About Julie Marie RMT
After earning a Bachelor’s of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa and later a Post-Degree Diploma in Business at Vancouver Island University, and many years working in retail and as a legal assistant, I was unfulfilled and sought greater purpose in life. I wanted to really help people and make a meaningful contribution to society.
In 2018, I decided to pursue massage therapy and enrolled at the best school in BC with the highest student passing rates on provincial registration exams, Vancouver College of Massage Therapy. Then in 2020 I became a Registered Massage Therapist. Since then I have practised in various clinics around Victoria and now I am thrilled to open my own private practise with a relaxation focused approach to therapeutic massage.
While I was a student I was introduced to Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and was fascinated by its healing potential. I pursued my interest in MLD with the Dr. Vodder School International.
I became certified in Level 1 MLD by completing the first 32 hours of the extensive 167 hour program in November 2024, and will earn Level 2 in February 2025. This means I am currently qualified to perform MLD on healthy persons with intact lymph systems.
