Great massage. Very convenient with in-home massage options. She came to our house and set up a comfortable space for a relaxing experience. She listened to my requests and delivered what I was hoping for in a message.

I have known Julie for many years and she is amazing at what she does! I have used her for therapeutic massage and personal training, as well as nutrition consulting. She has taught this old dog some new tricks on how to take care of myself. I strongly recommend her for all these services and more. I doubt there's much she can't help you with when it comes to your health. Her dog Byron is the coolest as well

I needed a massage therapist that understood athletes. I'm 55 and VERY active (Surf, Hike, Golf, etc...) Julie is an athlete as well, and therefore better equipped to find those problem areas and fix them. She'll get you back in the game, or improve your game. She's that good.

Thanks Julie for making my quality of life better each and every day.

I found Julie on Yelp after looking for massage therapist that could come to the house. She was able to fit me in and arrived at the house right on time. She was professional, extremely skilled and very friendly. As a cyclist and triathlete my body gets hammered on and I needed her to help work out my very sore legs and she did a wonderful job! I rode 100 miles the next day and my legs never felt better! I highly recommend Julie to anyone who is sore or hurting or just looking to relax! Thanks Julie I will be calling you before my next race!

Found Julie on yelp, and noticed she's a traveling therapist, so I thought I'd try her out. I was working on a 20-page paper for school and was in desperate need for someone to massage me as I was super tense in my upper extremities & my jaw was hurting since I had been clenching non-stop. No one could get me in that day and that's when I stumbled across Health Tense. She was booked all day, but after explaining my situation she squeezed me in at the end of the night and came to my house to help me. I was so grateful she was so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. She

Julie is incredibly skilled. I've been dealing with training injuries and she knew exactly how to massage the areas and helped so much. She got me in on a Sunday with 1.5 hours notice. Besides being so skilled she is so kind. I highly recommend her to anyone needing massage.

Julie came out to our house and did massages on me and my partner. She was wonderful. Just the right amount of pressure. Other massage therapists would try to "fix" me in 1 session which would hurt when they were doing the massage and left me bruised the next day. That did not happen with Julie. It was just a nice, relaxing massage. She is very reasonably priced.

Julie is an amazing Massage Therapist. I have looked around and even gone to the membership massages (Massage Envy). I like Julie because she is experienced and knows exactly what is currently going on with my body. I have a labor intense job and race triathlons. My body is in need of constant maintenance and repair. Julie helps a lot and recommends what I should do between sessions.

Big south swells equal hours upon hours of long paddles and endless rides at Trestles. But my downfall? One extremely sore lower back, stiff shoulders, and a slightly tweaked neck after 4 hours in the water. In an effort not to miss the next day, I knew the only solution was a good massage. Thank goodness for Julie.

I found Julie on Yelp, and after going to her website realized that she also surfed and participated in other adventure sports. Score. Trying to explain to a massage therapist why my neck was sore from "duck diving" would not be an issue.

The massage? In one word, AWESOME

I originally found Julie here on Yelp as I was trying to find somebody available late in the evening. I had played an intense 7 hours of beach volleyball on Saturday and desperately needed bodywork in order to be prepared for Sunday's games. While her availability was the original reason I picked Julie, the quality of the massage is why I go back. Julie is perfectly capable of providing as much pressure as needed, which I tend to need a lot, and the communication to ensure it wasn't to much was perfect. Highly recommend.

I was visiting from Northern California. The drive and my cranky back were in need of some therapy. I yelped local area massage and I was happy to find Julie's credentials and exceptional reviews. I was also happy to find out that Julie was an athlete who specialized with athletes. I was able to contact her and make an appointment the following day. I was thoroughly happy with here professionalism and the immediate pain relief I experienced. I would highly recommend her for therapy.

I don't know why yelp keeps taking my posts down. Julie is awesome, puts up with me and my mom whining and customizes our workouts for our preferences, one day at the pool, one at the beach, the park, in my living room, it is so convenient for me. She is tough while still keeping it fun, and helps you reach your goals. And best of all, she will come to my house after work at 7 a night, the only way I can fit exercise in, she is a lifesaver! And to top it all off, she is also a masseuse, so when I'm too wiped out for training, there is always Massage instead!

Julie (Health Tense) was recommended to me by my Physical Therapy Office. I had 2 knee surgeries and left shoulder rotator cuff surgery in the last 3 years. Constant pain kept me up at night and during the day. I had traditional Physical Therapy, which did not fully relieve the pain, and then decided to add massage, in hopes to make my muscles stronger, and pain subside.
After only 4 massage sessions with Julie, I realized that there was hope and I may actually be able to live with less pain. I was finally able to stretch my legs and walk straight. She is a miracle worker. She found aching

Julie's the best! She comes to your home. She makes you feel comfortable. She makes you feel better! She remembers what you like and don't like. She offers deals for repeat business and referrals. Julie is on my speed dial! Thanks for the years of great massages, Julie! I'm overdue by the way. Birthday coming up!

The best massage you've EVER had + comfort of your own home= a massage from Julie. I've tried numerous "day spa's" in search of the best massage ever, but thanks to Julie I need to look no further! and I'm SO grateful I was referred to her! If your like I was, constantly searching for the best massage ever, do yourself a favor and call Julie now. Trust me, You won't be disappointed.

Health Tense offers nutritional guidance, personal training and massage and they come to you, it's awesome!

I've only ever had the massages, which are great, but I know several of their other clients who also have personal training and nutritional guidance and it seems like those are both good too (I work in the fitness industry myself so can take care of the other two things myself; unfortunately I cannot give myself a full body massage yet, lol).

I personally recommend them for massage, and recommend them via friends experiences for personal training and nutrition.
