Julie is an experienced massage therapist at Massage Therapy Center in Palo Alto, trained at the San Francisco Bodi Panay Thai Massage Institute. Her background includes both Eastern and Western massage traditions, allowing her to draw from a variety of techniques and tailor each session to the individual client.

Julie works with clients seeking relief from persistent muscle tension and stiffness, as well as those looking to relax, reduce everyday stress, improve flexibility, and support more comfortable movement. Her approach is attentive and individualized, with an emphasis on listening carefully to each client’s concerns, preferred pressure, and goals for the session.

Drawing from her training in different bodywork traditions, Julie adapts her techniques rather than providing the same massage to every client. Whether the goal is focused therapeutic work or a deeply relaxing experience, she strives to create a comfortable environment where clients can slow down and reconnect with their bodies.

Julie believes massage can be a valuable part of a healthy lifestyle and an ongoing wellness routine. Her goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized bodywork that supports relaxation, mobility, and overall well-being.

Outside of her massage practice, Julie enjoys reading, walking, spending time in nature, and relaxing with close friends.

“Julie was great. She ask if there was any particular area she should focus on. I left it up to her decision. She notice I had a lot of tension in my shoulder and neck area. I notice when I got in my car how relaxed I felt all over. Thanks”

★★★★★ Victoria F., Wellness Living Review

“Julie, listens to your needs before the massage and addresses any issues you may have going on. Her massages are perfection. She checks in to make sure pressure is correct. You will not be disappointed in this masseuse at all! She is quiet and respectful and very knowledgeable about the body!”

★★★★★ Barbara R., Wellness Living Review

“JulieZ is a very effective massage therapist. She found muscle tension “knots” in my neck & calves that I had no idea were there. I really appreciate all the time & effort she’s made to develop her skills; it’s a lot of work. And I, of course, appreciate her willingness to share those skills with her clients. I felt a lot better after my session. Compliments!”
