A bit about me!
I’d like to tell you a little bit about me and how Totally Holistic Health came into being!
Totally Holistic Health was founded by myself, Julie Elder in 2005. I specialise in providing complementary therapy services. These include Yoga, Bowen, Kinesiology, Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Reiki. I am based in Cheadle Hulme covering the North Cheshire and South Manchester area.
I have always had an interest in Natural Health even from an early age. After years of working in a corporate environment and seeing the stresses and strains it placed on the body, health and wellbeing I was confident that I needed a change of direction.
The ideal opportunity came when my son started school. This was when I decided to retrain as a therapist. Within 6 weeks of starting my course I discovered I was pregnant with my daughter – who said that stress doesn’t affect fertility!!
I completed the first year of my course, gave birth to my daughter in the summer and continued with the second year with baby in tow. I still however managed to achieve a college award and distinctions in my HND in Health and Complementary Therapies. The course gave me a fantastic grounding in all aspects of working in a therapeutic environment. This included counselling skills; psychology; sociology; diet and nutrition; anatomy and physiology. We also became qualified Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Swedish Massage and Indian head Massage.
My knowledge and determination has never wavered. I love learning new skills, therapies and gaining new knowledge. Since qualifying in 2005 I have become qualified as a Reiki master; Advanced Bowen practitioner; Baby Massage instructor; Kinesiologist to diploma level and also hold qualifications in Pregnancy Massage; Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage; Natural face Lift Massage and Mindfulness. I am also enhancing my lifelong love of Yoga and have trained as a Yoga Teacher to enhance the treatments I can offer you.
Customer service is very important to me and I try to follow upon each clients treatment.
I also love sharing my passion for natural health by regular blogs, newsletters and courses.
I would love to help you. Please contact me on 0161 374 2602 for a FREE consultation or use the contact box below.

As a small business, I really do appreciate it if you can let me know as soon as possible if you need to move your appointment. Re-arranging is fine, but if you cancel within 24 hours then I do ask you pay 50% of the cost of the treatment.
If you have a cold/tummy bug/or a cough but really want to come for a treatment then I really would prefer it if you rearranged. Don’t forget I treat numerous people so do not want to pass anything onto other clients (and I really don’t want to catch anything myself)!! Please ring me in plenty of time before your appointment if you are at all unsure and want to discuss.
If you are using a voucher that you have won (i.e. a voucher I’ve donated) and you do not attend your free appointment or cancel within 24 hours, the voucher becomes invalid.

A fantastic facial which was very special and like no other I have had before. Beautiful products selected for my skin type. The facial massage, including shoulders and head was so relaxing, it left me feeling wonderful! Thank you” SW
SWI experienced my first Kinesiology session with Julie last week and I can’t believe how amazing I feel already in such a short time. Through a series of muscle tests and specialist techniques, Julie was able to diagnose and immediately rectify my problem. Julie also identified a vitamin deficiency which I can easily remedy with my diet. Julie is a true professional and has given me the confidence I need to make the small changes in my life for a healthier and happier me. I would recommend Julie to everyone seeking a non-invasive holistic approach to their health. Thank you Julie. xx”
SusanI’ve been to see Julie for two health issues that doctors could not fix;
One was extreme unexplained bloating; Julie discovered via kinesiology that it was emotionally related and fixed me. I’ve never since had the extreme pain I used to suffer from!
The second was a very scary constant dizzy feeling; a loss of memory; confusion, leg pain and continual vertigo. A neurologist couldn’t find anything wrong and I’d been forced to resign from work. After one visit to Julie for a session of kinesiology, I left feeling absolutely fine. She fixed me in less than an hour!
I can’t explain her treatment as I still don’t understand it, but I 100% recommend her as a therapist. She has such a delicate and compassionate disposition with her patients and I can honestly say I hold a very special place for her in my life now.
Thank you Julie X”
Julie has helped me to become more energised after a recent illness. I particularly found kinesiology effective and relaxing. I feel that Julie works in such a holistic way that she takes all elements of the person into account. I love the way she works and her magic hands!”
