About Julie at Rural Massage

"Every time I visit the stresses of my daily life are forgotten. Julie’s warm, non-judgemental presence and magical touch creates a true sanctuary for ‘me time’."

It's my joy to provide a gentle touch to melt away your stresses and over many years I've perfected my skills. I believe that every body is unique and is to be celebrated, regardless of shape or size, and human touch is essential for our mental and physical well-being.

Clients often say I have a cheeky grin and a down-to-earth nature. I’ll take that—gladly!

Massage, to me, isn’t just a physical experience, it’s a chance for deeper mental relaxation. It’s where a busy life pauses, takes a breath, and begins to recharge. Many clients find the experience therapeutic, and the shift I see from when they arrive to when they leave is often quite remarkable.

My massages are not formulaic, they are bespoke and tailored just for you. Your verbal feedback and your body's natural response helps me create your unique massage. This is how we build the essential rapport, after all massage is an innately intimate experience between the receiver and giver.

I genuinely enjoy my work. Not matter how my day has been, as my client you will always receive my positive energy.

As a mature and experienced masseuse, I bring not just skill but an empathetic listening ear with a lot of life experience. Many clients, especially men, choose to talk about what's going on in their world, knowing they’re in a space where they can speak freely and confidentially, offload worries, feel listened to or simply gain a fresh perspective.

Lots of chatting isn't required of course. It's your time to spend as you wish.

Some clients drift off to sleep, and that’s more than okay too. In fact, it’s a beautiful reminder that they feel safe enough to deeply relax, quite literally, in my hands.

Something to suit everyone

I’m delighted to offer a range of massage packages to suit different needs and lifestyles. From the 1-hour premium massage, through to the ultimate relaxation experience (TLC) complete with sauna and spa time, food platter and, in summer, a dose of vitamin D with sunbathing, there’s an option for you.

I also run The Rural Naturist B&B Retreat for those looking for naturist accommodation.

I’ve created a Frequently Asked Questions page that I hope will answer most of your queries. It's important that I develop a rapport with my clients and that can only be done in person, so the best time to talk through any specifics is face to face. Every client is unique, and some questions simply don’t have a one-size-fits-all answer.

I specialise exclusively in full body relaxation massages for those seeking to unwind. If you're looking for beauty treatments, sports massage, Swedish, Thai, deep tissue, or lymphatic massage, this isn’t the service for you.
