Hi! I’m Julia and I’m an award-winning therapist. I founded My Retreat in 2014 and provide exceptional holistic spa therapy experiences from my home in Cullercoats, on the North-East coast of England.
I have built a reputation for 5-star attention to detail, impeccable quality of treatment and service, and creativity in my approach.
I was previously a professional dancer and choreographer. My understanding of the body and movement give my massages a perceptiveness and flow that is difficult to find elsewhere. My therapies are unique in their creativity, often finding inspiration in art, literature, music and places I’ve visited.
As a result of my own personal journey, I also trained as a meditation teacher and Transformational Life Coach, which has led to the creation of My Retreat Life, a self-care and self-development program and community. This is the yang to the yin of the relaxing therapies at My Retreat.
I also offer 1:1 coaching, specialising in habit building, and can provide funded coaching for anyone who identifies as neuro diverse.
I qualified in January 2024 as a menopause well-being practitioner and am studying with my partner Graham to become a sugar addiction recovery coach.
I draw on years of experience as a teacher and trainer, working with women of all ages. I was a GCSE and A Level teacher, examiner, and teacher trainer for 25 years, before establishing My Retreat. I have a post-graduate degree in teaching, which supports my more recent qualifications, and have worked as a volunteer coach for an addictions organisation for 16 years. You can rest assured that you are in good hands.
I aim to bring you a truly special experience, regardless of whether you are engaging with me in person at My Retreat or online for coaching and well-being courses.
My warmth, positivity and passion are infectious; I can put people at ease quickly and nurture my relationship with everyone I meet.
I look forward to connecting to you soon.
