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 self-care

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.
