About Julie

Through all that the Lord has carried me through, I’ve come to understand the struggles many women face. Over the last two decades, I’ve walked through emotional and narcissistic abuse, financial strain, chronic illnesses, depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. I’ve also known the heartbreak of a marriage ending after 25 years. I understand many of the challenges women endure because I’ve lived them firsthand.

 

None of it was easy. Many times, I wanted to give up. What kept me going were the truth and promises of Scripture, the Lord’s love, grace and presence, and the desire to be the mom my children deserved. Through it all, I discovered that God was not only my Provider but He is also my Provision.

In His grace, He led me to doctors and therapies which have helped me to

navigate chronic conditions while learning the impact of trauma, nervous system responses, and the connection between physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Science affirms what Scripture has always shown—the heart, mind, body, and soul are deeply intertwined. What I have experienced and learned has become the reason why I started Holistic Christian Care. Before I tell you about that, I want to share one more thing... Dallas, Georgia is home, and my greatest blessings are my five children (four grown, one teen), a wonderful daughter-in-law, and being “Gammy” to my granddaughter. 

 

Why I Started Holistic Christian Care

What I have lived and learned became seeds of purpose, growing into a calling to help women walk their own path toward healing by giving personalized care, support, and counsel from a place of understanding and faith. 

​​​

Holistic Christian Care offers a safe, compassionate space where we walk through the hurt, name the pain, and gently untangle the confusion. With God’s Word as our foundation, we seek truth that brings clarity to your mind, peace to your heart, and freedom to your soul. You don’t have to navigate the broken places alone. Together, we invite the Lord into them and trust Him to restore what feels lost and strengthen you for what lies ahead.

​

My Training

I became a Mental Health Coach and Board Certified Biblical Counselor through the International Board of Christian Counselors in 2023. I also completed training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy through Light University. Since 2017, I’ve incorporated somatic approaches and Polyvagal-informed care into my own healing journey. I’ve completed coursework in Parts Work for Complex Trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, and I am continuing training in Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma.​

​​

You don’t have to face your struggles alone. I’m here to walk alongside you, listen, and help you step by step toward healing and the Healer who restores every broken place.
