About
Julie Francella Richards MSc. (Holistic Nutrition), NC, ACE-CPT I hold a Master of Science degree (High Honors) in Holistic Nutrition from Hawthorn University as well as a Certificate of Advanced Education in Emotional Eating Psychology from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and am an ACE-certified Personal Trainer. Outside of the field of Health & Fitness, I hold a BSc (Hons.) in Engineering Science (with a minor in Biomedical Engineering) from Pennsylvania State University; obtained my professional accountancy qualification through the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in 1998; and was awarded fellowship status in the ACCA five years later. In 2002, I permanently left the corporate world to pursue a career in Health & Fitness. I hope to enjoy a lifetime of fitness. My movement experience includes earning a Diploma in African and Caribbean Dance awarded by Birkbeck, University of London (England). I am also a Certified and active IGNITE Dancefit and IGNITE Barre instructor; a Zumba Fitness, Zumba Gold, and CIRCL Mobility Instructor; and have attained Ni Dan (2nd degree black belt) rank in the Isshinryu World Karate Association. I am a Board-Certified Tai Chi for Health Institute Instructor (Levels 1 and 2), as well as a Certified Yoga and Kemetic Yoga Teacher (400 hours combined). Other continuing education pursuits include courses in improving balance and mobility in older adults; herbal cooking; and health promotion at the population level. I hold a JrFit Youth Fitness Specialty Certificate and a Holistic Fitness Specialty certification which enables me to adapt and apply the principles of Holistic health to my nutrition and fitness protocols. In this way, I am able to better support clients who are undergoing the therapeutic process of recovery from eating disorders, traumatic stress, depression and acute grief. More recently, I completed the How to Hold Spa
