Julie has been working in the healing arts since the early 2000s, developing an integrative approach that combines skilled manual therapy with a deep understanding of how the body restores balance and function. She blends structure and intuition, creating a calm, nurturing and grounding environment that supports nervous system regulation. She is passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies and facilitate sustainable transformation.

Julie graduated from the Manual Osteopathic Therapy program at the Canadian College of Osteopathy (MOCC) in 2022 and has been practicing Massage Therapy since graduating from Mount Royal College in Calgary in 2006. Some of her continued studies include somatic-informed techniques for bodyworkers, yoga and breath practices, and Thai Yoga Massage. (See the full list of trainings below.)

As a dancer and performer involved in movement and flow arts for over 15 years, Julie brings a deep appreciation for body awareness, balance, and natural movement into her work.

Since moving to the Okanagan in 2008, Julie has provided hands-on care in a variety of wellness spaces, supporting clients with massage therapy, manual osteopathic therapy, somatic practices and practical tools for long-term wellbeing.

Julie remains committed to ongoing learning and continues to study with inspiring teachers and mentors to deepen her understanding of the body, holistic healing, and integrative care.
