"I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, (a type of arthritis were your bones start fusing together) I was getting no relief from massage, chiropractor, physio, sometimes they would make the pain worse. Until I meet Julia, her gentle approach using Ortho-Bionomy has helped my body stay mobile, reduced my pain, keeps my body in alignment. Not only does she help my back pain, Julia also helps and gives me techniques to handle day to day stressors, through her wonderful knowledge of all things human body. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Julia!" - Ph. H. Central Otago

"With the help of Julia and her work with Ortho-Bionomy I now have significantly less bone ache during the night. (located in the upper thigh, groin area) I have had this for some time and I was checked by doctors, x-rayed, scanned but to no avail. However, with Julia and within two sessions I could finally sleep throughout the night. Very impressed with her gentle process of working with you, the very non invasive treatment work. Her empathy of what you have happening and most importantly her understanding of the body and how it works. I would highly recommend seeing Julia and trying this well trained practitioner and trusting Ortho-Bionomy and the way it works with you and your body."

"I resonate with the quote 'healing also means taking an honest look at the role you play in your own suffering' by Iyanla Vanzant. Since discovering Ortho-Bionomy with Julia, I've experienced remarkable changes emotionally, mentally, and particularly physically. Ortho-Bionomy helped me integrate my 'physical' trauma memories. It's like counselling, but solely focuses on my body. It has significantly improved my well-being and quality of life. Gosh! Such a difference!"

"I first knew of Julia when she spoke at a group meeting and she tweeked my interest in both what she said and in what others had to say about their results. A very tired overworked body decided one day that it would rebel and while physio helped I knew there was more that could and should be done. After just the first appointment with Julia and her gentle therapy, I felt human again and everything started to connect along the various parts of my body. To actually feel the channels open and the tensions ease is just the most glorious feeling. Others might indulge themselves in other ways but my treat to me is a regular session with Julia."

"I received Ortho-Bionomy treatment from Julia Fast.
I was astonished by my immediate body reaction.
I released a lot of tension from my past trauma. I had learned to essentially ignore my trauma, not connecting it to the pain and tension I was experiencing in my shoulders, neck, and migraine headaches.
The initial release was fast and intense. My shoulder pain decreased significantly right away, and in the weeks that followed, I experienced more relaxation throughout my entire body. This led to decreased pain and a greater sense of peace, allowing me to sleep better.
I highly recommend Julia. Her gentle technique, knowledge, kindness, and professional manner are exceptional.
Go well!" Coral Waitere

"Such a beautiful, deep experience. Immediately after, I felt like I was coming up from a deep dive. The body felt comfortable, loose, and more relaxed. The day after our session, I lay on the floor for a couple of minutes and felt a few releases happening all at once, in the lower back, the pelvis and middle back, between the shoulder blades. While my habits have probably brought back some of the tightness, I still feel more free than before the session. Thank you!" RL Otago

Julia is a delicate woman, but you quickly notice that she can't knock anything over. The room in which she receives me is very simple and, apart from two chairs and a massage table, apparently empty.

At first I sit across from Julia with a cup of tea and notice that it is not so much the drink, but rather this extraordinary person who makes you feel welcome.

I am happy that she explains to me right away that she is not a miracle healer, but is fortunate enough to be able to build on a well-founded conventional medical education with unique holistic knowledge.

3 days after the session my back has continued to improve, in that there is no discomfort, even when I am sitting. I experience mild discomfort after showering -lots of bending twisting etc., but this discomfort very soon passes and my back feels fine I feel my shoulders and upper back/chest also feel more relaxed, and easier to maintain a good posture.

"Both my wife and I have had Ortho-Bionomy treatment by Julia Fast with excellent results. Aside from substantial pain relief on an on-going basis, the refocus on how your body works is also beneficial. We were taking at least two Ibuprofen a day, and since treatment months ago, have not needed any. The benefit of Julia's treatment has been significant, if not profound, and we plan to resume with “maintenance” visits in future. Julia has a warm, caring approach to her patients, and a determined desire to heal. It is also refreshing to be treated more like a valued friend than a patient." Gary and Diane Jeffries. Teviot Valley.

"The main reason I went to Ortho-Bionomy was for ongoing pain which had no obvious cause. With gentle treatment I found my pain levels quickly dropped from ‘wakes me up at night’ to ‘mild discomfort I can sleep through’. This makes a big difference to how I feel during the day. But I was also pleasantly surprised by additional benefits of receiving Ortho-Bionomy treatment. My overall health and well-being improved and I felt lighter, happier, not to mention the treatment itself which for me is extremely relaxing. Through feedback from me as well as Julia being remarkably perceptive, I feel looked after, safe and supported during the session and always look forward to it like a treat for my body and mind."

"Have been going to Julia for about 2 years now mainly for pain relief. The treatment has been very successful. If I don't have regular treatments, the pain returns. I now regard her as a friend with exceptional talents in her profession. She has achieved results other professionals I have been to, have not." Wanaka

“I always know what you are going to do next, because you are guiding me through the movement verbally. This gives me a sense of full relaxation and I love it having time to notice what is happening during a gentle move, or compression you are using in a treatment.” P.
