Client Intake Form

Bodywork & Coaching

These include in-person bodywork, massage, and coaching sessions, as well as online coaching sessions

Which service should I choose?

I recommend booking a free 15 minute consultation with Julia, and she can help you navigate our service menu to pick the best option to fit your needs.

How do I prepare for my session?

For your comfort, wear dark clothing that allows easy movement and can get lightly stained (such as oils). Athletic shorts, leggings, t-shirts, sports bra, or loose pants are all great choices. It is also recommended not to eat a heavy meal right before your appointment.

How can I pay you?

Cash is always welcome and preferred. I also accept card, check, PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp. If you booked online, you may also prepay through the booking system for a completely contactless checkout.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

You can manage this through your online account or via the app. Alternatively, feel free to contact us directly. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. Changes made within 24 hours will incur the full session fee. We understand that life can be unpredictable—if an emergency arises, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Do I need to show up early?

If you have already completed your intake form, arriving right on time for your appointment is perfect. If you haven't, please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out the form in our lobby. Regardless, we kindly ask that you wait in the lobby upon your arrival.

Where are you located?

Julia's Treatment room is located in Isch Wellness Center off Jefferson Blvd. in the Sleepy Hollow Professional Suites. Her room in most easily accessed through the B entrance around the back of the building. You can also enter through the A entrance, you will need to go down a flight of stairs to get to her room on the bottom floor. Other services and events are located in different locations. Be sure to check what you are booking and where. All private appointments with Julia are at her treatment room at Isch Wellness Center.

What if I can't see you in person?

We can conduct a Somatic Stress Release Coaching session via Zoom. Please email me if you're interested in this opportunity.

What after care do you recommend?

Stay hydrated and rest for 24 hours after a session, as soreness is common. Take it easy for 36-48 hours, and consider a hot bath with ACV for soreness relief. Your body is adjusting, so be patient and journal if helpful. For extreme discomfort, contact Julia for personalized recommendations.

What is a sliding scale price model?

We understand that everyone’s situation is unique, so we offer a sliding scale pricing model to accommodate different socio-economic backgrounds. If this feels a bit overwhelming, we warmly invite you to consider choosing the standard price option instead.

Should I tip?

Tips are a lovely way to say thanks, but never expected. If you’d like to leave one, please know that tipping our staff is especially meaningful and directly supports their livelihood.

Ecstatic Dance

This practice is freeform dance done in a 90-120 minutes container. Done with no shoes, no talking, and no drugs or alcohol, this movement meditation is intended for healing and liberation.

What do I wear?

Feel free to wear whatever brings you joy—costumes, colorful clothes, wild outfits, or onesies. It's all about being comfortable and authentic, though dressing up is completely optional.

What do I bring?

Feel free to bring a blanket or mat for comfort during the opening and closing circles. You're also welcome to contribute to the altar with something meaningful to you. It could reflect your spirituality, practice, or just be something fun to share. Consider items like a candle, figure, cards, glitter, face paint, scarves, a dancing prop, book, art, poetry, or anything that inspires you.

Where are you located?

We gather for our recurring ecstatic dance sessions at the Fort Wayne Dance Collective, located in downtown Fort Wayne. The address is 437 E Berry St, Suite 203, situated above the Cinema Center. Access is available via stairs and/or an elevator.

When do you meet

Our recurring dance sessions take place on the first Sunday of each month from 6 PM to 8 PM. Be sure to keep an eye on our email newsletter for updates on special events and any changes or additions to our regular schedule.

What if I am late or need to leave early?

This event is open to all individuals, and prior experience is not necessary. It's completely normal to feel a bit hesitant or nervous about attending your first dance. However, most participants quickly find themselves feeling welcomed, comfortable, and free within the space. You’re not obligated to stay for the entire duration; if you realize it’s not your cup of tea, feel free to leave without any hard feelings

What does sliding scale mean?

This approach allows us to ensure that our events remain accessible to everyone while being sustainable for both the organizers and venue providers. Organizing these events requires significant effort and comes with various costs on our part, so it's important for us to cover our time and expenses. Ultimately, we seek a fair energy exchange; if you're interested in a work trade, that option is certainly available as well. Please email us in advance with your request to secure a job.

I want to be a DJ!

If you would like to become one of the rotating DJs, please express your interest here. To participate as a DJ, we ask that you attend at least one dance. Feel free to email us with your interest.
