Although Julie is new to North Austin Massage Therapy, with over 15 years experience, she is no stranger to massage therapy. She was originally trained at the Alexandria School of Scientific Therapeutics in Alexandria, Indiana. She also received her Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy (PDMT) training there under the instruction of Ruthann Hobbs, one of the two Master Pfrimmer Instructors in the world. Though the foundation of her massage work is Pfrimmer, thanks to her overwhelming curiosity and thirst for knowledge, she has studied a wide variety of healing modalities and has amassed a treasure chest of healing tools. She has received training in CranioSacral Therapy, Healing Touch, Activated Isolated Stretching and Energetic Cranial Therapy under the instruction of Tom Shaver, D.O. The fact that Julie loves a challenge makes her particularly effective for athletes and people who have chronic issues.

Julie also holds a Masters degree in Social Work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she has worked in the field of human services for 25 years. She has dedicated her career to improving the lives of others, both physically and emotionally. This unique blend and varied experience enable her to assist clients from a holistic perspective with focus on the mind-body relationship. She truly has a healing spirit, which she gladly shares with her clients.
