Julie - Massage Therapy & advanced therapies

Owner of Gainesville Massage Therapy

Julie began as a massage therapist in 1990 when attending the local massage school.  Her first 10 years were a combination of growing a family and growing in experience, in both Florida and New York. In 2001 she began her first completely independent massage business, and in 2010 incorporated to become “Gainesville Massage Therapy”.  Over the years from 2011 – 2024 she helped newly licensed to experienced therapists grow their own practices.  Maintaining the office and establishment licensing, the online presence, and keeping up to date with all business aspects, helped therapists focus on massage while building their own clientele.

Currently GMT is transitioning to be part of Solidago Sanctuary, a wellness and learning business. Details to come. 

Gainesville Massage Therapy and its clients are cared for by Julie Burgevin. Please plan your booking and appointments to help assure you are helped in a timely fashion. Booking online is available.
