Hi, I’m Jules!
I am a former professional athlete turned brain body educator.
For years, my world revolved around performance. As a professional athlete, I trained hard, competed harder, and built my identity around pushing limits. That level of intensity came with a cost. Over the course of my athletic career, I experienced more than 20 concussions. Most were minor, from hard falls and collisions, and one completely changed my life.
That major concussion left me in a deeply challenging place. Colors felt dull, sounds were muted, my reaction time slowed, and my eyes stopped working together. It felt like living in a fog. For months, I struggled to feel like myself again. During that time, I had the privilege of working with one of the top neurologists in the country, and it fundamentally shifted my understanding of healing, the brain, and neuroplasticity.
Ironically, the only thing that truly helped me recover was the very thing I had spent my entire life doing, movement. Through exertion therapy and carefully guided training, I began to rewire my brain. I learned that when we safely challenge the brain and body together, we create powerful pathways for adaptation, healing, and growth. That experience became the foundation for everything I do today.
After retiring from professional sports, I pursued a deeper understanding of human health and performance from multiple angles. I earned a Master’s degree in Health Informatics, which equipped me with a unique data driven lens that directly informs my brain body work.
My background in applied health science and data science allows me to analyze complex physiological and behavioral data, identify meaningful patterns, and translate them into actionable insights. In my professional work, I have written algorithms designed to identify key diagnostic markers and medical conditions. This experience strengthens my ability to think critically, evaluate evidence, and design effective, outcomes driven interventions.
I specialize in bridging the gap between research and real world application. Health Informatics trained me to take complex scientific findings and turn them into practical, usable strategies through movement, cognitive training, and somatic practices, so that people can experience real and measurable change.
My work is also grounded in systems thinking. I understand how different aspects of human health interact, which allows me to design scalable, evidence informed brain body programs for individuals, classrooms, and group settings.
In addition to my formal education, I am deeply committed to ongoing self directed study in neuroscience. I have completed advanced coursework and certificate programs in neuroscience through university affiliated programs and continue ongoing self directed study in brain and nervous system function.
I am also a Certified Somatic Practitioner with advanced training in nervous system regulation and mind body healing, and a former graduate level instructor in a Health Informatics Master’s program at a top university.
Today, I integrate everything I have learned, from elite athletics and concussion recovery to data science, neuroscience, and somatic practice, to help people strengthen the brain body connection in ways that are playful, practical, and deeply human.
My work is inspired by neuroscience and lived experience. It is grounded in applied health science, data science, and somatic practice. It is designed to help people move, think, and feel better.
