Julie Montagu, The Flexi Foodie, is one of London's top yoga and nutrition teachers and recently named Top 10 Holistic Health Icons in the world.
Julie Jean Fisher was born on February 17, 1972, in Sugar Grove, Illinois, as one of five siblings. She pursued computer science at Indiana University, becoming a member of Delta Delta Delta. After moving to London for an internet-based company, she met Luke Montagu in 2003. At that time, she was a single mother with two children. In 2004, she married Luke Montagu at Mapperton House, Dorset, becoming Viscountess Hinchingbrooke. In February 2025, she assumed the title of Countess of Sandwich following her father-in-law’s death and her husband’s succession to the Earldom.
Montagu’s career diversified when her husband faced health challenges, leading her to start running yoga classes for income. She established herself as a qualified yoga teacher, nutritionist, and mindfulness guru. She launched her ‘Flexi Foodie’ blog, which led to a cookbook deal and three international best-selling books: ‘Superfoods’, ‘Eat Real Food’, and ‘Superfoods, Superfast’. She also founded the charity Council for Evidence-Based Psychiatry, inspired by her family’s experiences. Her television career began with the British reality series ‘Ladies of London’, which provided financial support during a difficult period, though she later stated it was not a fun experience due to being cast in a particular persona.
From 2016, Julie and Luke Montagu took over the operation of the Mapperton Estate, transforming an old stable block into a wedding venue and opening a yoga school on the grounds. She has been a prominent commentator on royal events, particularly regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding and their subsequent departure from royal duties. In 2020, she began hosting ‘An American Aristocrat’s Guide to Great Estates’ on the Smithsonian Channel, which also became available on Amazon Prime Video. Since 2020, she has maintained a popular YouTube channel, ‘American Countess’ (originally ‘American Viscountess’), offering travelogue tours of British country houses. In 2021, she enrolled at the University of Buckingham, earning a Master’s of Arts in Country House studies with distinction, with her dissertation titled “Redefining the American Heiress”.
