I am very passionate about health and wellness. I wanted a career that fit with my core principles rather than a career that opposed them. One that would allow me to be a tool of healing, to help and bless others, this desire lead me down the path of Massage Therapy.
Stress and tension from our daily lives filled with work, bustling about, and worry deeply affect us physiologically. Our bodies ability to maintain homeostasis and balance becomes hindered. Our Central Nervous System controls every system in the body - Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Immune, Endocrine, Lymphatic, Organ, Musculo-Skeletal, and Digestive system.
Our Sympathetic Nervous System is a division with in the CNS. It kicks on to help us get through the day, a tough or scary time, stressful situations, even exercise. It is the fight or flight system. In today's environment many of us are chronically stuck in this state which is damaging to the body as it creates a state of chronic bodily inflammation. In properly functioning bodies the SNS would shut off after the event ended and another division, the Parasympathetic Nervous System would easily engage. PNS is the rest, digest, repair side. It's in charge of many processes that keeps the body in a healthy state, aids in better digestion, restful sleep, healing, clearing of cellular debris, releasing balancing hormones and neurotransmitters that counter the ones released by the SNS. It helps calm us down and inhibits the SNS, so we can rest and heal.
When the PNS is unable to kick in due to this chronic state of survival via the SNS it causes disruption in our bodies natural homeostasis. Our quality of life and long term health are both negatively affected by this imbalance. Therapeutic massage works because it positively affects the CNS. It calms down the Sympathetic Nervous System and activates the Parasympathetic System. Massage therapy is more than getting knots out of our shoulders and backs. It is therapeutic touch that calms down the chronic fight or flight caused by our daily stress. Massage calms the Central Nervous System down which calms the SNS, which means it can no longer inhibit or suppress the PNS and it can turn on and start the healing of our bodily processes.
Weekly massage has an accumulative affect on the CNS and helps reverse inflammation, reduces pain, lessens anxiety and depression, lowers blood pressure, increases bodily circulation, and more.
While massage is great for knots, aches, and pampering i hope you now realize the cellular level of healing taking place in our bodies by calming the CNS and properly regulating it's divisions (the SNS/PNS) that control our every cell.
I look forward to working with you!

I throughly enjoyed the smooth, firm pressure. Julia really focused on my problem areas and took time to work those areas out. The cupping and hot stones were a great touch! I highly recommend.

I have a lot of problems with my shoulders and she was amazing!! The different things she used to work on them and her skills are amazing. I’ve had other massages before but she’s where I will be going from now on. She’s very knowledgeable as well.

I love the pressure on the massage. It was perfect. She made sure that I was comfortable with the stones and the towel, which was wonderful ending to the massage.
