Julia Straley began her journey in therapeutic bodywork after graduating from Sister Rosalind’s School of Massage in Fargo in 2003. With a deep interest in holistic healing, she was drawn to Craniosacral Therapy and took her first course through the Upledger Institute in 2010. Since then, Julia has continued her professional development by studying SomatoEmotional Release, as well as specialized training in conception/pregnancy/birth and pediatric care.
A strong believer in empowering families, Julia is certified to teach infant massage to parents, helping them build meaningful connections with their babies through safe, nurturing touch.
Beyond her clinical practice, Julia brings the same intentionality and care to her creative life. She is an avid maker with passions spanning knitting, sewing, quilting, crochet, pottery, woodworking, and both watercolor and acrylic painting. A true nurturer at heart, she also delights in being a plant foster parent, tending to greenery with the same mindful attention she offers her clients.
Whether working with newborns, children, or adults, Julia integrates skill, compassion, and creativity into every session—providing a space for healing and connection at every stage of life.
