I am a Feminine Embodiment Coach & practitioner of Holistic Pelvic Care (aka vagina massage) & my mission is to bring women into deep, reverent presence within their own sacred pelvic space. It's my belief that we can't really be grounded & feel safe in the body if we are not able to be present for ourselves within the pelvis & womb space. I love to empower those who I work with by guiding & facilitating this work rather "healing" them, because my view is "you are not broken & I am not here to fix you", but life has left it's marks & vulnerabilities & am definetitly here to show you how you can more through these & bring in more flow, whilst releasing the stuck, dark, negative shiz.

Julie Kirby
Bowen Practitioner
What is the best doorway to health and a good life lived? I have been exploring this question for 40 plus years. My conclusion is there are many doorways but Bowen can be such a profound reminder of what it is to fully occupy, be and move a body, your body, as well as integrate and connect you with all of you. From that place of being it is possible to calm the mind and have the energy to choose to really live.
