🌸 About Me
Hi, I’m Julie Wilder Brown, a Master Life Coach from Upstate New York. I bring nearly 10 years of experience as a formerly certified Family Peer Advocate, along with 27 years of parenting experience, including raising children with special needs.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked alongside parents and families from all walks of life, helping them navigate challenges such as abuse, parental alienation, financial hardship, navigating adult child relationships, difficult behaviors, and complex family dynamics.
I bring lived experience and professional training, but I start by listening to you. Struggling does not mean you are failing. Sometimes the demands around you, or the support available, are part of the problem too.
We can pause, make sense of what is happening, and work out a practical next step. We look at what fits your life, not what someone else thinks your life should look like.
🌱 Parent Coaching
Parenting is full of challenges: from tough behaviors and school struggles to sensitive conversations and social pressures. I provide guidance, tools, and encouragement to help you respond with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll also focus on your well-being, because when you feel supported, you’re better able to support your child.
Stressed, overloaded parents need space to breathe and reset. If you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver looking for support with your child’s needs (or your own), you’ve found a safe place to start.
🌟 Personal Coaching
Sometimes the next step isn’t about parenting at all — it’s about you. Personal coaching offers space to explore your goals, build balance, discover your life purpose, or create more happiness day to day. Whether you’re navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply wanting more direction, I’ll help you move forward with confidence and intention.
I bring over 25 years of experience in outreach and professional development. My ongoing training shapes the way I support parents today. My focus is on building confidence in parenting, encouraging self-care, and sharing tools that make life at home feel more manageable. What I value most is seeing families grow stronger and more connected.
When you work with me, you benefit from my training in:
-
Understanding child development and mental health needs

Supporting families through school, social, and behavioral challenges

Trauma-informed strategies that reduce stress at home
