the soul behind the rituals

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

holistic esthetics and self-care

In holistic esthetics, we use gentle, skin-supporting products and facial methods to restore health and harmony to your skin. We believe that every part of our bodies is beautifully connected. We believe our skin is not only our body’s first line of defense, but its way of telling us when we are experiencing internal imbalance, inflammation, and disease.

I believe aging is a privilege, and that each line, spot, and imperfection tells a beautiful story of a life well-lived.

I believe that as we age, we only become more beautiful through our wisdom, life experiences, and humanity— and that aging is nothing to fight, but to embrace and more reason to take loving care of our whole selves.
