Julie Langford is dedicated to helping clients feel their best, whether that means releasing tension, unlocking trapped emotions to recover from trauma, or changing their diet to reverse chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

Going far beyond traditional bodywork, Julie uses a profound blend of myofascial release, therapeutic massage, and intuitive energy work beside breath work and compassionate self-talk to amplify the impact of every session. Under her care, clients don't just find lasting relief from physical pain—they experience meaningful emotional breakthroughs and a revitalized connection to their truest selves.

Outside the treatment room, Julie assists people who have recently been diagnosed with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia to change their diets and use food as medicine. She’s seen astounding reversals of diabetes and watched people throw away their statins (with the consent of their doctors, of course!)

Her Journey and Mission

Julie’s path to this work is rooted in her own mid-life awakening. By her 40’s, Julie had achieved her dream of a successful career as a tenured professor at the University of South Florida, but she felt physically unwell and deeply unfulfilled. All that changed during a transformative trip to Rishikesh, India, where she was introduced to yoga therapy, breath work, and marma massage. Inspired by her own personal transformation, she retired from academia to found BreathWorks in 2022.

In 2025, Julie turned her attention to cleaning up her diet. She received her certificate from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutritional Studies in October 2026. To spread the good news about food as medicine, address the loneliness epidemic, and teach people to be more aware of our relationship with the planet, she partners with St. Luke’s Methodist Church and the Tampa Bay Permaculture group to host monthly Community Potlucks for the Plant-Based Curious. This fun, judgment-free, and informative event welcomes other holistic practitioners and community organizers to present their projects as well.

Today, backed by her training in bodywork, nutrition, energy and breath work, Julie is fiercely committed to making holistic healing accessible to everyone. She uses sliding scales, bartering, and donation-based care—driven by the belief that when we heal ourselves, we create a kinder, more compassionate world.
