Julie graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in December 2011. Followed by the completion of the cmtbc board exam receiving her registration March 2012 and has been in good standing since. She started out practicing around the lower mainland area in multidisciplinary clinics providing treatments to a wide variety of clientele while learning from experienced teams of physiotherapist, kinesiologists, chiropractors and other RMT’s. Julie’s approach is holistic involving a thorough assessment to investigate and form an appropriate treatment plan specific to each client. Her modalities are generally flowy, with Swedish to help ease stress, myofasical release, deep tissue, trigger point release, joint mobilization and stretching along with other therapeutic techniques to target more focused areas of concern. Julie has experience working with a variety of different cases such as chronic headaches, postural imbalances, overuse injuries, tendonitis, nerve impingement, sport injuries, sprains, strains, pregnancy massage, edema, scar tissue treatment, joint replacement, arthritis and more. She incorporates patient home care into her practice for those who require prolonged treatment at home. This may include specific stretching, strengthening postural awareness, lifestyle modifications, cold or heat therapy, and sport tape applications.
On a personal note Julie loves to getting out and enjoy nature. on the weekends you’ll find her Hiking, walking the beach, foraging for mushrooms, taking nature photos or looking for treasures on the beach to craft with. so many beautiful places on the island to explore! if she’s not outside she’s most likely watching a scary movie cuddling with her senior cat Daisy.
