Julia has been a licensed massage therapist since 2011, bringing 15+ years of experience and a genuinely broad skillset to every session — Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular, myofascial release, prenatal, trigger point, hot stones, and cupping. Her approach blends therapeutic and restorative techniques so that effective and deeply relaxing aren’t mutually exclusive. Every session is customized, every client is met where they are, and nothing is on autopilot.

In January 2023, after a routine mammogram, Julia’s life took an unexpected turn — a diagnosis of stage 2B Triple Negative Breast Cancer. What followed was 24 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, multiple reconstruction attempts, and 21 rounds of radiation. After complications with reconstruction, she made the decision to go flat — a choice that brought her peace and allowed her to fully embrace her body exactly as it is. Over the past two years she has learned the power of resilience firsthand — the beauty of support from friends, family, and clients, and the quiet clarity of recognizing who walked away when things got hard. That experience deepened every instinct she brings into the treatment room. She understands what it means to need care that genuinely meets you where you are.

That journey led her to specialized training in breast health and manual lymphatic breast massage — work she’s passionate about for both women and men as a tool for self-care and earlier detection. As a therapist and a survivor, she brings a perspective to this work that no textbook can teach.

Julia understands the body’s incredible ability to endure, adapt, and heal. In the treatment room she creates a space where clients feel genuinely seen, unhurried, and cared for — and her mission is to keep learning and supporting bodies of all kinds toward long, healthy, fully lived lives.

I’m a licensed massage therapist with 18 years of hands-on experience and the founder of Point Clear Wellness, established in 2017. My work is built around one idea: when your nervous system feels safe enough to settle, your body can do what it already knows how to do — soften, release, and recalibrate on its own terms.

I offer therapeutic massage, craniosacral therapy (CST), and somato-emotional release (SER), all guided by the same principle — work with the body, not against it. Gentle doesn’t mean superficial, which is a common misread of this kind of work. Sessions often include deep, focused pressure when it’s called for, but the depth is set by how your body responds, not by force. Muscles soften more readily and fascia releases more fully when the nervous system isn’t bracing against the work being done to it.

My CST training comes through the Upledger Institute, an internationally recognized program built on precise listening, subtle technique, and respect for what the body already knows how to do. That training shapes how I work with chronic tension, stress patterns, headaches, jaw and neck discomfort, and the kind of overwhelm that settles into the body long before it shows up anywhere else.

Point Clear Wellness was built to be exactly what its name suggests — a clear point to land. Calm, welcoming, and designed around regulation rather than spectacle. Every session is shaped by what your body actually needs that day, whether that’s slow grounding work, targeted focus, or a blend of both.

My approach is simple: this work goes furthest when it’s collaborative, respectful, and unhurried. Massage doesn’t need to hurt to be effective — often the deepest shifts happen when the body feels listened to rather than pushed. My goal is for you to leave lighter, steadier, and a little more at home in your own skin — and for that to last well past the drive home.
