Julie Robbins, LMT

I recently went for a massage at Westville Massage. Julie was excellent; she clearly knows the anatomy. The place is lovely, and I’ve already scheduled a second appointment. Her massage is not just for women who are pregnant… it’s so therapeutic and relaxing! Diana

At 40 weeks and feeling achy, my parents surprised me with a massage with Julie. Bottom line: it was lovely and pampering and relaxing, and I am looking forward to going back after I deliver! Her manner, kindness, and excellent skill as a masseuse made me feel cared for and honestly made me feel more comfortable in my own body (not an easy task at 40 weeks pregnant.) I went from feeling huge, tired, and achy to feeling relaxed and beautiful. She spent lots of time on my back, which was what I asked for, but also lots on my feet (amazing) and even my ribs– which I hadn’t asked for but really needed. She knows exactly what she’s doing for a pregnant body!
Logistics: Julie is truly a one woman shop– don’t expect a big spa experience with a receptionist, walls of products for sale, etc. I see this as a good thing. It’s just Julie, her office space, and the massage table (of course nice low lighting and relaxing music once the massage starts.) Also, pay attention to the directions she sends ahead of time — it could be a little hard to find if you don’t. And if you haven’t gotten a prenatal massage before, know that it’s a little more challenging to get comfortable than a standard massage, since you can’t lie on your stomach or back. Julie has lots of special pillows and makes it easy as possible, but this is why I am looking forward to going back to her postpartum– she’s an excellent masseuse and without a 40 week belly to accommodate I think I’ll be even more in heaven if that’s possible.

I just had a prenatal massage from Julie Robbins and it was wonderful! I am in my second trimester and was having some back issues. She made all my stress melt away and my back felt so much better! I would highly recommend!

I had a prenatal massage from Julie at the end of 37 weeks. It was wonderful! She was very professional, but welcoming and sweet. The massage was extremely relaxing and she kept me comfortable, even being so pregnant. I would go back to Jule in a heartbeat and hope I have the opportunity to visit again. Highly recommended!

I received a massage from Julie at 35 weeks and it was extremely helpful. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. The massage definitely helped with the pains that come with carrying all the added weight. I would highly recommend her for a prenatal massage.

When I had passed my due date and feeling both uncomfortable and anxious, Julie’s warm and knowledgable approach to prenatal care was exactly what I needed. Not only did her touch do wonders to melt away the tension I was carrying, she sat with me and talked with me and gave me useful ways to realign my perspective and to cope with the challenges of pregnancy. I cannot recommend her more highly. Of all the things that I have done to nurture myself during my pregnancy, the time I spent with Julie was the most valuable to me physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
