Julianne is a licensed Occupational Therapist, since 1996, who has specialized in a variety of modalities to suite the needs of her clients throughout this time span.  Julianne’s vast experience working with infants all the way through end of life stages, has culminated in the founding of Soulutions For Health LLC, providing holistic treatment and strategies for ultimate body, mind, and soul health to all ages.  Julianne is a certified Fascial Counterstrain manual therapist (CSC1), Health Coach, and Sensory Integration Provider (SIPT certified). 

 

Julianne currently provides Fascial Counterstrain and health coaching services at Nourishing Journey.  Fascial Counterstrain is a gentle, pain free manual therapy, providing relief of trapped inflammation by restoring blood flow to structures of the body.  (See Counterstrain.com) Trapped inflammation may be caused by injury, trauma, illness, chronic medical conditions, repetitive motions, and even dietary inflammation, resulting in pain, edema, weakness or other musculoskeletal dysfunction, headaches, “brain fog”, digestive disorders, and a multitude of other symptoms.   Counterstrain treatment is a touch specific, passive treatment, utilizing mild positioning and decompression through gentle glides to release tender points within the body.  Julianne refers to Counterstrain “as the easiest therapy you will ever receive …… and enjoy”.  Services are also available in your home.

 

Julianne pursued her health coaching certification from Institute of Integrative Nutrition following her own experience of healing herself from chronic pain through dietary and lifestyle changes.  Making simple life changes or additions can make a world of difference, even when you are not ready for big changes.  Julianne can guide you to better health and wellness with strategies that fit your lifestyle.  Fascial Counterstrain and dietary changes complement each other extremely well to decrease chronic pain and dysfunction.

 

Julianne has worked with children with autism, learning disabilities, neurological disorders and varying abilities since she became an OT.  Early in her career, she obtained her SIPT certification (Sensory Integration and Praxis Test) and extensive Sensory Integration (SI) training to address the exploding need for SI treatment for children with autism and Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD).  Her experience includes owning a sensory integration clinic where she also provided reading (Phonographix)/handwriting remediation, social skills training, and motor skills groups.   Fascial counterstrain has been helpful in regulating the nervous systems of children with SPD though application can be more challenging depending on the child’s activity level.  For active children, Sensory Integration / Fascial Counterstrain combined services can be provided at an off site, Ellicott City location.
