Decrease pain and tension to increase mobility and strength.
Recharge with a moment customized to you by a caring Portland Massage Therapist.
COVID-19 has changed a few things. Most important: 1. everyone will be masked for the duration of each session & 2. all appointments require a Covid-19 questionnaire completed before each session. (But honestly most of the changes won’t impact you as the client! ) I’m looking forward to our sessions!
Please note we are still learning mysterious things about COVID-19. I’ve collected research and news in this LINKTREE if you want to learn more. One thing to be aware of is that COVID-19 can lead to coagulopathy and deep vein thrombosis, regardless of if you are symptomatic or asymptomatic. (This is why many massage therapists have left the industry.) Massage could be problematic if you recovered from COVID-19. I ask that you get a doctor’s clearance before booking massage if you had or think you had COVID-19.

Approach
Julie’s approach to bodywork is calm and caring. Trained by East West College of the Healing Arts, this Portland massage therapist explores modalities and techniques for all body types and sizes. Having researched and provided specialized treatment to bodybuilders, bicyclists, and yogis, she is enthusiastic about supporting sports recovery and growth. Since experiencing traumatic injury, Julie has unique understanding of pain and the benefits massage can provide for healing. With the option to provide in-home and at-work treatments, today is a great day to book.
Black Lives Matter! I continue to check and evaluate my biases, to recognize and call out the racist paradigm I was born into and live in, and affirm the reality that racism has existed as a systemic form of resource control and abuse that benefits the few over the many; a system which benefits white people over all others. To this end, I continue to vote, volunteer, and when possible donate.
I participate in Awakenings Wellness Center’s anti-racist study group where we study individually and come together to reflect as a group on the reality of racism. This group meets every other week and is responding to Layla Saad’s Me & White Supremacy.
To keep things simple, I gathered this linktree (which includes places to contribute your voice, your dollars, your time, as well as other linktrees and documents listing resources and educational material). Multnomah County Library has audio & electronic books available such as White Fragility, How to be an Anti Racist, Me & White Supremacy, So You Want to Talk About Race, White Awake, Stamped, The Invention of the White Race, and many others. My personal goal is to educate, be humble, stay awake, be kind, be an accomplice.
