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…

Hi Beautiful Soul,

I am Shaman Iusuki, an intuitive, holistic counsellor, a healer & a Spiritual Instructor. I bring my medicine here on Earth, all that I recalled from past lives and this lifetime. My career started as a professional dancer evolving into healing modalities when at a young age, I discovered the perceptions into the world of spirits, other realms, and past lives which enabled me to release lost Souls and receive messages. My purpose is to counsel beautiful Souls on their journey, teach, and share divine messages that will serve them to awaken and remember who they truly are. I offer Holistic Counselling sessions that are held online or in-person through walks using different healing modalities as well as life skills counselling and Accredited Holistic Therapy Certificates in Massage, Facial and Energy Healing if you feel called to find your gift and discover your own power under my wings!

Julie's experiences and background

Julie is so excited to share her story and mission with you. It is her background combined with her experiences that brings her here today. She has been a holistic practitioner for many years now and has had so much satisfaction in guiding many beautiful souls on their journey to health and healing. This has made her life incredible and continues every second of it!

She left her home country of Belgium in 2007 and has been enjoying living in Aotearoa since 2010. She gained her citizenship in 2018 which she is so grateful for. The person she is today, believes as much about the physical and energetic side of the body, because of her childhood and her life journey, to her, it is so important that we align both systems to be balanced. At a young age, she discovered perceptions into the world of spirits, other realms, and past lives which enabled her to release lost Souls and receive messages. This connection with the other world, growing with it, and understanding what others could not see, sense, or hear is why she is guiding people in that journey and teach tools that will serve them all their life.

She has a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, nutrition as she studies dance and became a professional at age seventeen and developed skills she uses in her practice today. After that, she trained to become an assistant nurse as she has always been interested in health and working on the body. This study furthered her knowledge of the human form in regards to nutrition, psychology, biology, and anatomy. Then, she became a massage therapist to understand how to work with the psychic side of her which opened the door to her healing abilities and that has been incredible. She has been trained and certified in Assistant Nursing, Therapeutic and Holistic Massage Therapy, Reiki, Dry needling, kinesiotaping, Holistic Facial Therapy, and Holistic Counselling.

She also received the blessing and abilities from Sacred Guides that came on her path to practice Mirimiri (Maori Healing) and Shamanic Healing when she got given the name of Shaman Iusuki to bring her medicine on Earth for which she has been so honored, full of gratitude, and with what she feels connected the most now for the work she delivers each day of her life.

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

While embracing the growth of her clinic and bringing in new therapists, she observed that the nuanced skills that were essential for the therapist's wellbeing and that of the clients were missing. What created the perfect treatment was getting the balance between the person's energetic and physical bodies. Over time, she found that by educating the therapists on how to address and sense the underlying causes of the symptoms met the client’s needs and kept them coming back for more treatments. The therapists did not need to possess the same gift as her, but simply needed to “ground” themselves prior to their treatment, connect and disconnect with the client's energy to have the desired effect.

Even though she never mentioned the spiritual aspect of her approach to massage when instructing the therapists, incredibly, some felt the energy moving through them and guiding them during their treatments. Some of the therapists had major awakenings and revelations about their life purpose which made her realise the potential of what she was teaching and the process they were going through. She have always gained satisfaction in helping others, and she feels that educating therapists on how to provide treatments that address the body, mind, spirit, and soul has been part of her purpose. This was confirmed when in February 2018, she received the message to write a book, open a school and share her knowledge with those drawn to the path of healing.

Her purpose is and has always been to counsel, teach, and share divine messages for beautiful Souls to awaken to their true authentic self and align with their life purpose.

She offers Holistic Counselling sessions that are held online or in-person through walks using different healing modalities as well as life skills counselling and Accredited Holistic Therapy Certificates in Massage, Facial and Energy Healing if you feel called to find your gift and discover your own power under my wings!
