Intrinsic to movement is healing.
Intrinsic to life is movement.
Movement is intrinsic to life.
Julia Nowicki is a practicing craniosacral therapist based in the Western Cape, Muizenberg.
Julia began her career as a dance teacher. She opened Alive Dance Studio 30 years ago with the
passionate belief that dance is a birthright, a god given way to joy and health. Julia's dream was
for movement/dance to become a mainstream activity for everyone.
At the age of 17 Julia began lessons in SADTA, IDTA Belly dancing,Tai Chi, creative movement
and callanetics with Mamau Divi (Maria Mac Donald). Mamau Divi’s commitment and devotion
to spiritualism and the body as a sacred temple has been and always will be an unmeasurable gift.
Under her spiritual and physical guidance the journey into body consciousness began.
Julia studied movement therapy with Ann Fisk, the continued experience of how movement, in all
it’s multiple forms, and stillness, invigorates, allows and encourages healing. The alchemy of self
expression, self awareness, unconscious and authentic movement, gravity, nuclear forces strong
and week, electromagnetism, and the observer effect is magnificent. Julias spiritual approach to
movement and the human body deepened and opened the door to cranial sacral therapy.
Julia began studying cranial sacral therapy with Al Pelowski in 1999, completing the full practitioners course and qualifying in August 2001. Al’s passionate approach to the natural and holistic way of life, his knowledge and his experience made him an extraordinary teacher. He is one of the pioneers of bio dynamic cranial sacral therapy.
Julia continued her education with post graduate training. Over the past two decades she has done courses with John Dolton, Hugh Millne, Mathew Appelton, Mary Short House, Jacob Nell, Simone Gosling and Kitya Nowicki. She has been a member of the S.A. cranial association since its inception.
Julia has been practicing craniosacral therapy for 21 years and is presently practicing from Muizenberg in Cape Town. Being in a session with a client, she feels deep gratitude, a sense of awe and respect. The body’s faithfull and continued effort to seek coherence no matter what the experiences are or have been is humbling. The constant, committed effort of the body, storing away experiences that had no outlet, physical and / or emotional, at unknowable costs to the whole. Every session is unique because of the innate and extraordinarily powerful capacity of a human being to heal, rather than to fix.
When a living system is held in its compensation patterns, supported, heard, seen, held in stillness in present time, the body can recognise what is not it and can safely let go of holding patterns. The release of energy and ridgid facia returns vital movement and fluidity back to the area and, in turn, the entire body is resourced for deeper and continued healing. Cranial sacral therapy works directly with the entire nervous system, calming the autonomic nervous system, encouraging movement of the skull bones, the motility of the meninges, the circulation of fresh Cerebral Spinal Fluid and blood, and bringing elasticity back to the brain.
and spirit infused cells. Cranial sacral therapy is for everyone, newborn babies, infants, children, teens, adults and elderly folk. For recurring mild concerns, pain, chronic and acute conditions. Or for when you are feeling well and want to maintain and improve your vitality. cranial sacral therapy is an effective therapy for recovery from a recent trauma or past traumas. A non-invasive, non-verbal, non-prescriptive healing modality.
Movement becomes you.
Our body faithfully transporting us, carrying us, containing us within a being, a strong miraculously
intelligent and reliable vessel. A vessel of action and rest, facilitating feelings and manifesting thought. Our bodies allways moving, replacing, reforming, guiding and defining the physical form. A devoted physical self giving agency to spirit /soul.
