Julia founded Hamdardi Women’s Health Services after years of living and working across the region, witnessing a critical gap in women’s healthcare. Holding a Master’s degree in Exercise Science and Wellness, Julia previously worked as a science educator and curriculum director for a comprehensive wellness services organization, where she developed integrated programming addressing physical fitness, nutrition, and mental health. Her professional experience designing and implementing evidence-based health interventions informed her understanding of what effective wellness programming requires—and what was missing for the women she encountered.

The decision to establish Hamdardi was not a single moment but the accumulation of countless observations: women struggling with mobility, living with unmanaged chronic pain, and navigating diabetes or hypertension without ongoing support or education. Julia’s own family history with non-communicable disease, combined with the stories shared by the families who hosted her throughout the region, crystallized her conviction that women deserved better. Her years in the region have cultivated deep appreciation and respect for its people, informing her commitment to long-term presence rather than short-term intervention. Julia leads Hamdardi with the professional expertise to design effective programs and the cultural competency to deliver them with dignity and respect. Her vision is straightforward: every woman should have access to the holistic health support that allows her to fully use and enjoy her life.
