Jenalee is the founder of Soft Hour, a somatic jaw release practice in Victoria, BC. She’s trained in the FACE UP™ Jaw Release Method, which works with the jaw as part of a full-body holding pattern rather than a single tight muscle. Her sessions are closer to slow, whole-body bodywork than to a facial: gentle, precise, nervous-system-led touch that follows the bracing across the jaw, neck, traps, and fascial chain, rather than a forceful jaw-only focus. Before Soft Hour she spent years in red light therapy, which shapes how she thinks about the body and grounds the photopuncture she offers now. She works unhurried, and gives the body room to let go.

PLEASE NOTE: JULIE IS NOT ACCEPTING BOOKINGS FOR NEW PATIENTS AT THIS TIME. Thank you for your understanding.

Julie Paul, RMT, has been practicing massage therapy since 1991, when she graduated from The Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Ontario, and has practiced mostly in BC since then. She also spent ten years as a primary instructor at two accredited massage therapy colleges (BC and ON). Julie’s focus is in helping people maintain or return to optimal health and well-being, and sees massage therapy as a great tool in preventing stress-related illness and overuse injuries, and as an important partner in rehabilitation. She also believes that a massage therapy appointment can offer a mini break from the busy world, a moment to reconnect with one’s body and to offer it some TLC. Julie strives to create a calm, friendly and peaceful environment, and provide a balance between therapeutic and relaxing techniques. She has worked with clients from infancy to elder years, and appreciates the way that massage therapy can balance, restore and rejuvenate, as well as alleviate chronic pain. Her experience includes working with clients who are experiencing the following:

Chronic pain Autoimmune disorders such as Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Lupus. Arthritis Headaches Lower back pain Various orthopedic injuries such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, frozen shoulder Post-operative recovery Postural imbalances and scoliosis Stress-related muscle tension Pregnancy and post-partum Perimenopause and Post-menopause Post-exercise muscle soreness and injury

Her techniques include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, prenatal and infant massage, and neuromuscular techniques such as Trigger Point therapy. When she’s not massaging, she enjoys tennis, hiking, lake swimming, reading, cooking and gardening. She tries to strike a balance between her massage therapy practice and her second career as an author—she’s published five books, three of short fiction and two of poetry.

Victoria Website

Monica Cleland is the owner and director of Broadway Wellness, which she founded in 2004. Monica graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2002, where she later participated in teaching fascial, cranial, and visceral-based portions of the WCCMT curriculum. After graduation, Monica continued on to take a wide spectrum of post-graduate courses focused on cranialsacral therapy, myofascial release, and visceral manipulation (working specifically with organ misalignment and adhesions).

Monica uses a set of assessment techniques to decipher what areas of physical restriction and adhesion (several structures facially bound together – creating density, lack of circulation, lack of mobility, pain, and discomfort in the body), are presenting with greatest priority. She then treats each client uniquely according to how their body responds most comfortably toward restoring long-lasting balance in a safe, efficient, manner.

Before Monica started her career, she went through a long personal process of resolving her own very serious chronic pain syndrome over a period of several years. This experience has taught Monica more about the human body than any course or text book. It has shaped her life immensely, and comes through in the way she works with her clients. Monica understands how pain can impact, shape, and distort a person’s life and experience of their reality. She works to share information, and to help people move through their own chronic or acute pain and mal-alignement.
