Julie’s passion for movement and dance, natural healing and self care practices led her to lean into her healing gifts 25 years ago. Now with many techniques to draw from, Julie’s tool box holds a wealth of skills and knowledge.

She has since provided hands-on treatments in a number of wellness clinics and spas in the Okanagan, providing countless numbers of people with massage therapy, manual osteopathic therapy, somatic practices, as well as educating clients with holistic resources, exercises and movement.

Julie is a seeker drawn to explore the mysteries of what it means to be healthy and well, human and conscious. She is always curious about unconventional and integrative modalities and treatments. Her intention since she started on the health and healing path is to provide the most holistic care.

Some educational highlights: she graduated from the Mount Royal College Massage Therapy program in 2006 in Calgary. She was a dedicated yogini attending many courses and instructing for several years. Studying ayurvedic philosophy and graduating from 2 Thai yoga massage courses. Immersing in dance and movement arts for the past 15 years. Graduating from the Manual Osteopathic Therapy program at MOCC in 2022. In 2023 and 2024 she expanded into somatic informed techniques for bodyworkers. (see list of courses below)
