Julie Kells BScKIN., R.M.T.

Julie completed her Bachelor of Science Honours Kinesiology degree in 1996 from the University of Waterloo in Ontario. Having traveled extensively for a year, Julie then returned to Ontario to further her education. It was in 1999 when Julie earned her diploma as a Registered Massage Therapist from D’Arcy Lane Institute of Massage Therapy in London, Ontario.

Upon completion, Julie spent time at clinics practicing both Kinesiology and gaining valuable experience as a massage therapist. Julie’s fondness for the east coast brought her to Halifax in 2000 where she has continued to build experiences as a massage therapist. Julie had a desire to take massage therapy in a new direction and quickly set about building her own clinic focusing on a more integrated approach to healing. In late 2004 Julie expanded her clinic within the YMCA and named it Be.

Julie’s areas of interest are in deep tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, sports therapy, TMJ dysfunction, and working with rehabilitating post stroke patients. Julie combines massage therapy techniques, myofascial techniques, stretching and strengthening exercises to assist in the body’s natural healing process.

Julie has been voted the Best Massage Therapist in The Coast, Best of Halifax, Readers Survey, in 2002, 2003, lost by one vote in 2004 and won again in 2005. She has hand-picked her massage therapists to work at Be. They are all wonderful therapists, and she encourages you to come in and try them all at Be.
