hey, I’m Jules

Having spent most of my life in Sydney (with the exception of 5 years in London, which I loved but ultimately the weather got the better of me), I am relatively new to the Coffs Coast. For the majority of Sydney life I lived on the Northern Beaches, so when it was time to leave the big smoke and embark on our next chapter I was thrilled when my family & I fell in love with Sawtell; a very similar lifestyle to the one we were used to, just with less people.

I have been working one on one with people for 20 years. My passion for helping people started with massage therapy. As a touch therapist I believe you need three skills over all else:

The personal skills to create an environment in which your clients feel comfortable & trusting.

You need a thorough, in-depth and ever-evolving understanding of anatomy; an understanding of the body’s systems, how they relate and intersect and how the client best needs to be treated. This should not be limited to the body; an holistic approach is needed, always looking beyond simple symptoms, searching for the root cause of an issue.

Finally, you need intuition. A client can guide you towards what may be wrong – relaying symptoms and history of injury – but an accomplished practitioner can often intuit causation, beyond that which the client may be able to divulge.

My love for working with people through touch therapy over the past two decades has brought an awareness of the mind/body connection to the fore. Because of my devotion to this industry and my ongoing connection with people and touch therapy, and my evolving understanding of how I can best serve my clients, I have been inspired to become a qualified counsellor. From this I have been volunteering for a wonderful non for profit organisation (NALAG) helping people deal/cope with Loss & Grief.

My passion will now be shared between touch therapy and talk therapy. Intertwining these two therapies if and when requested/required by the client.

  • Luke Duncan . CHECK Practitioner

    Jules has been a cornerstone of my health and fitness business through Primal Movement the past 6 years. Her dedication to her craft has seen her evolve from the best soft tissue practitioner I know of, to the best counsellor which now I frequently refer too.

    Her ability to empathise and really listen has seen her keep all my clients and myself healthy, happy and functional. Whether it be soft tissue work, dry needling or her ability to listen, Jules will be able to provide a service that helps you get to the root cause of your challenge and correct it for better health long term.

    I would highly recommend Jules to anyone whom was looking to feel or function better.

  • Shar, Seaforth

    One of the loveliest things my husband does on holiday is booking me in for a massage in the most beautiful resort spa he can find. Without fail I’m left disappointed because there isn’t a massage therapist on the planet that compares with Jules.

    Jules’s knowledge of the body, ability to find the pain and release it, the peace and relaxation she brings, the care and nurturing she bestows is a gift from a higher realm. Jules has played an irreplaceable role in my wellness journey. Thank you wonderful Jules x

    Jules is completely different. The moment she starts to massage you, you know, you feel that here is someone, who knows exactly what she is doing.

    Jules is not giving you the “same, same, but different” treatment. She feels and sees (like through a supernatural ultrasound view) where your weak spots are and where you need special attention.

    It can be that Jules is solely focusing on your shoulder and neck, if that is what your body needs. She just senses it. In any case you walk away feeling refreshed, even more: you feel re-aligned with your body, your spine, muscles, and joints. I can not recommend Jules highly enough to anyone who – like me – sits long hours in front of a screen and just wants this kick to feel alive again. Please take it with a grain of salt, because to get into Jules’s busy calendar is a different feat altogether. She is just booked out in a heartbeat. Jules is one of the two best massage therapists I ever had.

  • Simon Lee, Manly

    At 48 years old, I'm more physically active now than I've ever been. I trail run, surf, swim, paddle, ski and work out - and I would struggle to sustain all of these activities if it wasn't for my regular massage sessions with Jules.

    She has incredible talent and intuition for zeroing in on "the problem behind the problem" and never fails to put me back together when my body starts to remind me that I'm no longer 25.

    She's also a truly great person and I enjoy our conversations almost as much as the massage.

  • Ashley Penning, Manly

    As an active, full-time working mum of two kids ages 3 and under, it's incredibly important to me to have my body not just in working order, but tip top function. Jules has been there with me since before my first pregnancy supporting me pre- and post-natal as my body grew and shifted two times over. She helped work through hip pain, QL tightness, and the resulting problems as an effect of said tightness.

    I also suffer from restless leg syndrome, which she has helped to drastically alleviate through her healing hands. Jules always seems to know the right spots to get into to leave me feeling on a cloud afterwards.

    I always tell people she has "magic hands", but it's more than just that. You get a full release when on her table: mind, body, and spirit.
