I had a very powerful MFR session with Juliya, she is a true professional. I loved everything from the very beginning. The space was very welcoming and comfortable, I fell at ease right away.
Juliya was very detailed and thorough at gathering my history and making sure she covered everything, as well as very observant about my body. The session itself was quite pleasant and relaxing, Juliya was very gentle and careful around tender spots in my body. Very soon I was immersed into gentle, yet powerful body work. What was very interesting about the session is that the connection between physical manipulation of the tissue and emotional release that came with it, became very clear to me. At some point during the session I also had a very meaningful realization about past traumas in my body and their connection with the rest of my body. Overall, it was a very special and meaningful experience that I hope to repeat again.

I came to Juliya with many aches and pains, an accumulation after years of surgeries and stresses. Juliya helped me feel safe and cared for and was clear that we would work as a team. Specifically, Juliya was successful in treating my chronic, stubborn tail bone pain with a combination of in-office MFR techniques and some guided home care with a small yellow ball which she gave to me. Juliya said the ball would become my new best friend, and boy has it! In addition to improving my physical aches and pains, Juliya and her MFR techniques have helped clear out old emotional 'goo' -- it is hard to know which feels better -- eliminating physical pain or cleaning out old emotions. I am grateful to Juliya for her gentle, steady, optimistic presence.

I’m a longtime very satisfied client of Juliya Ivanilova’s practice. My body and mind-set are much better for her skilled attention. In addition to leaving each session with a wonderful feeling of well-being, she has helped alleviate several of my trouble areas. Notably, in my case, leg, hip, and foot pain felt in long walks are now almost gone, and even I think that my insomnia has also been alleviated.
Although MFR is her primary approach, like the talented artist she is, Juliya utilizes a holistic approach including physical therapy and other methods. Juliya has a firm understanding of anatomy and its complex interconnections with the fascia, muscles, and mind. Because of this, she has an extraordinary sensitivity to spot areas needing attention.
I have learned that this is not a quickie one-session miracle, but a steady sustained process in which both the symptoms and the underlying sources are addressed. Juliya helps me become more sensitive to my body’s signals so that I can become more active participant in the healing process; Her suggestions for exercises between sessions are very valuable. I would be much worse for wear without Juliya’s healing hands.

… I came to [Juliya] with aches and pains, knowing that I had developed some awkward posturing over the years. She was very welcoming and honest about the different ways that my body was imbalanced. Throughout the treatment Juliya pointed out areas that needed attention, and taught me how to treat myself at home. I eventually went to a sports medicine doctor, and his examination and X-rays confirmed all of the issues that Juliya discovered during my treatment. Further, he was thrilled that I was being treated for myofascial release. Juliya truly follows a holistic approach to well-being and has taught me the importance of paying attention to all parts of my body, and to let my body show me where attention is immediately needed. My self-care regiment has completely changed for the better thanks to Juliya.
