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
Reiki-infused Aromatherapy Massage with Acupressure
Julie’s signature blend of intuitive massage with Reiki is informed by her training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tuina massage alchemical healing, Reiki and guided somatic meditation. Treatments are designed around the Meridian pathways and acupoints to activate healing on the parasympathetic nervous system, and control points to unbind deep held areas of tension. Custom selected essential oils work therapeutically with the acupoints for healing on the physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological level. Treatments are designed to release stagnation and tension in the body, while supporting inner connection to intuition, creating a sacred space for healing and resetting on a deep level.
Reiki Energy Healing (75 min)
We will begin your healing session with introductions in warm lighting, aromatherapy, candle light and relaxing music. As you lay down and get comfortable, I will ask the Reiki energy to begin to flow with the intention of your healing. Before the hands on healing (or off -your choice) I will assess the flow of energy in each of the main 7 chakras. We will begin the Reiki healing process with a relaxing body scan and relaxing breath work while the Reiki Energy begins to flow through you. You have the choice of receiving intuitive messages during or after the Reiki process depending on how you feel that day. We will close the session with an energy clearing and I will give you guidance on how you can support your healing in between your Reiki Sessions as I believe that each individual is powerful in their own healing. You have the option for a complimentary oracle card reading for some extra guidance and support.
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.
