Julia was born and raised in Eagan, MN and grew up playing a variety of sports including soccer, volleyball, basketball, and Ultimate frisbee. She still plays Ultimate for the MN club team! Julia’s interest in physical therapy developed after sustaining a foot injury while playing high school volleyball. She was able to see the power of movement, body awareness, education, and the mind-body connection. Julia attended St. Louis University for both college and grad school where she earned her Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She has special interests in both neuro rehab and women’s health, and was able to practice her clinical skills in these settings throughout graduate school and in her time working at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. Outside of physical therapy, Julia has completed her 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training and currently is an instructor at Yoga Six. She also is an ACE certified fitness instructor and personal trainer, and coaches/trains at Title Boxing Club. Julia hopes to bridge the gaps between rehab, fitness, and mindfulness. As a PT, she takes a proactive approach to empower others to make movement a habit through the mind body connection + the constant desire to feel your best. She utilizes a wide range of treatments including manual therapy, strength training, dry needling, movement analysis and gait training, and vestibular therapy. She also has completed continuing education courses on pelvic health and nutrition. Julia strives to educate others to learn to use their body in a way that is most effective for them. Over time, she has learned that stress is inevitable…How can we take care of our bodies now so that we are better equipped to deal with the stressors to come?

Julia hopes to further her education in women’s health, functional nutrition, and neuro rehab- especially as it relates to athletes. She plans to continue to explore the relationship between physical therapy, fitness, and mindfulness as they all compliment each other. In her free time, Julia enjoys yoga, boxing, ultimate frisbee, hiking, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and her dog Rosie.

Michael is a Minnesota-born-and-trained bodyworker. He completed a 230-hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 and a 60-hr Yoga, Bodies, & Touch workshop in 2017 at Your Yoga Uptown. He later attended CenterPoint Massage and Shiatsu School and Clinic where he was trained in eastern Namikoshi Shiatsu and Shiatsu Anma along with western therapeutic myofascial trigger point therapy and classic relaxation massage modalities. Most recently he completed a Thai Yoga Bodywork course which covered the resemblance of the Thai Sen Energy Line System and the Anatomy Trains. His purpose in bodywork is to help people feel comfort in their bodies during everyday activities — whether active or sedentary — through maintenance and recovery massage methods.

Bodywork came into his life through a series of self-assessment stepping stones. Eventually he wanted to deepen his passion for self-care through a yoga teacher training, where he was introduced to self-massage techniques, myofascial meridians, and the basics of bodywork. Shortly after he pursued a degree in massage therapy. There is a clear thread of self-care and self-love woven through his journey, and that is what he hopes to encourage through his therapeutic touch.

Michael plans to continue his bodywork education in structural integration and connective tissue massage therapies. You can find him on any given day enjoying time with his wife Gigi and step-son Myka. In his spare time, he enjoys gardening, bike riding, kayaking, hiking, yoga, and time in nature.
