Julie Gladstone
Reiki & Acupressure Massage Practitioner | Energy Intuitive | Yoga Instructor
Julie Gladstone is an artist, energy healer and senior yoga instructor with more than 20 years teaching experience. A former acupuncturist, she studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at the AIM Institute in Toronto and ran a thriving private practice in the Annex.
She received her first Reiki Usui attunement in Mexico in 2001 and her second attunement from the Rock Store in 2017. A life long practitioner, student and teacher of Meditation, she has studied in the Vipassana tradition, as well as Mindfulness Meditation and Yin Yoga with Sarah and Ty Powers. Ongoing mentorship in Alchemical Healing with Lorie Dechar (author of Five Spirits: Alchemical Acupuncture for Psychological and Spiritual Healing, her yoga practice includes essential oils, acupoints, flower essences, dreamwork and somatic inner sensing.
Julie’s body and energy work draw from her extensive training and experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, alchemical healing, reiki, essential oil therapy, somatic inner work and ancestral healing. Each session cultivates a sacred container within which to spiral down and activate healing through layers: from the physical, to the emotional, the energetic, and spiritual. As an empath and an artist, Julie cultivates space so that each session can become an opportunity to disconnect from the stimulus of the external world, release patterns of tension and reconnect inwards.
Julie also holds a Masters of Fine Arts from OCAD University in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design. The former owner of Gallery 555, a yoga studio, acupuncture clinic and art gallery, Julie brings her creativity, intuition and multifaceted background to each class. She currently lives in Etobicoke with her husband and four year old daughter Skye.
My Services
60 min Aromatherapy Massage with Essential Oils
A deeply relaxing, multi sensory massage using essential oils, acupoints and meridian therapy to melt away tension and release emotions stored in the body. Julie uses essential oils instead of acupuncture needles to create a blissful experience for deep relaxation and nervous system resetting. Using customized blends of essential oils, each treatment moves through and rebalances the energy flow of the meridian pathways to support healing on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Sessions may include guided visualizations, breathwork and intuitive messages.
Julie brings her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Tuina massage, reiki, yoga and alchemical healing to each session. Her essential oil blends are chosen to complement the changing seasons and to address the particular healing journey of each client.
(75 min) Reiki Healing with Aroma-point Therapy + Crystals
Begin your Reiki healing session with aromapoint therapy! Receive a 3- point treatment with essential oils, to prepare the body for reiki healing. Essential oils will be paired with specific acupoints to reset the nervous system, connect with intuition, ground into the body and find your centre. You will then be guided with some breathwork into a state of relaxation as we move into the Reiki session. Reiki is an energy healing modality in which Universal Healing Energy is channeled and directed through the 7 major energy centres in the body (The Chakra system) as well as the smaller energy centre in the arms, hands, legs and feet. Energetically cleansed crystals will be paired with and placed on the Chakra centres for further alignment, grounding and balancing.
Aroma Flow Yoga
Julie’s class will guide you through flowing sequences that offer pauses, deep holds and spaces to go within; releasing areas of tension and constriction with breath-work, guided meditation, meridian stretching and essential oils. This practice creates a sacred space to move, release, reset the nervous system and connect with intuition. Each class will offer an essential oil and acupoint combination for deeper healing, and alignment with the energetics of the season.
