About Julie
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by....
I am the founder of Essential Wellbeing Therapies and a passionate advocate for the life enhancing benefits of nurturing touch.
I am a certified massage therapist, infant massage instructor, reiki master and group facilitator based in Melbourne, Australia.
After years of working as a massage therapist and healer my love for holistic health inspired me to also become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor so that I may introduce the numerous benefits of natural health care and nurturing touch to parents and babies alike.
I conduct private and group Baby Massage classes regularly, teaching parents and caregivers how to massage their infant safely and effectively.
I am a member of the Association of Massage Therapists (AMT)

Founder, Massage Therapist, Reiki Master,
Infant Massage Instructor and
Group Facilitator
A percentage of profits from all of my baby massage classes are donated to Yayasan Bumi Sehat in Indonesia.
Their mission is to reduce maternal and child morbidity and mortality, train Indonesian midwifes and support the health and development of communities.
They provide general health services, emergency care, prenatal and postpartum birth services and breast feeding support, plus general education and environmental programs.
The two clinics in Bali and Aceh run on donations as healthcare is expensive in Indonesia - many families have no other options for seeking treatment. Yayasan Bumi Sehat is devoted to working in partnership with people to improve quality of life and to improve peace.
They offer a midwifery scholarship program, a youth centre - teaching computer and English skills to unemployed youth, elder and pregnant exercise classes, and a village-wide recycling program.
