"I am a bodyworker and have been in the business a long time. I have had literally hundreds of massages in my life and I can say without hesitation that Julia is one of the very best bodyworkers I have ever experienced. With Julia as your bodyworker you have someone with a very high skill level, a comprehensive understanding of mode and technique, a thorough knowledge of the physical body, and great hands. But this is just the beginning. Her greatest strength is an intuitive understanding of the correct approach to each of the challenges that the physical body presents. She judges correctly without fail and applies the most appropriate healing mode, the right amount of pressure, and the most effective technique. Further, Julia is rare among bodyworkers in that she displays an extra-ordinary attention to detail and great patience. If you are looking for a bodyworker whose skill, commitment, and dedication goes far beyond the usual and predictable session then Julia is the practitioner that I recommend."

"Julia is an incredible healer. She is able to deeply perceive and to clearly and compassionately articulate what is going on both on the emotional/spiritual level and on the physical level. Her rare combination of medical intuition along with very healing hands on work has really helped me move forward. I highly recommend Julia's work."
--Ananda Apfelbaum, LMT, author of Thai Massage, Sacred Bodywork
"Julia was able to see inside my body and tell me very clearly what was going on with my low back pain, where it was and what I was holding onto. She then was able to give me workable recommendations as to how I could start to heal my back. She did all this without me telling her anything about myself. She has a true gift and I strongly recommend her services to anyone that happens to be living in a body. I have used her services a number of times and she is right on every time."
--Steve Berger, Life Coach
"Julia's work is potent, deep and unique. Allow yourself to receive her wonderful touch and energy!"
--Suzanne Sterling; recording artist, teacher and facilitator
"How lucky I am to have access to Julia Bystrova. I hold her as one of the best bodyworkers around (and she is so much more than that too!) Julia always uses the exact pressure, technique and energy that is right for me. Other people feel like they are just exploring on me. Julia always seems to already know exactly what I need, and her intuition for my issues is right on. I leave ready to face my life with new energy and focus."
--Julia D. Stege, MFA
"I’ve been to many massage therapists and body workers in my life, but Julia ranks among the very best. Anyone can give a pleasant body rub, but she combines extensive knowledge of physiology and expertise in working the body with a holistic healing approach that goes well beyond simple stress relief. In addition to Julia's expertise, Julia has a marvelous 'healing' energy that adds to my sense of peace whenever I visit. If you’re looking for deeper healing and want more than just a massage, I highly recommend her.”
--Tim Smith; Marketing Consultant
"Massage with Julia Bystrova is - well yes - a massage, and more than that, bodywork – yes - and more than that. If you are wanting more from the massage experience you are currently having, I highly recommend you work with her. She is skilled with talent, knowledge and a bit of alchemy too!"
--K.D.A.
I just want to thank you for the sound healing journey! I was touched so deeply that I didn't want to disturb the state I went into during the evening to really let you know how great I thought it was.
It's like I got reconnected with some of my spiritual parts that I had put on the back burner while I got carried away with all of my work and travels this year. I went so deep.
