ongoing support and encouragement was to address stress issues and help
to balance work and home lives and still have energy at the end of the
day. Julie brings her professionalism, combined with advanced knowledge
in this area and her agreeable, non-judgmental, entertaining
instructional style have greatly added to the wellbeing of my staff
