Julie Prather, LMT
In 2014, I embarked on my journey into massage therapy at the Body Therapy Institute in Siler City, NC. Shortly after graduating, I chose to start a family, and I’ve been balancing my passion for massage with motherhood ever since. Over the past 10 years, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing the art of bodywork and helping others feel better in their bodies—it brings me immense joy.
When I’m not in our beautiful spa, I love spending time with my three kids, reading, and tending to my garden.
