About

Credentials: Graduated from the University of Washington, BS in Psychology, 1986 Graduated from University of Puget Sound MPT, 1990 Hellerwork certification 1996 In my experiences I noticed how much I enjoyed working closely with the patients, using hands-on manual skills, movement and dialogue to help them make the changes in their bodies that needed to be made to heal. While taking myofascial release and manual therapy courses, I was introduced to Hellerwork. I felt at home. Here I could address all the aspects of the person, approach healing on all levels. I've added much to the process that I learned there and bring my own unique experiences and expertise that I have gained over the years. I learned to follow my heart, my gut and my mind when it comes to what I want to learn and what techniques I want to bring to my practice to better serve the people I am privileged to work with. My approach is more holistic than the typical physical therapy practice, my focus is on the whole iJulia Anderson MPT, CHP, COMS has been a licensed physical therapist since 1990, certified Hellerwork practitioner since 1996, certified orthopedic movement specialist since 2014.
