Administrative Team
JULIE SHRADER
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Julie Shrader is married, has one daughter and three grandsons. Julie is the Founder and CEO of Rejuvenating Women and the Restored Wings Recovery Home. As a survivor of sexual abuse, exploitation and domestic violence, Julie’s desire is to provide a safe place where survivors who suffer from complex trauma can begin to heal. Her vision has always been to show every single survivor love and compassion while giving her the freedom to discover who God says she is. Julie prays that going through the Restored Wings short or long-term Program, she will fulfill her lifelong desires and dreams.
Julie helps to raise awareness of all forms of human trafficking in the community and passionately prays to stop the buyers as well as those selling human beings.
Her future plans are to create a home for children and minors and to educate on pornography because if there is no demand, there will be no victims.
Julie enjoys being physically active and makes running a part of her routine as well as lifting weights, reading and quality time with her family.
