Relational Bodywork Reviews 36

Julian is one of the most intuitive, gentle, and humble healers I’ve ever worked with. He has a beautiful, childlike curiosity paired with the wisdom of a sage. His genuine enthusiasm to help is refreshing, and his ability to listen deeply, create a safe space, and guide you toward your Inner Self is truly special. Julian is trustworthy and sincerely cares about the people he works with.

I began working with Julian after meeting him through an online conference. At the time, I was seeking clarity around my daily work and career direction. And I was also dealing with the onset of a painful physical issue. I’m very selective about the healers I choose to work with, but Julian immediately met me where I was. He connected effortlessly to my experiences and circumstances, without me needing to over explain.

The Body Poem exercises, meditations, and other resources he shared were powerful and practical. His ability to listen and reflect back what I was expressing helped me gain deeper insight into myself and find answers from within. Julian is a truly gifted facilitator.

It’s rare for me to meet a healer or therapist who understands me so well and helps me make progress so quickly. His skill in connecting, listening, asking insightful questions, and walking beside me through my own process was remarkable.

I also love how he integrates somatic and relational bodywork techniques, explaining them clearly and making them easy to understand and apply. These practices helped me reconnect with my body and feel grounded again. Julian offers a wide range of tools and systems to support your success, and his way of teaching is both clear and empowering. He is an exceptional educator and practitioner.

I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with Julian and look forward to continuing our work together - hopefully in person next time.

If you’re considering working with him, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so. Julian is professional, humble, kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to helping others. His beautiful energy and selfless care make him a true gift to anyone he works with.

I’ve had the joy of co-teaching with my excellent colleague Julian for several years now. His deep knowledge and experience in the field is always impressive, and he has a warmth and kindness with students and clients that establishes immediate trust. His easy collaborative style makes it a pleasure to work together.

Julian is a very experienced and passionate bodyworker that I have been fortunate to receive supervision from.
He is an extremely knowledgeable person who is always supportive of my journey both professionally and personally.
I can definitely recommend him as a trustworthy source to turn to!

It is easy to learn from Julian. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge but is able to meet you where you are. I have felt that Julian holds space with real safety both in my 1:1 to one sessions and the group spaces I have attended. He is genuinely interested in helping people become more embodied and his enthusiasm and curiousity is contagious, he makes learning fun.

I did body poem training and 1 to 1 session with Julian. Julian energy makes me feel safe and held to connect with vurnerable side of me. Also the training I did have been a very beneficial step for my work with my clients with trauma and womb healing.
If you are looking for a space holder in which you want to feel safe I definitely recommend Julian.

I completed a week long cranio sacral training with Julian and Howard ,and Julians very friendly personality made the week so much more fun and this allows his knowledge and wisdom to come through into his teaching . I would work with him again:)

I first met Julian during sexological bodywork training, and was immediately struck by his warm, open teaching style. Julian creates such a safe and welcoming space—encouraging every student to dive deep into self-exploration with curiosity and loving acceptance. His approach to relational bodywork blends clarity and structure with genuine care, which makes learning both practical and transformational.
Over time, I experienced how his sessions empower both practitioners and clients, providing clear frameworks while always centring the power of choice for everyone involved. I found myself developing new confidence and discovering a deep sense of peace, purpose, and clarity—not just as a student, but in my own client work as well. Julian’s way of working truly liberates practitioners from feeling like we must have all the answers, and instead helps us trust the wisdom of the process and the people we serve.

I have had the privilege of learning from Julian several times and I can honestly say he teaches with exceptional skill, insight and experience .
He has an astonishing depth of knowledge, and he is also kind , warm and patient .
He creates an environment where you feel encouraged, supported, and confident to ask questions . He is very tuned in to the needs of the group and individuals .
One of his best traits is that he can teach quite complex information with such clarity, that students find it accessible and easy to follow.
He also has a sense of humour and is very down to earth and approachable .

I had a relational bodywork session with Julian. It was my first time doing a practices like this One.
Julian was completly professional, created a very safe environment for me, stablishing a good communication, agreement on the limits and adpatating really well to my needs, emotionally and physically.
The session enabled me to get myself better and to BE more confident with my body and this was only possible because Julian is an excelente practicioner with a very big sensitivity! I recommend Julian for his great work and surrender

I can really recommend Julians work and his way of holding space! I was on a training with him and Julian put a lot of emphasis on embodied consent and that we keep in alignment with our boundaries.
I felt safe to say "no" and to check in with myself what i truly need. On the training i had also one triggering moment and Julian was really present with me that i can regulate myself and get back into ownership of my experience.
I can fully recommend his work!

I came to work with Julian on a friend's recommendation at a time when I needed therapeutic support, without knowing much about the specific modalities of therapy, coaching, and bodywork he specializes in. Since then, I have worked with Julian in various settings—private sessions, couples work, and group work. Sometimes, I have reached out for one-off sessions; other times, we have engaged in day-long intensives and immersive week-long retreats. In each of these experiences, I have been profoundly impressed by Julian’s depth of wisdom, intuitive mastery, and ability to flow seamlessly with the unfolding process.

Julian is an exceptionally perceptive listener. He takes detailed notes during sessions and, at a certain point, reads them back, transforming words on the page into a kind of spontaneous poetry of the soul. In doing so, he distills the essence of our discussions into simple yet profound statements, commitments, or guiding principles—illuminating the hidden wisdom waiting to emerge.

Through working with Julian on deeply personal issues, I have gained invaluable tools that have enriched my work as a community leader, deepened my personal relationships, and supported my spiritual practice. I believe I have only scratched the surface of what he has to offer, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an insightful, compassionate, and highly skilled guide with a wonderful sense of humor and a wealth of gifts to share.

I would give this man a 10 star if it was available at Trust Pilot. Thank you Julian, for all that you are, all that you bring to the world to share here with us. Your wisdom is profound, your set of skills is so vast, and the results of your work when you leave the space are felt for a long time. I look forward to the next chapters of our healing journey.

Insightful guidance from Julian, helping me to frame my focus and assemble my thoughts into a clear intention and direction. He is full of creative ideas and possibilities to continue learning and growing. I appreciate Julian's warmth and professional attitude, and have always felt safe and respected whilst working with him.

I have followed several workshops and training courses run by Julian, and each time I've been stunned by his deep knowledge and eloquent guiding. He feels truly safe, trustworthy and inspiring to learn from. Also, he's great and fun companionship :)

Safe intentional spaces and lots of robust knowledge. Highly appreciate the way my body and also mind have opened through the relational body work practices.

I've had several bodywork sessions with Julian Marcus and each time it's been very beneficial, precise, subtle, rich in teaching about myself, gentle and effective.

I highly recommend him.
(As an osteopath myself, I must admit I find it hard to trust my body...).
You can go with confidence.

I ran a Men’s Group Coaching Program with Julian and he came as a guest facilitator to our Men’s Circle twice.

Julian is hugely knowledgeable and experienced in a wide variety of topics. He was in his element answering questions from the guys in our men’s circle.

As well as a competent facilitator, teacher and body worker I’d also point out that working with him was a pleasure. Organised, clear and responsible.

Things to watch out for: Julian can be very chatty. I suggest you make sure to leave a little wiggleroom in your interactions to soak up some of the vast wisdom he has to offer!

I enrolled in a retreat that Julian was co-facilitating, but before the retreat, there were several webinar sessions with each session, I got introduced to his work, and I got to know him in different dimensions, and those different dimensions that I got the opportunity to observe and feel, brought so much into my journey, and when the day of the retreat arrived, i finally had the opportunity to meet him.
He took me on a journey of diving to explore new subjects and go deeper inside to discover more and more about myself.

I went there with curiosity and came out on the other side in wide-open wonder.

One of the things that is still with me to this day, is I Feel, I Follow. This represents the journey I was already in, and it expanded even further.

I was fortunate enough to be involved in Julian's Body Poem practitioner coaching as a client receiving a treatment. I had never heard of this form of therapy before and didn't know what to expect. Right from the start Julian made me feel relaxed and secure. He sent me information about the treatment in advance and explained how to prepare myself. He is very professional whilst being friendly, kind and approachable. The treatment was like a new adventure and I'm grateful for the guidance and experience of how to listen to my body better. I also have fresh perspective on my personal goals, which was very interesting. After the treatment Julian sent me all the notes from the session so I could refer back to them and reflect. A big thank you to Julian and his practitioners!

"Working with Julian has been incredibly beneficial. His decades of experience helped me see just how much knowledge and skill I already have. Through his mentorship, I was able to consolidate my expertise into a structured online program for men—taking what I knew and shaping it into an effective, results-driven offering for my clients.

Julian’s passion and enthusiasm are contagious, making every session both inspiring and productive. His reflections gave me the validation and confidence to fully own my expertise. I’d highly recommend his mentoring to any practitioner looking to refine their knowledge and turn it into a tangible, impactful program. His deep knowledge and energy will push you to create something truly valuable."
