Julie Quick, CFP®, BFA™, CDFA® is founder of Cultivate Financial Wellness, a virtual practice where she caters her services to helping women all over the US navigate the financial challenges experienced before, during and after divorce. Working with a wide variety of clients throughout her 25+ year career has taught her that financial planning is about much more than numbers—it’s about paying attention to the values, emotions and life experiences of each individual person. Women, in particular, face unique financial challenges. These may include the long-term effects of the gender wage gap, time out of the workforce to care for family members, and longer life expectancies - all of which can be compounded by a divorce. Julie harnesses her personal and professional experience to help women move from feelings of uncertainty and insecurity to financial empowerment. Julie lives in Howell, Michigan, with her firefighter husband, Jeff, and their dog, Luger. When she isn’t working she enjoys all things fitness, traveling and working on home-improvement projects.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
