My Story

Julie B, Licensed Massage Therapist

After spending over 15 years behind a desk, I found myself sore, fatigued, and unfulfilled. I loved helping people, but I knew I needed something more—something that connected me to others on a deeper, more spiritual level. When a friend suggested massage therapy, I had no idea it would become the best decision of my life.

Massage allows me to combine compassion, intuition, and skill to help others heal and truly relax. I love hearing clients’ stories, learning about their journeys, and helping them let go of the physical and emotional tension they carry. Wanting to deepen the spiritual aspect of my work, I also became trained in Reiki. Because everything is energy, I use this awareness to help release negativity, restore balance, and guide clients into a state of deep relaxation and renewal.

I believe healing happens on many levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and that each person has the capacity to heal themselves. My role is to hold space, support that process, and encourage clients to take an active part in their wellness. I love educating clients about their bodies and sharing simple self-care practices they can integrate into daily life.

In my sessions, I tailor every treatment to your needs, drawing from a variety of techniques including Swedish and deep tissue massage, Himalayan and basalt hot stones, cupping, and lymphatic-focused or craniosacral therapy. My goal is always the same: to help you feel heard, balanced, and deeply restored.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll often find me exploring—continuing my education, studying human design or the Akashic records, and traveling to check off more U.S. states and national parks. I love spending time with my family, friends, and my two pups—Lewis, my curious little maltipoo, and Juniper, my animated and sensitive Pit-Weiler. You might also catch me in downtown Madison discovering new foods or walking along the beach searching for bits of glass treasure.
