The Living Field - Centres, Boundaries and the flow of Qi. This workshop is about: • How to organize sensation • How to refine perception • How to choose relationship • Feeling your centres without force • Tracking pathways without getting lost in them • Establishing clear, kind boundaries • Working in relationship • Returning to yourself after contact Because sensitivity without structure becomes overwhelm. And structure without sensitivity becomes rigidity. A responsive system. This is energetic hygiene as a living skill. Saturday May 30th @ 3:30-7:30pm

*Book this option for an add on to treatment*The delicate area is soothed, hydrated and refined. Relex tools and rollers are used to awaken. While pressure points and lymphatic drainage nourish.

This autumn, join me for a three-month Bodywork Intensive designed for practitioners and dedicated learners ready to deepen both their technical skill and energetic presence. From September 10th to December 10th, we’ll meet in a focused, supportive environment to explore: • Practical Applications & Hands-On Skills – Targeted work with specific areas of interest in the body, exploring joint mechanics, fascia release, structural balance, and nuanced touch. • Subtle Body Integration – Working with energetic awareness, boundaries, resonance, and the communication that happens beyond words. • Clinical Application – A student clinic will run alongside the training, giving you the opportunity to work with real clients under supportive guidance, integrating everything you’ve learned into a live treatment flow. This is not just about learning new techniques — it’s about embodying your work so that every touch, every movement, and every moment with a client carries the full depth of your attention, skill, and care. Whether you’re looking to refine existing abilities, open new channels of perception, or develop your clinical confidence, this intensive offers an immersive, transformative space to grow.

This training teaches practitioners to work at the elastic/tension border—the edge where tissue is willing to respond—without pushing past it. We blend listening touch + client-led arm movement + rib basket mobility to access relationships that static pressure can’t reach. We include the “missing links”: • Lymph + blood flow pathways (toward axilla and collarbones) • Nerve rebalancing/autonomic regulation (tone over technique) • Pelvis–diaphragm–rib continuity, including the uterus as an integrative hub The learning environment is supervised, supportive, and built on wonder and curiosity—so skill grows through exploration, not performance. Saturday June 20th 3-8pm Sliding Scale - $275-$375

The techniques shown will be done directly on the breasts. We will also be focusing on the neck and underarm lymphatic drainage areas. Because we will start with increasing circulation, expect to be using facial products from the neck to the ribs. The group is limited to 8. Bring a robe to stay cozy and if you prefer to stay covered.

This private session offers Conscious Connected Breathwork, a trauma-informed, body-based practice that works with the breath to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and deeper connection to self. Each session includes time to arrive and touch base, followed by an extended breathwork journey supported by music and sound, with the breath guiding the pace. Time is included at the end of the session for rest, settling, and integration. Sessions unfold differently each time. Some experiences are subtle and quiet; others may be more expressive. You are invited to listen to your body and engage in a way that feels supportive. If you are new to conscious connected breathwork, at least one prior session with Julia is required before booking breathwork. This initial session may take the form of counselling and/or craniosacral therapy.

Join me for a discovery session where we can explore the possibility of working together. This session is a chance for us to connect and to see if we are a good fit. It's an opportunity for you to ask questions, and get a sense of how your sessions might look. I truly look forward to meeting you!.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that supports the body in its natural ability to heal. This work creates the conditions for the nervous system to settle — moving out of vigilance or survival states into a place of greater safety and ease. When the system softens, the body’s innate intelligence can step in. It knows how to heal, unwind, and release the layers of stress, trauma, injury, and the imprints of past experiences. Clients often notice a deep sense of rest, clarity, and reconnection with themselves as this natural process unfolds. Craniosacral therapy can be especially supportive for nervous system regulation, concussion recovery, chronic health conditions, trauma, anxiety, stress, headaches, and sleep challenges. This work offers a gentle, sustainable way of meeting what’s here and inviting new pathways of healing to emerge. Safe for all ages, craniosacral therapy offers a subtle yet profound invitation to return to balance, resilience, and wholeness

This is a program that opens up the pathway to go deep to a place within yourself, where change can occur. A place that perhaps we don’t yet even know exists, or know how to get there, but we know that this place holds the answer we are looking for to have a deeper connection with ourselves. The portal to this place is our skin.

Somatic bodywork is a therapeutic approach that engages the nervous system through intentional touch, promoting regulation, reducing stress, and enhancing the body-mind connection by addressing patterns of tension and trauma stored in the tissues.

Somatic bodywork supports nervous system regulation, tissue release, and deeper connection to the pelvic region within a safe, trauma-informed framework. This gentle, external approach works with tension patterns surrounding the pelvis, hips, abdomen, sacrum, and pelvic floor to support comfort, circulation, embodiment, and a greater sense of ease in the body—without internal work. This is supportive for pelvic pain or tension, painful intimacy, chronic tightness, recurring pelvic discomfort, postural or stress-related holding patterns, endometriosis, menstrual or prostate-related tension, sexual trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and challenges related to intimacy or body connection. By gently releasing surrounding tissue tension, this work helps restore safety, mobility, and connection within the pelvic space.

*Book this option as a treatment on it's own* The delicate area is soothed, hydrated and refined. Reflex tools and rollers are used to awaken, while pressure points and lymphatic drainage nourish.

The Table as Partner — Structure, Force, and Whole-Body Connection This workshop explores how structure, balance, force, and efficiency of the whole body translate directly into the treatment room.

We explore: • Weight transfer instead of muscular effort • Yielding before directing force • Rooting through the feet while expressing through the hands • Continuous movement rather than segmented action Your hands are no longer doing the work alone. They become the expression of your whole-body connection— a continuation of the ground rising up through you.
