Meet Julie

​Welcome to The Wellness Room, my name is Julie and as a Nurse, Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and Complementary Therapist, my passion is helping people. 

As the granddaughter of spiritual healers, my grandmother always encouraged me to develop my skills. However, as a young woman, wife and mother, my time was taken up with all the ups and downs that this brought. So life took over, I put my interests on the back burner for a while until the need to get back into learning became more than just a little whisper. Gaining qualifications in Swedish Massage, Basic Sports Injuries, Indian Head Massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology & Reiki Levels I and II was just the beginning of my journey into helping others. 
While helping the family with the therapies that I had learnt, I went on to work as a Health Care Assistant and later Health Care Support Worker (after gaining an NVQ), on the Cardiac Ward (B2) at Broomfield Hospital. Leaving B2 after two years, to attend Anglia Ruskin University, studying Adult Nursing. Later attending Anglia Ruskin University for a second time, to study Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (Health Visitor). Fast forward a few years, the pandemic hit while I was back working at Broomfield Hospital and my eyes were opened to how things were changing, not just within the health service but worldwide. I decided that I wanted to help people in a way that was different to the hospital environment and that's when The Wellness Room started to come together. 

Re-doing Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Reiki I & II from scratch, before adding more therapies into the mix, The Wellness Room was born! 

Since then, I have found that doing anatomy and physiology in many different formats, over many years, working with consultants in an array of specialities; has given me a huge advantage and understanding in looking after the ladies that have already visited The Wellness Room. The likes of which you would not find in a salon or spa. I have encouraged them to help themselves by researching topics relevant to their own physical and mental well-being, empowering them to seek the advice of their GP in the area’s that I have found during the consultation process and whilst treating them.

I thoroughly enjoy helping these ladies relax and unwind, improving their physical and mental well-being by giving them bespoke treatments to suit their needs.

More Information on our Therapies

Massage - a therapeutic technique used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Massages are often used to promote relaxation, relieve stress and anxiety, improve circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and enhance overall well-being. 

Aromatherapy Massage - as above but the therapist uses essential oils to enhance the massage experience.

Lymph Drainage Massage - this is a gentle massage technique that is designed to stimulate the lymphatic system to promote the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. This type of massage can help to reduce swelling and inflammation, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. It involves light, rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow in the body, and is typically performed on the arms, legs, neck, and torso. Lymph drainage massage can be beneficial for individuals with lymphatic system disorders, as well as those seeking to support their overall health and well-being.

Facial Rejuvenation Massage - this is a non-invasive, holistic approach to improving the appearance of the face. It involves a combination of traditional massage techniques and acupressure points to stimulate circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and encourage relaxation of facial muscles. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness, as well as improve skin tone and texture. Overall, facial rejuvenation massage is a gentle and effective way to promote healthy, radiant-looking skin.

Reflexology -  this is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific areas on the feet to promote healing and relaxation throughout the body. It is based on the principle that these areas, known as reflex points, correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By stimulating these reflex points, reflexology aims to improve circulation, reduce tension, and restore balance in the body. Reflexology can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, and digestive issues, among others.

Hot Stones Reflexology - this is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones placed on specific points on the body. The stones used are typically basalt stones, which are known for their ability to retain heat. We will use the stones to massage the feet and legs, applying pressure to specific reflex points to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and alleviate pain. Hot stone reflexology is believed to have originated in ancient China and has been used for centuries to promote healing and balance in the body.

Hot Stones Massage - this involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The therapist places the stones on specific points on the body to help relax muscles and increase blood flow. The heat from the stones can also help to reduce pain and promote relaxation. Hot stone massage can be a great option for those looking for a more relaxing and soothing massage experience.

Indian Head Massage - this is a form of therapeutic massage that originated in India over a thousand years ago. It focuses on the head, neck, and shoulder areas, and uses a combination of techniques such as kneading, rubbing, and squeezing to relieve tension and promote relaxation. In addition to its physical benefits, Indian Head Massage is also known for its mental and emotional benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving concentration, and enhancing overall well-being.

Reiki - this is a Japanese healing technique that uses the practitioner's hands to channel energy to the recipient. The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life force energy" and it is believed that by manipulating this energy, the body's natural healing processes can be activated. Reiki can be used to address physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances and is often used as a complementary therapy to traditional medical treatment. The recipient will typically lie down or sit comfortably while the practitioner places their hands on or near the body, allowing the energy to flow. Reiki is non-invasive and does not require any physical manipulation of the body.

Hopi Ear Candling - this is a relaxing and non-invasive treatment for your ears which also includes a mini facial to relax your facial muscles and sinuses. Hopi Ear Candling can help reduce excessive ear wax, sinusitis, colds, ​hay fever, tension headaches, tinnitus, stress and sleep issues.  This treatment can be performed on both adults and children.

Celluma LED Light Therapy - ideal for pain management, skin conditions and hair restoration, Celluma LED light therapy devices use specific wavelengths of light energy to improve cellular health by accelerating the repair and replenishment of compromised tissue cells for enhanced results.
