Services
I strive to bring the latest pain reduction strategies to the table. The reason I do this is because I experienced an accident and had medical providers who did not seem to care - they treated me with cookie-cutter procedures and most assumed (never even asking) my accident was motor vehicle related when it was not.
Therapeutic Massage: Application of Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Trigger Point Therapy, Structural Bodywork, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Cupping, Gua Sha / Coining, and somatic awareness building. Sports Massage: Targeted treatment to decrease pain and tension, increase mobility and strength, and, depending on your needs, to build energy or recuperate post-event.

Julie has great hands, very nice sequencing and is very attuned to the tension in my body. She also is quite sensitive and always asks how much pressure? Is this ok? Need this? All so very nice. She also utilizes cupping, hot stones and percussive therapies. Her room is very cozy and comfortable too. Plus the music she plays is not your traditional floaty new age instrumentals. It’s a very eclectic mix of lots of styles but all very relaxing and soothing to hear. I have not only enjoyed my massages with her but feel super relaxed and rejuvenated when I leave. I highly recommend her!

Julie is so great! She has been helping me recover from a car accident injury for the past month and I feel lucky to have her as part of my care team at this time! I love how she always provides little treats along with solid deep massage: hot stones, aromatherapy and more are all included. She's great with dealing with insurance, which can be a stressful part of dealing with a car accident. See Julie for a nice relaxing massage or to get help with injuries. She knows so much about the body and healing.

Julie is extremely professional and takes the time to listen and understand the issues that I am treating. As well, she also goes well above and beyond just the massage treatment in providing information about home treatment, potential causes of the issue, and links so that one can further educate themselves. Very high quality experience.

I am a life long ballet dancer with messed up feet + now work as a hairdresser standing all day. Julie is VERY knowledgeable, took me under her wing, and has not only used her magic hands + tools to help keep me going, but also has extensive after care + at home suggestions she has shared with me. Along with her anatomy + technical skills, Julie knows the healthcare insurance system and can guide you through.

Over the last few months I've been to four different massage therapists. Of those four Julie's abilities reigned supreme!
As a massage therapist myself I have a very high standard for what makes a good massage.
1. LMT (licensed massage therapist) takes the time to truly understand what issues are going in your body and addresses them all.
2. LMT has the ability to resolve issues without leaving me feel like I got beat up the next day.
3. LMT has a good sense of when I want to be talkative and when I want to relax and enjoy the massage.
4. LMT has wide variety of techniques.

Julie makes you feel better! She’s wonderful at her craft. I’m a mail carrier. I walk 10 to 15 miles a day and haul 100 to 250 packages a day, so I’ve got some soreness issues. Julie’s massages keep me and my muscles going. She’s a great communicator and does everything in her power to make you comfortable. I’ve had a lot of massages in my life, so I can say with authority that Julie is top-notch.
