In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast, I’m joined by Julie Romero, a massage therapist redefining mobile massage in Wilmington, North Carolina. Julie shares her inspiring journey from public school teacher to massage therapist and how a personal tragedy led her to a bold new chapter of her career. After frustrations owning a brick and mortar practice she had the bold idea to convert an old shuttle bus into a fully functional mobile massage studio "Hands in the Sands".
Julie’s story is a reminder that even after life’s hardest moments, we can rebuild something beautiful — sometimes on wheels
We dive into:
- How Julie pivoted into massage therapy after 16 years as a teacher
- The challenges and creativity behind converting a shuttle bus into a massage studio
- Why she left traditional brick-and-mortar spaces behind
- - How her mobile studio offers freedom, flexibility, and a deeper connection with clients
- - The powerful role of touch in healing and how tragedy shaped her career
