Pilates Instructor, Studio Owner
Julie’s Pilates journey began in 2014. A self-proclaimed gym rat, she was no stranger to weight and cardio machines. However, it was through Pilates that she discovered a deeper connection between body and mind.
After a rewarding career in the tech and cybersecurity realm, she decided to pivot towards a more balanced lifestyle. In 2022, she and her husband moved from Seattle to Walla Walla. Drawn by its scenic beauty, vibrant community, and the promise of endless rounds of golf and exquisite wines, they found their perfect slice of paradise. It was during this transition that she discovered her true calling in Pilates.
Her path to becoming a teacher stems from a natural inclination towards mentorship and guidance. Throughout her career, she’s been looked to as a mentor, both by colleagues and as a manager. Additionally, her experience with teaching Karate revealed to her the joy and fulfillment that comes from empowering others through education. That same spirit led her not only to teach Pilates, but in 2025, to take on ownership of the very studio where she had been teaching — deepening her commitment to fostering a space where others can grow, move, and thrive.
Excited to share her passion for Pilates with each and every person, Julie approaches teaching with a sense of care and compassion, recognizing the individual needs and aspirations of each student and supporting them every step of the way.
When not in the studio, you can find golfing, gardening, exploring the great outdoors, listening to music, and sharing joyful moments with her four-legged friends.her
