Nurse Practitioner & Psychotherapist
Julia Petrakis is a dedicated online healthcare services Nurse Practitioner with a focus on nutrition, fitness, and well-being. She completed her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing at Western University in 2010 and her primary healthcare nurse practitioner program in 2018.
Starting in pediatrics, Julia transitioned to a trauma unit, spending nearly a decade there before focusing on primary and women’s care as a nurse practitioner. Her own experiences with an autoimmune disease and infertility intensified her commitment to holistic women’s care.
