In Person Sessions

 

Come experience the power of fascia release at my office in Golden, CO!

Through targeted fascia release and strategic realignment exercises, we can help heal dysfunction and pain in the fascial, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems.

As your Fascia Remedy practitioner, I pin your fascia with some or all of my body weight (via the feet) and then ask your fascia to change itself (through movement) from the inside out. You are essentially using me as a tool to heal yourself. I will help coach you through this process!

This key combination of engaging multiple systems at the same time (skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems) and working holistically throughout the fascial system is what quickly interrupts compensation patterns and unwinds tension for lasting change.

The goal of every session is to “map” your body’s fascial structure. Meaning: we find and release adhesions, discover areas of restriction, and identify any imbalances you may have. We will also use simple but effective realignment exercises to integrate new movement patterns and get the right muscles firing again. Plus, we will discuss what techniques you can do at home to continue our progress.

This work can reverse tension and pain quickly, put you in touch with your body and its many messages in a powerful new way, and allow you to move through life with confidence and ease.

 

My in-person schedule is currently booked out 4-6 weeks. Please fill out the contact form below to inquire about a session. Initial Consultations are $175.

"Julia has helped me completely transform my body after 25 years of lingering pain stemming from an auto accident. I've been seeing her for 5 months, and it's worth noting that for me, this work has been difficult. It's often very uncomfortable. And, it's the single best investment I've made in my own wellbeing.I can't believe how much more easily I can do the activities I love. My balance and alignment has improved so much that I'm expending far less effort. I even put on a dress I hadn't worn since I started working with Julia and my shoulders are now nearly 2 inches wider, because they're finally relaxed and filling all the space they should in my chest. I didn't even know that they were so compressed -- no wonder I could never relax and always had neck pain! I HIGHLY recommend."

"If you've found yourself on this page, don't even waste your time second guessing this. If you are in pain, Julia is the person you NEED to see! As a kickboxer, I have issues in my hips and shoulders. She is my go to gal when I need fixed back up in fighting shape. She truly takes her time to sit with you and discover what is causing the underling issues. Her knowledge, the provision she takes that is necessary for the health of each individual person, and her professionalismmakes her the top specialist in Colorado to see! Highly recommend!"

"Julia does literally magical work. I have gone to her with chronic neck pain, plantar fasciitis, and back pain and within 1-2 sessions I walk out completely pain free every time. Her fascia body work is super unique and pretty much immediately effective. During the work you actively participate which I believe is what makes the results so quick. I have gone to PTs, chiropractors, advanced massage therapists, and no one gets me out of pain faster than Julia. As a practicing NP, I recommend my patients, family members, and friends with any type of musculoskeletal pain to her. She has prevented unneeded surgeries and cortisone injections, and helped me and so many people I know live pain free lives. I seriously could not imagine my life without her!"

Just a few sessions can make a big impact on postural alignment + mobility!

"The difference Julia's work has made in how my body feels is simply unparalleled.

After having major back problems two years ago, I’d become accustomed to “try to manage it as best you can, but this may be your new normal.” When it started getting intolerable (massage gun, standard exercises from a PT, Tylenol, etc.. all not sufficient), I heard about Julia.

I was shocked how much relief even the first week was able to bring and by week 3 the results were even more remarkable. 

Can’t possibly recommend her enough!"

"Since working with Julia my shoulder pain has stayed away! Her work is thorough, professional, and friendly. She follows up with personalized videos to review in between sessions which is a valuable bonus. If you've "tried everything" and are still dealing with pain, book a session with Julia. Highly recommended."

"Julia is an absolute treasure. Her compassion, knowledge, her innate curiosity make for a very symbiotic experience. I have a history of shoulder issues with a significant loss of range of motion. Since seeing Julia, I have had pain relief and have been able to hold my arm straight over my head for the first time since I was a kid. More recently I have seen Julia for a QL strain, and tight deep abdominal muscles. She mapped out a plan, had me out of pain within the hour, sent me exercises to continue in between visits and stayed in contact with me via email. If you are in need of pain relief I couldn't recommend her more!!"

"Before my daughter and I met Julia neither of us were able to play volleyball – our favorite sport. My daughter dislocated her knee twice in three months and I hadn’t played volleyball in six years because I hurt of a shoulder injury. Both of us were in bad shape and just wanted to get back to playing the game we loved. A friend of mine suggested that we see Julia because of her ability in restorative rehab. After just a few appointments – we were both back to playing the game we loved and my daughter even picked up a new passion of kickboxing. We couldn’t have done it without Julia!"

"Julia is AMAZING. I have worked with her since October 2017 and I’ve been to her for 3 separate issues. Every time after a few appointments, I feel like a brand new person. I can assure you and would be willing to put money on the fact that if seen by Julia, you will begin seeing results immediately! She listens to your injuries, addresses them property, is understanding and very personable. She is truly one of a kind! HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

"Since I had lived for decades with ankle pain from shattering it when I was in college, it just became something I learned to accept and deal with. When I met Julia, however, she was super excited to see if she could help reduce the pain level, and went to work right away. I almost didn't believe it when my ankle pain went down, and the rest of my connected body felt relief. What? Julia is trustworthy, skilled, and a gift, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in pain. Truth be told, she is my very first thought whenever anyone actually mentions any sort pain. 5 out of 5, highly recommend."

What is Fascia?

 

Fascia, also known as connective tissue, encases everything in our bodies. In fact, it’s the most abundant tissue we have!

It's like "plastic wrap" that wraps around every muscle fiber and muscle group, tendon, ligament, organ, bone, blood vessel, and nerve. 

This "plastic wrap suit" is one uninterrupted, interconnected system and it organizes all the material and water in our bodies. It connects ligaments to bones, allows muscles to glide, holds organs in place, keeps our tissues hydrated, and maintains our postural structure (yes, more than the skeletal system)! If your fascial system were to magically disappear from your body, you would go tumbling to the floor in a pile of bones and goo.

Fascia is what gives you your shape, structure, and texture. 

Fascia also holds our potential to move freely (or not). When fascia is healthy, it's like there's oil between all those layers of plastic wrap. Muscles and joints glide easily, blood can flow, your lymphatic system can detox, tissues are hydrated, and nerves can communicate quickly and uninhibitedly. Your body is light, mobile, and resilient.

Healthy fascia is essential for healthy movement!

Why does tight fascia cause pain? 

Ready for analogy number two? When fascia is healthy, it functions like a wet sponge. It continuously soaks up essential nutrients and squeezes out toxins. Fascia also has a spring-like quality much like a sponge: you can easily squeeze inward or twist it any direction, and it will bounce right back to its right shape. This resilient quality enables your body to move with ease, without restriction, and at its optimal level.

Unfortunately, life can throw stress, trauma, overuse and even underuse into the mix, causing your fascia to twist into knots, stick together, shrink, and become dehydrated. Now, parts of your fascia are like a dry sponge. It’s hard and brittle. If you tried to squeeze inward or twist it, the sponge would hardly move or even break apart. Nutrients aren’t being absorbed, toxins are not coming out, shock isn’t being absorbed or distributed, and mobility becomes restricted. Fascia can even shrink enough to constrict blood vessels and pinch nerves. When optimal mobility is lost, this can result in pain, decreased range of motion, increased risk of injury, and muscle compensation.

Your fascia requires space so that blood can flow and movement can happen.

Unhealthy and Restricted Fascia Contributes To:

  • Tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
  • Low back pain and herniated discs
  • Knee pain
  • Plateaus in athletic performance
  • Pulled muscles
  • Upper back pain and rib pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Neck pain and headaches
  • Exercise induced aches, pains, and stiffness
  • Carpal tunnel and hand numbness
  • Pinched nerves, nerve pain, sciatica
  • Hip pain
  • Overuse injuries (such as Golfer’s or Tennis Elbow, Runner’s Knee, shin splints, etc)
  • Limited range of motion
  • Aches and pains from pregnancy or postpartum
  • And more

Good news!

Space, hydration, and health in your fascia can be restored. If you address your fascia (“pull out the wrinkles in the plastic wrap”) and thereby allow hydration back to your tissue (“water to hydrate the sponge), you can be free to move how and when you want.

It doesn’t matter what age you are! If you correctly address fascia in the right areas, it's possible to...

🔸Make huge progress in less time

🔸Walk, run, jump, workout, and live life without pain

🔸Improve function of joints, muscles, and organs

🔸Improve breathing

🔸Improve immune system

🔸Have better focus and energy

🔸Feel comfortable being in your body

🔸Have better resilience to stress

🔸Feel younger

🔸Have better posture, balance, and mobility

🔸Lose your fear of pain 

🔸Restore trust in your body
