My name is Julie Ruxton, and I help people reconnect with their sense of self and the relationships that matter most through emotionally intelligent coaching, structured conversations, and actionable strategies.

​

What I Bring to the Table:

• Bachelor's degree in Psychology

• Master of Science in Education (MSEd) in Counseling

• 11+ years as a practicing school counselor, grades 9–12

• Prior experience in mental health care

• Life Coach with professional training through Coach Training Alliance (ICF-accredited)

 

After spending over a decade sitting across from teenagers every day, I've learned how they see the world. I bring that understanding into coaching conversations, helping you feel less lost in translation and more connected to your kid. The skills that come from years of working with young people; navigating change, understanding communication, managing stress, translate naturally to anyone facing their own transitions and challenges.

​

What drew me to life coaching is its belief that you already have the answers within you. The coaching relationship is simply the space where you get to find them. Home Base was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a steady place to land while navigating life's challenges and transitions. My work combines professional training, lived experience, and a genuine belief that growth unfolds when we feel understood and at home.

​

I live and work in Westchester County, NY. At home, I'm raising two girls alongside a dog and a cat, so I know firsthand what it means to juggle a full life while still wanting to show up for yourself and the people you love.

​

A note about life coaching: It's not therapy. It's a forward-focused process where we work together on growth and goals, helping you move from where you are to where you want to be. Sessions are held virtually, with in-person available upon request.
