My Healing and Bodywork

I am a Healer who facilitates one’s own Self-Healing.  My open-heartedness; intuitive gifts and loving touch – provide the fertile ground for profound healing.

 

Through my bodywork you connect with your Freedom… to experience your life with the freedom from pain; freedom of movement; freedom from self-limiting constraints; learn about the freedom of self-expression and the freedom to experience your life in an authentic way. Through my bodywork you will learn about having the freedom to connect with your body’s energy and to have the freedom to connect with your intuition and own wisdom to guide you to make choices for your own life, so that you may live authentically and feel fulfilled.

 

My reverence for the Sacredness of Bodywork and with my understanding and acceptance of the physicality of energy within our whole body, allows you to feel safe to experience your own body’s energy and a deeper connection with yourself. It is through this deep connection and developing self-awareness where the greatest healing occurs, because one becomes more available and attuned to listening to one’s own inner wisdom.

 

I recognise that life can only be lived through experience. Although these words here satisfy the mind’s desire to choose and ‘know’ a little about my approach…it is only through experiencing my bodywork that you have the opportunity to feel the connection with yourself – which is where healing occurs.

 

My lifelong experience in the field of bodywork, healing and teaching means that I draw upon many modalities of touch, massage and energy work; and through my uniquely loving and nurturing approach, work intuitively with every individual to facilitate energy movement and balance within the body; opening the way for connection, self-awareness and healing.

 

I work in particular in supporting ‘healing the healer’…. ‘nurturing the nurturer’…. ‘replenishing the giver’; and also teach practitioners about the essence of one’s own energy as a practitioner – and how one can gain more personal clarity to support the energy movement and healing within their clients.

 

For more information please contact me by email – Julie’s e-mail

Credentials:

I studied Human Movements and taught High School Physical Education and Outdoor Education, and have pursued my interest in health- and reverence for the human body; throughout my whole life. I recognise the importance of balance and harmony in one’s life; as well developing one’s self-awareness as the key to healing and living a fulfilled life.

 

Although I commenced my massage training in the field of Sports Massage whilst studying Physical Education, I then commenced my own massage and Bodywork practice.  In 2002 I completed Radiant Light Yoga Teacher training with Adam and Akash Bornstein.

 

I have learned from my peers and colleagues over many years; and draw upon several modalities of bodywork including Kahuna, Shiatsu, Lymphatic Drainage, Relaxation, Lomi-Lomi, Reiki,  Thai massage and Hot Stone Therapy.

 
My beautiful Healing Room is situated on a quiet property in the

Sunshine Coast

About the Author: Julie
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist. There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it. It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am. “In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it. Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”

🧐 Curious 🎨 Creative 💪🏻 Living Boldly! @idoamazingthings 😁 Content with wool in my hands Artisan weaver of blankets and wraps. Pop to my website
  • “Wow, you’re a weaver. Love to visit your studio Julie. What type of loom do you have?” I explain briefly .. “Oh”…. And then a loooooonggg pause.

Most people’s idea of a weaving loom is the equivalent of the Lamborghini of the loom realms; but mine is quite the opposite; yet produces luxury fabrics for my soulful handwoven blankets based on my adventurous journeys around the world. 

I’m using what’s called a ‘rigid heddle loom’, by Ashford.  @ashford_wheels_looms 

It’s a simple loom and I can stand and walk instead of sitting. I’m a mover - lol; and this loom is perfect for me. 

So, there is no need to be disappointed that my loom is ‘just a rectangle’. 

A small number of pieces from my next Series will be available soon. 

If you’ve enjoyed my reel, love you to follow and share it with a friend or repost on your feed; and for more and notification when pieces go online to purchase - tap Link in Bio!

  • Here I’m weaving with my rigid heddle loom, where I stand and walk rather than sitting to weave my artisan handwoven blankets, all based on my experiences travelling the world. 

Watch to find out more about a ‘pick’ and PPI.. and how the sloooooow process of repetitively moving the shuttle from side to side, creates beautiful items which bring comfort and warmth. 

I respect and value the traditions of hand weaving, and enjoy feeling my feet and repetitive steps on these beautiful handwoven rugs from @the_rug_shop

Each piece is unique. The rhythm of my hands and steps; the behaviour of the yarn; the decisions made in the moment rather than imposed in advance. As an artist, little is planned in my weaving.

Here I’m weaving with my rigid heddle loom, where I stand and walk rather than sitting to weave my artisan handwoven blankets, all based on my experiences travelling the world.  Watch to find out more about a ‘pick’ and PPI.. and how the sloooooow process of repetitively moving the shuttle from side to side, creates beautiful items which bring comfort and warmth. I respect and value the traditions of hand weaving, and enjoy feeling my feet and repetitive steps on these beautiful handwoven rugs from @the_rug_shop If you’ve found this interesting, love for you to share and repost with your friends. Come follow me on my weaving journeys. Link in Bio.  New Series pieces available soon! #artisanmade #weaver #handwovenluxury #uniquegiftideas #madebyhand

Memories of my experiences of journeys across the world come to life again in my studio. My current series is founded on our wonderful time in Kolkata. I loved Kolkata. The sounds. The colour. The warmth from others. Here in my studio, nothing is rushed. Each piece is woven carefully with intention. Each piece is unique. The rhythm of my hands and steps; the behaviour of the yarn; the decisions made in the moment rather than imposed in advance. As an artist, little is planned in my weaving. Come and read my journal notes from Kolkata and have a peek side my studio. My E-Zine is now available. Link in Bio. #uniquegift #slowmade #kolkatastreets #artisanmade #interiordecor

Reveal time! The city of inspiration for my current series is Kolkata; starting with my memories of Mullik Ghat Flower Markets. Kolkata was the beginning of our drive in our 1923 Vauxhall through India, Bhutan and Myanmar. I had the most wonderful time in Kolkata. Have you ever been there? Come spend some time vicariously experiencing Kolkata through my Studio E-Zine; where I share my Journal notes from Kolkata and a sneak peek into my Studio and how my inspiration from the Mullik Ghat flower markets have inspired my current series of handwoven blankets. I’ve just started this new account, so if you’ve been interested in my posts, love you could share them to spread the luv! ♥️ My E-Zine; Kolkata Journal; and a peek into my Studio - is available - Link in Bio.

My weaving is deeply rooted in my experience. My remote journeys and experiences continue to move through me as I weave. 

Although weaving involves repetitive tasks, my movements are intentional and connected to my spirit, memory and experiences. Weaving for me is far more than a physical task. It is art; my voice through my hands. 

Thank you for joining in with me to guess where my memories are from for my current Series. Here are some more clues in the photographs. 

DM your guess where you think this place is. Looking forward to reading where you think!
