Julie Davis
Registered Massage Therapist
Julie has been an RMT for a little over 7 years now and can happily say that she is still in love with the world of Massage. "Everyday I get to come into work, interact with different people, build new relationships, and help people feel better. Personally, I believe laughter is the best medicine, massage is a close second."
If you have been treated by Julie, you know that she likes to get to know clients on a personal level. She wants clients to leave feeling uplifted, in less pain, and relaxed. Learning about her client’s hobbies, families, and goals helps when planning a treatment. You wanting to be able to chase your 5-year-old granddaughter around in the back yard or getting back to work after being off for so long is something that we can work together and achieve. Your wins are Julie's wins.
Her treatment room is a safe space for people to show up and be authentic. Part of our job is to take a pause, listen, and understand what is being said. Julie ensures clients feel that they have her undivided attention, and their safety and well being is the number one priority.
"Although my job is mostly healing with my hands (and elbows), I think I can speak for most RMTs when I say that a lot of the healing comes from our hearts. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing the look on our clients face when they are able to achieve their goal or come in without the look of pain on their face. We only get to spend an hour together in the treatment room, but our care has an effect that can last a lifetime."
