Getting To Know You - Julianne Guyette, LMT

Q. You have over 20 years experience in the field of healing arts. Can you tell us a little about how you were led to this field and feel so compelled to help others?

A. My passion for helping others began when I was younger. I enjoyed helping my mom in the kitchen, learning how to help in the community through Girl Scouts, helping out in our local church, being a supportive friend, daughter, sister, aunt, co-worker, student and mother. In all areas of my life, I found joy while helping others.

After a mild car accident while in college, I had a difficult time concentrating with some pain I was experiencing. My doctor at the time suggested that I see a Chiropractor, who ended up sending me to a Massage Therapist. I was able to get such relief in my body from the Massage work. The Massage Therapist happened to be a teacher at the school I ended up at. I knew right away I was in the right field to explore all I could learn in the field of healing arts.

My journey led me to meet and learn from many talented, wise and knowledgeable professionals in the healing arts. After becoming a mother, my passion and interest for overall health strengthened. I wanted to know everything about the human body, mind and spirit; how it works, how to maintain health, how to keep it in alignment, and how to enjoy life in the process. My intuition to help in various ways enhanced naturally after becoming a mom. I began sharing what I learned along the way to help others with their health. Becoming a Massage Therapist was the beginning of my diverse journey in healing arts.

Q. Tell us a little about your Massage technique. What is a typical client session like with you?

My massage technique is tailored to the individual and their needs. The beginning of every session begins with a check in with the client so I can get a sense of what they need and what they want to achieve during the session. Once they are on the table, my hands and intuition take over. My sessions can be a combination of specific deep work, relaxing, medium pressure with passive stretching and healing Reiki energy to sooth the soul. I give my full attention and consideration during every session and offer suggestions with a care plan from a professional perspective on how to enhance their overall health.

Q. Along the way, you've also become a Minister. Tell us about this process and how it has influenced your work as a practitioner.

A. Yes, I became an Alliance of Divine Love Minister in 2012. After working in the healing arts for many years, I found my practice began to take a turn and a need for spiritual counseling presented itself. I worked closely with the Geriatric community and their families in Western MA doing bodywork and this transformed into ADL ministry. I began to practice a higher degree of love for myself in my personal and professional life, with my family and the community. I found myself assisting people in transitional moments when they needed support, guidance and step by step instructions to get to their next level of wellness. My daily ministry has deepened my compassion, understanding and ability to be fully present with people during their transitions, challenges and life celebrations.

Q. What do you love most about what you do?

A. I love being an inspiration and a solution seeker for those who are looking for assistance in overall wellness in body, mind or spirit. I love to learn and grow along the way being the teacher and the student equally. I love witnessing the healing transformation when people step into their power and align with their true self. It's an honor and a blessing to be a part of anyone’s healing journey or life celebration.

Q. You will be launching a coaching course in 2020. Do you want to tell us a little bit about what to expect?

A. Yes, I'm very excited about this. For quite some time I have been feeling the push to expand my healing arts into holistic health coaching for body, mind and spirit. My life experiences have given me the opportunity to learn how to live in harmony with my authentic self and be at peace throughout life challenges.

In 2020, I will offer a 12 week program which includes one on one life coaching/spiritual counseling, therapeutic bodywork, group empowerment workshops and more. It will be offered primarily to women and mothers. If you are in transition, facing a difficult life challenge, or have a desire to learn and be supported to live the life of your dreams, stay tuned as we roll out more details in the months to come.

You can also EMAIL the office to be the first to be notified of our launch date.

Q. As a mom to 5 kids, you are a busy woman. How do you find time for your own self-care?

A. This takes much creative planning and self love. There are many times when I want to put everyone's needs before my own but know from experience this is not the best way to approach self care. It takes discipline to schedule time for myself whether it's a walk in nature, 20 minutes of yoga, an acupuncture or massage session, healthy meal prep, time with a friend, journaling, listening to uplifting scriptures, meditation or getting to bed early. No matter what it is, I must do something for myself every day. I always feel better when I do. It’s also important for me to be a good role model for my children and my clients.

Q. You are fairly new to the Cape community. What is the best part of living here for you?

A. The Cape has always been a special vacation spot for my family and I. Deciding to move to the Cape and make it our year round home was the next natural step. I love raising my children here.

I love the hustle and bustle excitement summer brings and I also love the quiet off season which I think is the best time to get to know the locals. Living on Cape year round can be challenging but the community that comes together makes it all worth while. There is something very special about the people who reside year round on Cape Cod.
