Soma Structural Integration

Improve the way you move, feel, and express yourself

Soma Structural Integration is a holistic form of manual therapy focused on freeing and organizing fascia (connective tissue) to restore mobility and alignment. Clients often report feeling lighter, having better posture, more spaciousness in joints, and greater ease and clarity after sessions.

Ways to work together:

  • Single session — a stand alone treatment or balancing tune-up

Testimonials

  • I feel more comfortable in my own skin

    I decided to do the Series to continue opening up my physical body, and indeed, this was one outcome: My hamstrings opened up; my shoulders relaxed onto the Earth more; my weight feels more centered when standing; and my ability to fold at the waist increased. But the most profound change is deeper: I feel more comfortable in my own skin, more sure I have a right to be here.

  • Julie is highly intuitive, gentle, and strong, & allows your nervous system to fully surrender with ease.

    Each session flowed seamlessly into the next and allowed my body to unravel old holding patterns that did not serve me. Julie provided mobility exercises and movement patterns to use to help maintain alignment to work together with the structural integration. Highly recommend for a full nervous system reset and finding a deeper connection to your body.

  • Unlike any other bodywork I have tried

    SOMA is unlike any other bodywork I have tried. While it combines elements of massage, it's more of a full body and mind analysis and connection. With each series session, I experienced improved mobility during outdoor activities and workouts, along with reduced fatigue and enhanced recovery post-exertion. Notably, I had a dull low back ache that noticeably diminished over the course of the sessions. Julie truly has a unique energy and eye for the art of the human body. I appreciated her sense of calm, knowledge, and intuitive grasp of my body's needs.

  • The Soma series can support both your emotional and your physical well-being

    You will be in capable hands with Julie (literally). I was especially struggling with some nerve issues in my right arm and wrist as well as shoulder pain on that side and Julie's work made a significant difference. She is also just such a lovely person. I highly recommend the Soma series with Julie.

  • Julie has a magical touch - gentle yet strong and SO effective

    I almost always relax to the point of falling asleep during her long sessions. The body work is a lot more intentional and strategic than other practitioners I have seen in the past. I have scoliosis, and I noticed the chronic pain is alleviated after just one session. Highly recommend seeing Julie, so worth it!!

  • A much needed reset every time

    I never quite realize just how much tension has accumulated in my body until after I leave Julie’s soma massage session. Deep pointed pressure of the fascia and various trigger points helps release the tension and stored emotions. I feel relaxed and my body feels soft afterwards. It feels like a much needed reset every time.

  • Effective pain relief

    The Soma Series treatment with Julie fixed my long term pain in the hip, knees, and lower back, and has made such a difference in the health of my body. I highly recommend her.

  • It was amazing how my posture shifted over time

    Working with Julie was such a gift! Her presence, extensive knowledge, calm energy, and skilled work helped me so much. We took photos before and after the 11 sessions and it was amazing how my posture shifted over time. My shoulders settled more, hips looked more balanced, head was higher, and body just seemed like it had more ease. As a massage therapist myself, it was a blessing to receive such thoughtful and attentive bodywork from Julie, and to learn so much about her work and other ways of approaching the body and bodywork. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs supportive and effective bodywork! It's so beneficial, even if you're not coming in for any specific issues. Cannot speak highly enough of Julie and her work!

  • Feels free and spacious

    Thank you so much for introducing me to what is possible for my body in terms of openness, ease, and flexibility. I felt really comfortable and taken care of in a professional way. It feels so free and spacious all around the shoulder area, my chest on the top is open and arm movement is even more expanded. It is incredible how it works. And I love the gentle aroma of cacao butter.

  • Increased body awareness and improvements in posture

    Julie is a gifted Soma massage therapist. I did the Soma series from Julie over 11 sessions and had great improvements in my posture, less muscle fatigue after workouts, and most importantly, increased body awareness. She is passionate about helping her clients achieve their health and wellness goals. If you are looking for some great bodywork and to become more aware of your body, I would recommend Julie in a heartbeat!

  • Soma Structural Integration is a holistic form of manual therapy based in the lineage of the work developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. A psychologist named Bill Williams wove in principles of cultivating greater body-mind connection in conjuction with the deep manual therapy. During sessions, pressure is applied to different areas of the body to affect the fasical system with a lot of intention, care, and detail. Pressure and intention ranges to affect superficial to deep layers of tissue depending on what is needed.

    As a whole, Soma works by rebalancing and re-educating the fascial system. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that lines muscles, blood vessels and nerves, and provides interconnected structure for our being. When we experience stress or use the body in an imbalanced way, tension and adhesions can develop in the fascia and pull our structure out of alignment. This is often accompanied by pain and reduced mobility.

    Soma works in a systematic way with the intention to rebalance and restore the body to its natural alignment. Symptoms in one area may be caused by tension in multiple other areas, and working the whole body in balance provides a way to treat root cause and create long term pain relief and change.

    When the body is balanced and there is ease of movement, it reclaims more energy for living and supports greater wellbeing and health.

  • If it’s your first session, we'll first chat about your goals and go over health history. Then we will do a quick body reading, taking a look at alignment and movement. There will be about 90 minutes of treatment work. Depending on the treatment plan, there may be a movement activity at the end.

    The whole session takes between 90-120 minutes.

  • Bring something to wear that is similar to what you might wear swimming. Underwear/shorts/spandex works well. For chest coverage, a tube top is preferred and provided here. A loose tank top, bralette, or swim top can also work. Bring a water bottle for post session hydration.

  • You may feel energized, or you may feel a little bit like you worked out after a receiving a session. If possible, having some time to be spacious and light after session is a great idea.

    Hydrating, movement, going for a walk, eating a nourishing meal, journaling, and taking an epsom salt bath are all wonderful things to do after your session.

  • I do not take insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider. You may check with your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits for massage therapy. I can provide a superbill on request.

    I can also accept HSA/FSA cards. If you are using an HSA/FSA card, I reccomend receiving a referral for therapeutic massage from your physician first.

  • For those doing the Soma Series, a cadence of 1-2 weeks in between sessions is reccomended for the best synergy and momentum.

    For general treatment and balancing, receving a session every week, month, season, or year can be a great form of preventative care and body maintenence.

    For long-term chronic issues, multiple treatment sessions may be needed to see lasting shifts.

  • In general, Soma is best experienced in the 90-120 min container. Shorter sessions are offered on a case by case basis for those who prefer or need shorter sessions. Please message me for more information.

  • I accept card, cash, and venmo. Tips are not expected.

    I can also accept HSA/FSA cards. To ensure coverage on your end I’d double check your policy and see if you need a referral or prescription for therapeutic massage from your physician first.
