Chronically Courageous:
Health Coaching for People with Diabetes
Chronically Courageous is the coaching arm of Chronically You, created for people with diabetes who want steadier emotional ground, less overwhelm, and more confidence in the everyday rhythm of life with chronic illness.
​
As a MindBodyGreen-certified health coach (CHC) with Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training and over two decades of lived experience with type 1 diabetes (T1D), I understand what it feels like to live in the highs and lows—emotionally and otherwise—and how hard it can be to find the middle.
​
My role isn’t to give advice or "fix you." It’s to help you build awareness, recognize patterns, and tap into your own strengths so you can move toward a calmer, more sustainable middle ground that fits your real life. Think of me as your accountability partner! You're in the driver's seat.
​
If you’re ready for support that honors your emotional health, meets you where you are, and helps you shift out of the extremes, sign up today.
​
I'm actively accepting new clients!
What Is Health & Wellness Coaching?
Health and wellness coaching is a collaborative, client-led process that helps you get clear on what you want, understand what’s getting in the way, and take small, doable steps toward a steadier, more grounded life. I don’t diagnose, treat, or give medical or mental health advice. I’m not a therapist, dietitian, personal trainer, or clinician.
​
Coaching will help if you want support with:
-
Awareness
-
Motivation
-
Emotional patterns
-
Diabetes burnout
-
Confidence
-
Routine-building
-
Finding a more steady middle ground with diabetes
​Coaching will not help you if you're seeking:
-
Therapy
-
Nutrition advice or plans
-
Medical guidance
-
Diabetes prescriptions or technology advice
-
Personal training solutions or fitness advice
-
Diagnosing diabetes, interpreting numbers, or giving management advice
Coaching is not a replacement for medical care. Always consult your healthcare team for medical or mental health decisions.

Vibe Check:
Am I the Right Coach for You?
Hi, I'm Julia! I understand that choosing a coach is personal—it’s a relationship built on trust, honesty, and shared intention. Having complementary dynamics can be important in building comfort and clear communication.
I believe that you deserve to find the right accountability partner for your journey, and if that isn’t me, that’s okay! I don't want to waste your time. I want to help you maximize your time so you can live a more fulfilled life with diabetes.
What matters most is that you feel supported and understood by your coach.
While I don’t provide medical advice or guidance, I believe in showing up with context, compassion, and curiosity. When I say I understand what it’s like to live with diabetes, I mean it—but that’s only part of my story. I’m silly but serious, creative but analytical, and will put you first.
