Julie Routier
Julie Routier

I am the light that comes from the sky, I am the child that is born of the universe, I am the roots that hold the tree grounded in the earth, I am unconditional love, I am unique, I am me…

Hello and welcome,

I am Julie Routier the founder of Essensky the School of Healing and Natural Therapies and an Energetic Healer. I am so excited to share my story and mission with you. It is my background combined with my experiences that brings me here today. I have been a holistic practitioner for many years now and have had so much satisfaction in guiding many beautiful souls on their journey to health and healing. This has made my life incredible - and I am now sharing my skills with others.

Let me share with you a bit of myself... I left my home country of Belgium in 2007 and have been enjoying living in Aotearoa since 2010 and gained my citizenship in 2018 which I am so grateful for. The person I am today, believe as much about the physical and energetic side of the body, because of my childhood and my life journey, to me it is so important that we align both systems to be balanced. The connection I had with the other world, growing with it and understanding what others could not see, sense or ear is why I am guiding people in that journey and give tools that will serve them in their life.

I have a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, nutrition as I study dance and became a professional at age seventeen and developed skills I use in my practice today. After that, I trained to become an assistant nurse as I have always been interested in health and working on the body. This study furthered my knowledge of the human form in regards to nutrition, psychology, biology, and anatomy. Then, I became a massage therapist to understand how to work with the psychic side of me which opens the door to my healing abilities and that has been incredible.

In 2012, at 24 years of age, I established myself as a therapist, at the same time I created and developed my own organic and natural health center that I ran successfully for 7 years in Wellington. With time I began to understand why I was so drawn to this art, and why my appointments were booked out far in advance with a long waiting list. I discovered what differentiates my work, was that I was able to feel the energy blockages in the body and guide their release. This kept my clients returning, it gave me a long list of referrals and as a response, my clinic grew into a multi-therapist health centre.

While developing my business, I learned how to train my therapists these nuanced skills essential for a holistic clinic. I did this because until now, I always felt there was something missing in the way many therapists are taught. The energetic aspect is the underlying element that ensures you meet your client’s needs, and that they return as loyal clients. Getting the balance between the energetic and physical aspects of a treatment, makes the perfect mix.

Working with, and experiencing the practices of many therapists has shown me that there is a gap of understanding in this area. I have always been helping others from a young age and I feel that educating about how to provide treatments that address the body, mind, spirit, and soul - is my purpose. This was confirmed when in February 2018 I received the message to open a school and share my knowledge with those drawn to the path of healing.

This was a very strong message given to me and since then, I have typed up and filmed all the techniques needed to become a holistic practitioner in massage, facial and energy healing therapy and because of all that I have gained over these years, I am now able to hold this space for people. My knowledge available to be shared with others so that they become the being they are meant to be, either on a personal level or professionally by joining my school that is both online and physical. This course is not only teaching them effective and healing skills, but it also guides them to find their true self and align them to their life purpose.

The first part is a completely self-paced online course that you can start at any time. We do recommend at least 3 months of study before attending any retreat meaning you will have learned all the modules, set your online assignments and done your case study before you come to the retreat. However, we know that everyone has a different study pace so we are willing to take this matter as a case by case scenario.

After the 5 Day Retreat final practical exam and when all the modules, assignments and cases study have been successfully achieved.

Our accredited courses qualify you to work legally worldwide and to get professional insurance which we strongly recommend.
What is the unique aspect of your course?
We developed courses that focuses on what a holistic practitioner will be facing in real life as we experienced that a lot of essential aspect of what a therapist should know is often missing in and so relevant to apply in your daily basis practice. We have take our attention as much on the theoretical than practical side of your future role as you need both to give effective treatment. Also, the essence of our school is to use only natural and certified organic products, which are all sourced sustainably and often locally. This sustainable, organic philosophy is a keystone to EssenSky and the emphasis on care of people as a whole, defines us as a progressive and holistic training program.
