Essentrics with Julie Ferrari

A former endurance athlete with decades of experience pushing physical limits, Julie came to discover that true longevity comes not from pushing oneself harder and faster, but rather from achieving a proper balance in flexibility, strength and stability. While training for long-distance events, Julie had her share of injuries and in the quest for relief, became fascinated with the mechanics of the human body; how flexibility, mobility, and strength form the foundation of performance and injury prevention. This curiosity eventually led her to discover Essentrics®, a dynamic stretch and strengthen technique that perfectly integrates the science of movement into functional strength and flexibility training.

Essentrics® offered everything Julie had been searching for: a method that builds a strong, supple body without strain or impact. Rooted in the strengthening principles of classical ballet, Essentrics® emphasizes long, lengthened lines and controlled, elongated muscle engagement. At the same time, it integrates the healing wisdom of physiotherapy, using gentle, full-body movements to rebalance muscular chains, unlock joints, and restore natural range of motion.

Studying with master trainers from the Montreal, Canada headquarters, Julie became a Certified Essentrics® Instructor in 2020 and has over 1,200 hours of teaching experience in both group and private settings. Through her practice Julie has come to recognize that Essentrics® is more than exercise; it is a holistic movement practice that nurtures the body and the mind. Each session flows like choreography, guided by music that inspires ease, expression, and mindful presence. Julie’s mission is to empower her students and help them move with ease, confidence, and strength.Today, Julie brings this transformative method to clients of all ages and abilities, from those stepping into movement for the very first time to seasoned athletes seeking improved performance and quicker recovery. With a compassionate, inclusive approach, she helps every individual discover their own strength, freedom, and vitality through the intelligent, graceful practice of Essentrics®.For more details and to register for class, visit www.julieferrari.com.
