you are your guru,

i am your guide

I’m Julie, the owner and Licensed Esthetician of Ritual Beauty.

The first thing you need to know is that this is not a normal spa and I am not a normal esthetician. I am not the keeper of beauty secrets. I am not the all-knowing skincare guru. I am a woman who is dedicated to helping other women feel amazing. I have worked in the beauty world for over thirteen years, and every year, I get more and more tired of the made-up beauty standards and trends that women are told they are valued by. I’m not here for it. I believe beauty comes from joy, balance, from feeling seen, understood, and cared for.

I hold space for you to be in your body

I hold space for you to meditate on the feeling of being cared for

I hold space for you to feel safe and seen

I hold space for your sorrow and pain

I hold space for your joy and fun

Ultimately, I am a space holder and Ritual is a container for healing, and feeling your absolute best.

I can’t wait to work with you and remind you of your magic.

In Holistic Esthetics, we treat skin from the perspective that it is connected to every other part of the body. Your nervous system, mental health, gut, and skin are a web of beautiful connections that speak through the skin. I help translate what your body is telling you, and through nature, science, and healing touch, I help you bring harmony and healing to your whole self.
