I'm Julia Blackwell: Kinetix Practitioner + Corrective Exercise & Movement Coach.
My Story
My name is Julia and my passion for this work emerged from my own personal journey.
I was born with Erbs Palsey, a nerve condition that affects the range of motion and strength in my right arm. I practically grew up in an occupational therapy office and thought that the stiff, limited movement in my arm would be my fate.
I decided instead to work tirelessly to change that fate and live the life I wanted, and I even achieved a scholarship to play volleyball at Urbana University. I learned everything I could about anatomy and physiology in school, determined to figure out new ways to improve my condition.
After moving to Colorado in 2010 my life took a turn when I met Elisha and discovered Kinetix. My right arm's look and feel changed more in a few months of fascia work with her than years of therapy.
This was the missing piece I had been waiting for! I quickly pursued learning the technique and have been fascinated by the powerful results of releasing fascia ever since.
I work best with people who have any of these challenges:
Why work with me?
I understand what it is like to struggle with limited mobility and pain. I had tried pretty much every other modality with little to no results.
Kinetix not only quickly improved my range of motion and the ability to use my arm more effectively--it changed my entire perception. After a lifetime of being told "what my limitations were" and how "it wouldn't get any better," I got to question these narrow-minded approaches and become curious.
I was able to use this work as a catalyst to learn about my body and I became HOPEFUL again.
I tried things I didn't think I could do because I no longer felt so trapped in my body. I became so much more adventurous. I started living without the excuse of a "limitation."
If you want to really understand your body, take control of your mobility, and upgrade your quality of life, I'd love to help you on that journey.
