Julia is a Sunny Coast local who finds solace in sunrise ocean swims, embracing the sand between her toes and salt in her hair. Her journey of overcoming 15 years of chronic pain birthed a profound passion for wellness. She discovered fascia’s incredible impact on vitality, tension, pain, chronic illness, posture, shape and mobility—the very essence of ageing.
Exploring various fascia-based methods over three years led her to Block Therapy, founded by Deanna Hansen, an athletic therapist in Winnipeg, Canada. This innovative fusion of fascia release, breathwork, meditation, and exercise yielded such astonishing results that Julia felt an innate calling to share this revelation with everyone!
Today, as a certified Block Therapy Instructor and Wellness Guide, Julia sees genuine fulfilment stems from prioritising health. But sadly for most people, living in pain, premature ageing and chronic illness have become commonplace, and she is determined to shift this societal ‘norm’. Her mission is to guide you towards your optimal self, liberate your body from pain and tension, and navigate ageing gracefully—so you can relish in the activities you love, for as long as possible.
In Julia’s classes, you can expect a mini-spa day for your cells, unlocking greater oxygen flow, circulation, and vital energy by targeting fascial restrictions. She will guide you through diaphragmatic breathing and compression, using a beautiful bamboo block to compress your fascia. You will learn to truly embrace your pain— an integral step toward moving through and beyond it!
Your well-being matters and Julia is happily here to help!
