About Julie
Julie Civiello Polier is a celebrity face reader, holistic esthetician, author, and speaker whose work bridges the physical and energetic to guide clients back to their inner wisdom and natural radiance. Julie’s book, Gua Sha and Crystal Massage, was an Amazon best-seller and is the perfect guide to beginning a practice with gua sha, acupressure, and a deeper connection with your body’s wisdom.
With over two decades of immersion in the healing arts, spiritual psychology, performance, and movement studies, Julie weaves together a rare integration of disciplines that invite deep transformation and connection to self.
Julie’s training began as a classically trained actor, where she studied movement and voice for over a decade full time. She graduated with a BFA in Theater Arts from Boston University’s Conservatory and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, performing professionally in New England, New York City, Los Angeles, and London. Her studies included the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Grotowski method, Linklater voice training, and extensive dance, movement, and Commedia dell’arte clowning. These foundations in embodiment continue to inform the way she teaches presence, awareness, and vitality through the body.
In the healing arts, Julie is certified in 5 Element Face Reading, a practice she has cultivated for more than 16 years, and has studied and lived the philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine for over three decades.
Her expertise spans polarity therapy, Craniosacral, and Reiki—holding the Master level of Usui Reiki to attune others in this energetic healing art. With that, she also completed a year-long certification in herbal and healing plant studies, with ongoing study and integration of herbal wisdom. She has studied embryology and embodiment with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, trained with multiple acupuncturists across lineages, and continually expands her knowledge in reflexology, most recently with Jackie Van Ruler. She has also studied Ayurvedic Medicine, including the art of Marma points.
As a licensed esthetician, Julie is certified in gua sha, herbal poultice massage, buccal massage, and myofascial release, blending these techniques to create treatments that restore both skin health and energetic balance. She graduated from the University of Santa Monica’s Master’s program in Spiritual Psychology, where she studied therapeutic methods and spiritual practices that now underlie her approach to transformation. Currently, she is advancing her studies to become a homeopathic doctor.
Julie offers her signature facial readings and healing services virtually, teaching others to interpret the messages held in their skin and to heal from the inside out. She has collaborated with brands such as True Botanicals, OSEA, Ursa Major, Citizens of Humanity, and Jenni Kayne, and worked with celebrity clients including Miranda Kerr, Christy Turlington, Inez and Vinoodh, Jessica Alba, Anwar Hadid, Kate Hudson, and Goldie Hawn. Through her book, teachings, and courses, Julie shares her amalgamation of diverse lineages—movement, embodiment, energy medicine, Eastern philosophy, and spiritual psychology—inviting people to reclaim their innate radiance and live more wholly aligned lives.
