Juli Madacey:
Returning to Truth
Juli followed the “safe” path she was given, even as her health quietly deteriorated. It wasn’t until she chose to invest in herself—without guarantees—that everything began to shift.
Bio
Juli Madacey is the Co-Founder of Fabulous Beyond 40, where she and her business partner, James Ellis, inspire women over 40 to navigate a healthier menopause journey so they can get their sparkle back and feel like themselves again.
Juli is a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Master Health Coach, Menopause Coaching Specialist, and Certified Personal Trainer dedicated to empowering women in their health journeys. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges women face, Juli combines her expertise with a compassionate, client-centered approach.
Juli’s path to becoming a health coach stemmed from her personal struggles with weight and health. Disenchanted with one-size-fits-all diets and misleading health advice, she embarked on a quest for knowledge. This journey led her to holistic methods that embrace the complexity of individual health, moving beyond mere weight loss to a comprehensive understanding of well-being.
At the heart of Juli’s philosophy is the belief that mindset is a powerful catalyst for physical transformation. Through small, manageable daily practices, she guides her clients in redefining their relationship with their bodies and food. Her approach is not about quick fixes, but sustainable, personal health journeys.
Known for her humour and empathy, Juli’s clients often describe her as their “Personal GPS” — a testament to her skill in navigating the intricate pathways of health and wellness. She believes in making health a joyous journey, not a rigid goal.
Juli’s question to you: “What kind of life do you want to live?” She invites you to explore this with her, as you journey towards a healthier, happier you.
