Julianne Nagle
Owner and Founder of Garden O'Veaten, Consultant, and Coach

Julianne spent 35 years in a sales career in a multi-billion-dollar worldwide company, where she quickly excelled and led over 3,500 people as a national leader. She personally recruited and mentored some of the top leaders in the company. During her years in sales she mentored and promoted herself to a prestigious position in the top .000001 percent of the company and was honored to have been asked to train and inspire people, not only in the United States, but around the world. Helping others excel, become more and be their personal best – this is her passion that drives her still today.

In 2014 Julianne healed her Multiple Sclerosis… she believes she ate her way into MS and she ate her way out! She carried the same passion from her sales career into guiding others to become their best selves – taking control of their health and healing themselves with food – by sharing what she learned and practiced.

In 2018 Julianne created and opened Utah’s first and only 100% plant-based, non-GMO, gluten-free, 85% organic and 100% delicious food truck! Bringing the taste of health to others.

She then began mentoring and teaching others how to transition from a S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) to a healthy, healing, plant-based lifestyle through a powerful, live, on-line cooking course. Empowering others to become their own health heroes, by taking CONTROL of their health! Students cook live in their kitchen while Julianne cooks live in hers! Many courses teach how to prepare recipes and gain skills in the kitchen…. Julianne takes it to a new level. She teaches and empowers others to learn the power of EACH ingredient in those recipes. Students that cook with Julianne stay on the healthy plant-based wagon and have NO desire to go back to poor health habits. 

“Our HEALTH IS a CHOICE and it is at the end of our FORK…. Come join me…. Just for the HEALTH of it!”

Thank You for Making our Service Project a Huge Success!

Our 2024 service project benefitted Hopebox Theatre, which is 'Bringing Hope to Families Battling Cancer through the Performing Arts'. Every show at Hopebox benefits a recipient who is fighting a battle with cancer. In 2024, the Davis Chamber of Commerce Women in Business supported the mission by building gift baskets for the recipients, caregivers, and family members the Hopebox supports.
