The studio is at Office 9, 42 Green Point Avenue, Plettenberg Bay. Off-street parking is available. Address details and directions are sent with your booking confirmation.
Prices range from R950 (60 minute treatments) to R1,500 (the 120 minute Mekaba session). Full pricing for each treatment is on the Services page.
Payment is collected at the end of your session via cash, EFT or card.
Mid-week and off-season, a few days' notice is usually enough. During Plett's high season (mid-December to mid-January, school holidays, and long weekends), booking a week or more ahead is wise. Same-day bookings are sometimes possible — just ask.
You can cancel any booking up to 24 hours before the start time at no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours, or no-shows, are charged the full session fee. The studio space is held just for you, so this protects both your booking and Julia's time.
The studio is set up for one client at a time, so couples sessions in the same room aren't possible. Back-to-back appointments for couples can sometimes be arranged — ask when booking.
Deep tissue work is firm but never punishing. Pressure is yours to set throughout, and Julia checks in regularly. The intent is release, not pain. If anything is too much, say so — the work adjusts.
Prenatal massage is offered from the second trimester onwards, in a side-lying position with bolster support. It's safe, deeply nurturing, and one of the most popular treatments. If you have any pregnancy complications or your doctor has advised caution, please mention it when booking.
Chi Nei Tsang is an ancient Taoist abdominal massage that works directly with the digestive organs and the emotional patterns held in the belly. It is gentle in pressure but profound in effect. Most clients find it most powerful over a series of three or more sessions.
Mekaba is Julia's signature offering — a 120-minute session combining a full body therapeutic massage with energetic clearing, balancing and activation work. It's the deepest, most integrative session on offer.
Whatever you're comfortable in. Most clients undress to underwear and are draped under towels throughout. You'll have privacy to undress and dress.
Direct medical aid claims are not currently processed. You will receive an invoice on request, which you can submit to your medical aid for possible out-of-network reimbursement (this varies by scheme).
Yes — gift cards are available for any treatment or value. They make particularly good birthday, Christmas, and "thank you" gifts. WhatsApp Julia for a gift card.
There is one step at the studio entrance. Please mention any mobility considerations when booking and we can make a plan.
