Julie Brow-Polanco is a PCC(ICF) coach, a NBC-HWC coach, a NASM certified personal trainer and weight loss specialist, a Functional Medicine Certified Coach, trained herbalist, professional freelance writer, speaker, and published author.  She currently coaches for a large digital healthcare company and takes a limited number of private clients, from teens to adults.

Julie has been nurturing self-efficacy and motivation in young people for nearly two decades. Through her books, God Schooling: How God Intended Children to Learn and 100 Ways to Motivate Kids, conference workshops, and  online seminars and downloads, she has helped thousands of parents replicate her efforts and implement self-directed learning and motivation principles in their homes.

In addition, Julie's other published writing over that time served to further spread her message, with work appearing in national parenting and education publications, healthcare and wellness outlets, and homeschool media. She has also been interviewed by podcasts and publications on homeschooling, teen development, learning differences, motivation, and natural health. Some of these appearances and publications include Teach Them Diligently, Old Schoolhouse, A+ Parenting, Life in the Nerdom, Alliance for Self-Directed Education, Fatherly, Autism Parenting, and Life Unboxed among many others. Julie has also empowered hundreds of moms through her podcast, Crunchy Christian, which featured educational episodes about herbs, nutrition, and other wellness topics. 

In more recent years, Julie brought her expertise to a now defunct local alternative high school, Cornerstone Academy, where she served as an instructor as well as student health coach and advisor. One of the students shared, 

Health coaching with Mrs. P was a big part of my high school years. It guided and helped me during times I didn’t understand what to do with my health or was struggling to understand myself as a person. It was a necessary step I needed to take and the school staff saw that. I am very grateful for the coaching because it led me to see what I needed to do for myself and what I could control instead of focusing on what I couldn’t. I am proud of who I have become as a person thanks to the coaching. --JM

Julie holds an Honors BA in Psychology from Dominican University and an MS in Health and Human Performance (Integrative Health focus) from Pacific College of Health and Science (PCHS). Her PCC program was with the founders of the Trio Coaching Academy while they were instructors at PCHS. Julie currently coaches young people transitioning into adulthood, families struggling with goals and expectations, and people of all ages trying to lose weight, get active, manage stress, and enjoy their best health, whatever that looks like for them. She believes in living what she preaches and loves to hike, bike, and paddle whenever she gets the chance. But, her greatest passion is spending time with her husband, her four grown children and three very special grandbabies.
