Julie Niegsch BS, NCBTMB

Julie is a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist who graduated from East-West College of Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon in 2001. In addition to massage therapy, Julie is a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist with a BS in Sport, Health, Leisure and Physical Studies from the University of Iowa. Julie has an extensive background in Kinesiology and Therapeutic Rehabilitation massage techniques which she combines with relaxing Swedish to provide an overall balanced experience. She is fascinated with how the body moves. After going through a severe back injury of her own, she believes that maintaining a stable core through Pilates and receiving massage regularly can help individuals move through injuries and imbalances while taking responsibility for their own health and well being. She loves what she does, and her passion for Bodywork is demonstrated in her creative mix of trigger point, myofacial, Swedish, and deep tissue techniques that are flowing and effective. In addition to having a successful private practice, Julie taught at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy in Playa Samara as a visiting instructor for Kinesiology and Alternative Medicine. She is available on Wednesday evenings, so book your appointment today.
