From the reviews

I saw Julian for bodywork because my body often gets stuck in trauma patterns—causing misalignment, pain in my neck, back, hips, and knees, and a sense of shrinking into myself. I had never experienced the technique Julian used before, and it was unlike anything I’ve done.

★★★★★ — K, Oct 2025

Su has an incredible talent. She has learned so much about the human body. I've been having issues with left arm, back, and feet. I'm a nurse who works long hours. Su took the time to get to know me and the struggles I have with my body. The first day I noticed the symptoms in my arm had been alleviated.

★★★★★ — John, Jan 2025

I scheduled a Trager session with Julian because I'm recovering from a back injury and I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck which causes a lot of discomfort and pain. I didn't know much about Trager therapy going in but I can say it's unlike any bodywork I've experienced before.

★★★★★ — Maggie, Nov 2025

I had a Trager session with Julian today and it was unlike any other bodywork I’ve had. Julian’s manner is incredibly caring and respectful. I felt empowered throughout. I fell into an almost trance-like state as he gently manipulated my body in rhythmic patterns.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
