clients I've worked with years ago circle back to check in, restart on a whole new coaching program, or schedule a coaching session. Sometimes we feel like we're revisiting the same experiences but we're in a new phase of life as we evolve. My work and life continually evolves, and so does yours. Some come on back - the water's warm. Let's see what we can map out together.
06
How is this coaching work different from a psychotherapy or counseling work?
I am certified as a coach, however I am not a licensed psychotherapist or licensed mental health counselor. Therapy is a brilliant container that allows you to uncover and have compassion for old wounds and processes trauma. Coaching is forward-facing—it's about who you're becoming next. We may touch on deep places, tap into your body, and as such this session may feel therapeutic, but it's not the right setting if your primary goal is to work through acute trauma, anxiety, depression, or self-harm concerns. It also may not be the right time if stillness, being witnessed in your honesty, going inward, attuning to your body may feel too uprooting and destabilizing to your system. That said – we will only move at your pace and at the depth that feels best for you. You don’t have to have fully processed out and healed from the past in order to move forward. Many of my Soul Story Mapping and long term clients work with both a therapist and me in tandem, and it makes for beautiful, integrated work.
Some final parting words from the clients who mapped and walked their path before you...
A final note from me to you
I see you. Really.
I see you for having made it all the way down here. For reading every word. For letting something inside you stir. That in itself is brave, and worthy of tenderness.
You’ve landed here for a reason. Maybe you don’t fully know what it is. Maybe this feels like one more page, one more thing you’re supposed to want. Or maybe this feels like exactly the whisper you’ve been trying to quiet.
Either way — your body, your soul, your wise Self brought you here.
I want to honor the place I imagine you are: heart beating a little faster, thoughts ballooning with both hope and hesitation.
It might feel like you're standing on the precipice of something—that incredible “what if this could finally be different?” And also a question may linger, “Is this really the right time?”
It’s okay that part of you doesn’t have the full picture and is questioning. It’s normal. It’s natural. In fact, it’s Sacred.
Because beginnings often look like uncertainty. They feel like questions. They show up as pullings, small tugs at your heart, a strange restlessness or ache you can’t quite name.
It might also show up as being annoyed, or irritated, or confronted by something I've said here. That's ok too.
If you decide not to take this step today, that’s okay. I support you. There are seasons when we need more rest, more space, more breathing, more cultivating behind the scenes before we sprout, stretch, and grow. And honoring that is part of sacred work too.
If you do decide to move forward — to map out your Soul Story, to trust the pull, to say “yes” to being Seen — know this:
👉 This session is not going to give you a perfect blueprint for everything. But you’ll leave with themes, clarity, and a guidepost you can lean into. It’s a beginning, not a finish.
👉 You don’t have to carry it alone. I’m here to witness, to mirror what your Soul is nudging you toward, not to prescribe or demand.
👉 The first step doesn’t always feel grand. It can feel small, shaky, maybe even poorly timed. But small steps, when aligned with your soul’s voice, move mountains.
I believe there is something inside you — something vivid, wild, true — that wants more than a life that is “fine.” A version of you that wants to live in a way that matches the story of "full aliveness" your Soul is already whispering.
Whether you click the button below or not, whether you decide to work together or choose another way forward, please know this: I am in your corner. My heart is cheering you on. I believe in the aliveness that’s inside you. I believe that your outside life can finally start to reflect the story your Soul’s been telling you in whispers and dreams.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading. Thank you for listening, even just a little, to that small voice tugging inside you.
With all my seeing and map loving,
Julie
