About
My path into holistic therapy began after many years in the fashion industry, where I experienced first-hand the pressures of fast-paced, target-driven environments. High stress led me to explore complementary therapies for my own wellbeing, and their impact inspired a change in direction and a return to study.
I qualified as an ITEC Massage Therapist in 2001, followed by Reflexology in 2002, and continued to study and develop over the following years. I have worked across mobile practice, health clubs, salons and wellbeing clinics. From 2008 to 2016, I ran my own holistic salon in Honor Oak Park, and between 2018 and 2021 supported stroke survivors as part of the rehabilitation team at King’s Hospital.
Today, I specialise in deeply restorative, hands-on therapies that support the nervous system, improve circulation and lymphatic flow, and help the body rebalance naturally. My approach is intuitive, unhurried and collaborative, combining therapeutic results with sensory relaxation using natural and organic products wherever possible.
Above all, my intention is to offer a calm, supportive space where clients feel listened to, cared for and able to fully switch off.
I am a full member of the Complementary Therapists Association (CTHA), membership number II71145297.

Reviews
Julia is the best practitioner I have ever been to. She builds in time before each appointment for a consultation so we can discuss and agree on focus areas. No two visits are ever the same. I highly recommend her.

Thoughtful, Personalised, and Professional I booked a Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage with Julia after noticing puffiness in my legs and tension in my neck and shoulders from working a desk job. From the moment I arrived, Julia was warm, attentive, and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for from the treatment. What I appreciated most was how personalised the session felt. Julia listened carefully to my concerns and adapted the treatment to suit my needs, combining lymphatic drainage with therapeutic massage. She also helped me choose some wonderfully scented oils and incorporated elements of scalp massage and reflexology to help me relax. The treatment was incredibly effective. The lymphatic drainage was firm but never uncomfortable, and I felt deeply relaxed afterwards. Over the following days, my stress levels remained lower, my mobility improved, and the swelling in my legs visibly reduced. I was so pleased with the results that I booked another appointment the same day. Julia also followed up with personalised recommendations for footrests, socks, and simple exercises I could do at my desk, which made me feel genuinely cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone experiencing stress, tension, puffiness, or swelling. Her thoughtful and tailored approach makes you feel truly listened to and well looked after.

I've been coming to Julia for several years now for different massage treatment including lymphatic drainage. Recently I was lucky enough to be among the first to try her new Lymphatic Nurture Ritual which was so lovely and utterly relaxing - I felt like a new person afterwards! Julia has a wonderfully calm, grounded and considerate presence that puts you completely at ease from the moment you arrive. I always feel comfortable discussing any concerns with her. I love her use of aromatherapy. If you're looking for a therapist who genuinely cares about her clients I highly recommend Julia.

Your ritual begins with a warm foot cleanse using hot mitts and guided deep breaths to calm the nervous system. We activate the primary lymph nodes and apply a gentle body brushing to stimulate circulation. Starting on the back of the body, an invigorating, firming oil is introduced to the skin with rhythmic Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage pump-and-glide compression strokes. Next, you are gently eased into a supine position for your dedicated facial, featuring a deep, nurturing cleanse, gentle exfoliation, and a restorative Lymphatic Drainage Facial Massage. While a premium Hydrogel Collagen Mask hydrates your skin, the journey continues with a firm BMLD massage to your legs and stomach, moving onto targeted foot reflexology points to support lymphatic and digestion pathways. Your facial concludes with nourishing cream and SPF, before a grounding pressure point head massage completes this immersive experience.

Your ritual begins with a deeply relaxing top-to-toe massage using a dreamy blend of lavender, chamomile, and frankincense to calm the nervous system and quiet a busy mind. Flowing from calves to back, neck, and shoulders, slow, rhythmic techniques are used to release deep-seated physical tension.
