My philosophy as a Licensed Massage Therapist is deeply rooted in the concept of 'mind and body.' While I focus on providing relief from structural issues, my primary objective is to calm the nervous system.

I firmly believe that massage therapy does not necessitate pain to be effective and my goal is to aid the body in releasing stored tension by positively influencing the nervous system.

I employ a balanced approach, without resorting to painful techniques that trigger the body's natural 'armoring' response. Clients experience relief from muscle tension and pain while still being able to enjoy a sense of deep relaxation, even during deep tissue work. When we intentionally create uncomfortable pain on the table it causes the clients Nervous System to automatically armor up and tighten the myofascial system in order to protect from the "perceived threat" and pain.

I offer a range of massage modalities, including:
Swedish Massage - Level 1
Pre and Postnatal Massage
Integrated Therapeutic sessions where i combine techniques and tools to help alleviate problem issues. Designed more for focus work. See Level 2 and 3 sessions.
Hot Stone Massage
Cupping Therapy (Modern Cupping Therapy Company)
Therapeutic Cupping for Lymphatic Drainage (Modern Cupping Therapy Company)
Oncology Massage (SC4OM)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Vodder Method (KLOSE Institute)
PNF-based Facilitated Stretching (ProActive Massage)

 

Q & A **What will a massage session be like?
Many people are seeking massage therapy for their first time and are concerned about what to expect. 

1- Massage Therapy is modest and respectful. You will be draped at all times under a sheet and blanket except for the specific area that is being worked on. After it is worked on it is covered up again. 

2- All gluteal work is done through the sheet layer, and no work is done on the upper 3-4" of the inner thighs. 

3- Breasts and genitals are covered at all times and never touched or massaged! 

4 - Enforced cancellation policy. By booking an appointment, this spot is reserved for you. If you fail to give a 48 hour notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment, you will be charged 50% of the appointment fee. At 24hrs if you cancel or no-show you will still be charged the full session fee. If a card was used to book the appointment, a portion will be refunded back to you if one is owed, minus card processing fee. If a card was not used, no future appointments can be made until  fee's are paid.

**Since my goal is mind and body therapy, i believe "no pain-no gain" deep tissue methods are counter productive and negates therapeutic benefits for *all* systems of the body. If you are of the "no pain, no gain" mindset and feel that the only way you can get relief is from a forceful ("can't hurt me") massage session - i am not the right therapist for you. 
 

***Zero Tolerance Policy***

I am a licensed professional! I have a strict zero tolerance policy. Any form of sexual solicitation, requests, innuendo, jokes, conversation, etc. the session will immediately end, full session price will still be charged, and person will be banned from future sessions with me.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

If you would like to have a relaxing and professional massage, give Julia a call and book with her. I have been twice and will return as soon as I have the time.

Very good service. I had a few areas that were super tense and she payed extra attention to them. I felt very relaxed afterwards!
by Donita on May 01
Julia explained very well the techniques she was going to use for my problem areas. She was very thorough in her massage. Can hardly wait to return!
by Ashley on Apr 29
Hands down the most amazing massage of my life! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the nervous system and has such a thoughtful and caring approach. I felt so deeply relaxed and cared for, like melting into butter. Seriously one of those experiences where you can feel your whole body exhale into peace. Highly highly recommend her services if you’re looking for relaxation and most importantly nervous system support ❤️
by Angel on Apr 22
10/10 would recommend - very talented and knowledgeable masseuse. She is kind and patient and listens well.

Julia is so knowledgeable and experienced! A 90 minute session with her is more akin to a muscular treatment than just an indulgence, but of course is both. Highly recommend

Highly recommended! Been having residual frozen shoulder issues and she has brought back full range of motion and i am pain free and it only took two sessions with her. And all with out having to hurt me like other places i have tried. So glad to finally find a great massage therapist!
by Danielle on Mar 29
Highly recommend Julia! From head to toes, this was everything you want in a massage. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed. Will most definitely book again.

She knows so much about the body and how to really get deep into the tissue. So thankful I found her.
