My Journey To Strength

A woman is lifting a barbell during a workout at the gym.

Hi, I’m Juliya — and my journey into fitness began with a desire to heal, not to chase aesthetics.

After multiple surgeries, chronic pain, inflammation, and the changes of postpartum life, I felt disconnected from my own body. I struggled with muscle activation, stability, and confidence, and I didn’t want to “bounce back” — I just wanted to feel strong, capable, and like myself again.

Everything changed when I shifted my focus from how my body looked to how it functioned. I prioritized:

  • Strength

  • Sustainable weight loss

  • Recovery and mobility

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Small, consistent habits

And with that shift, the aesthetics followed naturally. A strong, healthy body begins on the inside.

Today, I help women rebuild strength, confidence, and connection through a holistic approach that blends strength training, sustainable weight loss, and recovery into one powerful journey. My programs — including my Hourglass Method — are rooted in the same methods and mindset that helped me reclaim my own body.

You don’t need perfection.
You just need a starting point.

Let’s build your strength from the inside out — together.
