Julia Sage

Julia graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1990 and has deeply enjoyed a busy practice on Vancouver's westside ever since. Over the course of twenty years, she has studied many different assessment and hands-on techniques, and has learned immensely from a widely diverse clientele. She most commonly uses myofascial and trigger point release, muscle energy (subtle, yet profound joint release), and deep tissue massage. Along with postural adjustments, remedial exercises and other self-management strategies, she provides her clients with information they need to understand the mechanics and tendencies of their body.

The satisfaction of being a clinic owner in such a beautiful part of Vancouver is clear to anyone who meets Julia. She couldn’t love Sage Integrated Health more!

The foundation and starting point for my work is a respect for the body's innate capacity to heal. From this core conviction I cherish the opportunity to facilitate and participate in the healing process with my clients.
 
I welcome caring for people of all ages and states of health at any stage of life, with a special interest in pelvic and abdominal conditions, women's health, breath work, and/or anxiety concerns. I strive to create a working partnership where each client leaves a session feeling a step forward in their healing.

Since becoming a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in 2009, I have pursued continued training in myofascial release, visceral manipulation, and craniosacral therapy. I regularly integrate these techniques into my treatments and have been delighted by their immediate and their longer-term efficacy. I also continue to explore the integration of my yoga teacher training into my massage practice, and find the various asana particularly helpful in developing therapeutic exercise programs for the clients under my care.
At Sage I love being part of a team of progressive health care professionals whose practices promote holistic care in a community environment. When I am not at Sage you might catch me riding my chocolate brown Surly, yielding a shovel in my garden, letting go on my yoga mat, or geeking out with an neuroscience text book.
