Born and raised in Palo Alto, Julie attended UCLA as an undergraduate where she briefly studied music, before graduating with a degree in graphic design. Shortly after college, Julie decided to become a physical therapist, a profession that combined her interest in fitness and her desire to help injured people recover health and function. Julie quickly completed a second undergraduate curriculum in the sciences, and eventually received her Masters in Physical Therapy from UCSF. She then worked as a staff physical therapist at Stanford Outpatient Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. Julie discovered the Bar Method in San Francisco in 2001, and immediately deemed it the best workout she had ever experienced. Julie's teaching at the Bar Method allows her to join her commitment to health and proper exercise technique into one strong and effective workout program. Julie also maintains a private physical therapy practice, where she promotes injury recovery, performs manual therapy, and educates patients regarding proper posture, exercise technique, and body mechanics. Julie is married to Ray, an attorney and avid trail runner, and has two children, ages 10 and 14. She enjoys spinning, piano, tennis, trail running, and teaching and taking Bar Method classes.
