Here is one of my latest reviews:
I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in Julia’s massage course, which gave me a deep and well-rounded insight into her work and teaching style. From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt incredibly warm, familiar, and truly on eye-level — something I deeply value, especially as a learner.
The course offered a beautiful balance between theory and practice. Julia was always open to questions and made sure everyone felt seen and supported. I learned so much — especially the massage basics, the do’s and don’ts — making this course perfect for anyone starting out.
The setting was absolutely stunning, and sharing our lunch breaks with potluck meals brought the group even closer together. It felt more like a shared journey than just a course. Julia is not only an amazing teacher, but also a beautiful soul. Truly a special experience that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
