Doctoral-educated nurse practitioner, founder of Venture Wellness, and the clinician behind our hormone, metabolic, and longevity programs. Her approach is root-cause and data-driven: a full evaluation, comprehensive labs, and a plan built around the whole picture, not just the problem in front of her.
Looking for everyday primary care? That is Danielle Braithwaite’s side of the practice: meet Danielle or learn about Direct Primary Care.
Julia Montgomery, DNP, FNP-BC, founded Venture Wellness to deliver the level of clinical precision and time she watched conventional medicine consistently fail to provide. As a doctoral-educated nurse practitioner and Adjunct Professor of Graduate Pharmacology at Marymount University, she brings both academic rigor and over 15 years of clinical depth to every patient relationship.
Her approach is root-cause, data-driven, and built around the full picture, not just the problem in front of her. Visits are longer than a typical appointment, labs are reviewed with you line by line, and treatment is adjusted based on how you feel, not only on what a number says.
Outside of the practice, Julia spends time with her husband, their two daughters, and their dogs Cricket and Clover, whom you may catch hanging out at the office from time to time.
Every hormone, weight, and longevity program at Venture Wellness starts the same way: a new patient evaluation ($155) with a detailed intake and medical history review, followed by a comprehensive lab panel, billed to your insurance by the lab or $195 self-pay. You then review the results together and agree on a staged plan.
Ongoing care starts as low as $160 a month, and follow-up visits can be done by video for established patients across Virginia.
Julia holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and is a board-certified family nurse practitioner (FNP-BC). In Virginia she holds an APRN license with autonomous practice and prescriptive authority, which means she evaluates, diagnoses, prescribes, and manages care independently. Her license can be verified at dhp.virginiainteractive.org.
No. You can book a new patient evaluation directly. If you have recent labs from another clinician, bring them; they are reviewed as part of the evaluation.
Everyday primary care at Venture Wellness is provided through Direct Primary Care with Danielle Braithwaite, MSN, FNP-C. The two sides of the practice share one clinical team and one record, so hormone care and primary care stay coordinated.
In person at 2342 Colony Crossing Place in Midlothian, VA. Established patients can do follow-up visits by video.
We care for patients from Midlothian, Richmond, Chesterfield County, Bon Air, Powhatan, and Chester, and across the greater Richmond area. Visits are in person at our Midlothian office, and by telehealth when it’s clinically appropriate.
