I’ve known Julie most of my adult life since she came into our family and married my brother. There are many good memories. We simultaneously attended MUIH to extend our education. She focused on nutrition and I on yoga therapy. She would swing by my class and leave me notes and surprise treats of “brain food and eicosanoids” AKA nuts and berries.
She was not only a kind and generous spirit, but also creative, intelligent, and quick-witted. I am glad to have known her all of these decades and that she was a part of our family. I will always remember her impact on me over the years and will miss her being here and being one of us.

Aunt Julie had a unique way of making each person she spoke to feel special and truly heard. She would give you her full attention and interest in whatever you had to say. She also was very considerate of others, I.e. always making vegan stuffing for me at Thanksgiving so I didn’t feel left out. I will continue to make her recipe in her memory! We both loved natural health and nutrition so that was always fun to talk to her about at family parties. She had a calm and peaceful energy that was such a joy to be around. A few Christmas Eves ago, I happened to play on piano “The Answer” by Corinne May. She messaged me later telling me that she listened to that song before she went to bed and it helped bring her strength and peace during times of trial. I feel the same way about the song and will continue to play it in her honor. We love you Aunt Julie! And we are continuing to pray for you, Uncle Frank, Turo, Vero and Ceci.
I consider myself blessed and lucky to have had Julie’s as my clinical teacher at MUIH. She radiated a genuine healing presence and kindness that instilled courage in her students. She modeled so beautifully what it looks like to listen to clients and create a personalized protocol with clinical excellence and tact when I was terrified to conduct my first nutrition sessions. I remember thinking, her kids are so lucky to have her as a mom. My condolences to her family for your loss.
