Monday Wellness Post: Why don’t we move more regularly? Movement disrupts stress! Sitting for more than an hour is seriously hurting your health. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed at work - typing away in a hunched awkward position, do a few laps in the office or parking lot! Even just rolling your shoulder’s can release BDNF( a protein in your brain that is released with movement). This protein is essential for nervous system maintenance (de-stress, emotional regulation, and our body’s stress response reactions). Dance, walk, stretch, or move however you like - it’s a great form of FREE wellness. Have a great Monday! by @juliapugarlmt

Hi everyone! Here is a list of my services and prices. I have tried to make my prices affordable compared to local spas and practitioners because my hope is to reach as many people as possible. If price is an issue, please reach out and we can work together to find what’s best for you. Please make note that all modalities are the same price. There is no up charge for adding cupping or deep tissue in specific areas for example. Massage is unique for each person receiving, so this allows us to be adaptable as we work together to achieve your goals! If you have any questions about modalities or scheduling please DM or email me! Thank you and hopefully see you soon. Julia♥️ by @juliapugarlmt

Hello everyone! My name is Julia Pugar and I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for over 5 years. I specialize in deep tissue corrective work, cupping therapy, relaxation techniques, and stress reduction. As I’ve worked for a chiropractor for the majority of my career, preventative care is the utmost importance for me as a practitioner. My goal is always to hear the needs and wants for my clients session. TRIGGER WARNING: During my practice, I met a woman who was a survivor of sexual abuse. When creating a plan with her, we decided to move slowly with massage and use techniques from a trauma touch therapy approach. We worked our way up to a full body massage over months of work together. This amazed me. The level of trust she put into my hands moved me so deeply I needed to learn more about the mind and body connection. This led me to go back to school! I attended Point Park University where I graduated with my masters in psychology. During my time I have read and researched wonderful authors who have shifted my perspectives on how our bodies hold and carry stress. I still research on the development of disease in those who have had trauma in their lives. While attending university - I gravitated towards community work. Here I spent most of my time in Pittsburghs parks, shelters, and community centers focusing on thriving with individuals when the majority of their days were devoted to surviving. I directed a small grass roots group called the Mobile Thriving Respite - it changed my life forever and shaped how thriving, care, and wellness is for EVERYONE. After a wonderful journey of education and hands on work, I have decided to create my own mobile practice! Combining my two loves - massage and holistic care. Whether you’re looking to sink into self care or just relax, I’m here for you. I will be sure to post more along with book recommendations and a fun place to communicate about massage, tips/tricks for relaxation, and more! The photo is my business card. Please feel free to reach out and schedule! My best, Julia♥️ by @juliapugarlmt
