Julie Merrick is a naturopath, researcher, and author, who holds a Health Science degree in Complementary Medicine, and is a professional member of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Association of Australia.

After running two successful clinics in the Blue Mountains of Australia helping patients with a wide variety of conditions, she now dedicates her time to helping women around the world with polycystic ovary syndrome. After her own experience with PCOS and her success in overcoming the challenges it brings, she created the 7 Step Solution so she could help other women achieve results like hers.

Knowing there was a limit to how many women she could help face to face, she collated her knowledge and created an online program that takes women through her 7 Step Solution week by week, via email lessons and teleseminars. In 2008 she was publicly acknowledged among her peers for her achievements with this by winning the Best of the Best award at the Global Wellness Summit in Queensland.

To achieve true healing, Julie believes you must identify and target the underlying factors that lead to your symptoms, rather than just treating the symptoms themselves. She also believes in taking a holistic approach by addressing the physical, structural, environmental, and emotional contributors to ill health, and supporting the body's natural healing process.

Julie resides on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, where she runs her online PCOS Business, home-schools her son, and also writes women's fiction novels.

Julie provides regular PCOS tips and newsletters for over 10,000 subscribers at www.poweroverpcos.com and is available for personal guidance through her online PCOS Success System at www.pcossuccess.com .
