Internationally qualified therapeutic massage and intuitive healing in a private, peaceful studio.
Body, mind and spirit — held with care, depth and skill.
Perhaps what you need most is one hour of nothing planned, nothing to attend, nothing to do — simply space to breathe, and to listen to your soul exhale.
Meraki is a private massage and healing studio led by Julia Holmes, an internationally qualified therapist with two decades of practice. Whether you are recovering from injury, easing chronic tension, navigating a season of stress, or simply seeking a deeper reset — every session is tailored to your body, your story, and what is needed today.
Each treatment is shaped around your body and your needs. Pressure, technique and pacing are always yours to choose.

Every session a meeting.
Julia trained internationally in advanced massage therapy, lymphatic drainage, sports massage, prenatal therapy, craniosacral work and Chi Nei Tsang abdominal release. She brings to her work a deep grounding in the body's mechanics — and an equally deep listening to the energetic body that lives alongside it.
Clients return again and again because Julia's hands know how to find what has been held, and her presence makes it safe enough to release.
