"Julia has an amazing gentle nature and bright spirit. She encourages individuals to feel comfortable within themselves while they explore their physical and emotional beings. Julia creates a calm and inviting space for people to relax, heal, and rejuvenate."— Liza Bertini, Hoboken, NJ
"I had a wonderful Phoenix Rising experience with Julia. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she took plenty of time explaining the therapy to me. Then when we got going, I felt really well cared for. Julia has a great touch – steady and compassionate. As she put me into a sequence of poses, she constantly checked in to see how I was doing. It was great. I recommend Phoenix Rising Therapy and I recommend Julia Hough." — Howard Siegelman, New York City
"Julia has an infectious calm and grace. In sessions she immediately establishes an atmosphere of authority and trust through her voice and body language, and her genuine caring nature is apparent."
— Mary Child, Tenafly, NJ
