Introducing Private Wellness Experiences – In-Residence
This summer, we’re bringing something new to the coast — restoration that comes to you.
Julie Johnston has spent years weaving together Reiki, therapeutic sound, breathwork, and energy work into sessions that meet people exactly where they are. At The Studio House & Co., she’s built a practice around one idea: healing happens when someone finally has permission to stop.
Now, Julie is bringing that practice directly to wherever you’re staying across the coast.
Private Wellness Experiences turn a living room into a sanctuary — sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls, gentle restorative yoga, Reiki, tea and cacao ceremony — curated entirely around a group’s pace and intentions. No driving, no strangers, no schedule to work around.
Three packages to start from — Radiant Renewal, Flow Into Stillness, and Heart & Harmony — each one a starting point, not a script. Julie talks with every group before the session to shape something specific to them.
It’s built for the annual girls’ trip. The low-key bachelorette that wants more restoration and less chaos. The birthday that deserves more than dinner reservations. The book club ready to close the covers for a weekend. Anyone who came to the coast to actually feel it.
Private Wellness Experiences are available for groups of 2 to 8, within 20 miles of Manzanita.

Want to start with something smaller? There are plenty of ways to find this same sense of restoration right here in at the spa and on the beach in Manzanita.
Julie and Bailey lead Yoga + Sound Healing on the Beach most Saturday mornings this summer — a lower-key way to feel Julie’s work firsthand, right on the sand. $25, all levels.
At the spa, Rae offers Reiki energy healing on its own, or woven into massage with the Energy Balance Massage — a session that pairs customized bodywork with Reiki for guests wanting both physical and energetic release. And for a quieter, standalone reset, the Infrared Sauna and Red Light Therapy Restoration Room are available any day.
Gia Said It Better Than We Ever Could.
A first look at Restorative Resonance at The Studio House.
We could tell you what a Restorative Resonance session feels like.
But Gia — a wellness practitioner who knows this work from the inside — said it better than we ever could, after her first session with Julie:
"Like being held in an envelope of sound and energy, where my whole system could settle and expand at the same time."
Yeah. That.
What is Restorative Resonance?
It's the most immersive session Julie offers — and honestly, it's hard to put into words until you've been in the room.
Here's the short version: you lie down, fully clothed, on a vibroacoustic sound mat. Low-frequency sound waves move through your body — physically, not metaphorically. Singing bowls and tuning forks layer sound around you. And Julie's Reiki moves through all of it, guiding your body's energy toward whatever needs to settle.
The whole system, as Gia put it. Settling. And expanding. At the same time.
Sessions run 45 or 60 minutes. Most people don't want to leave.
Julie is now booking at The Studio House in Nehalem.
She also offers standalone Sound Healing and Reiki sessions if you want to start there and work your way in.

Welcome to The Studio House & Co.
After years of serving the Nehalem, Manzanita, and Wheeler communities with heart and talent, the space once known as J Marie Salon + Spa has entered a new chapter.
We’re proud to introduce The Studio House & Co. — a refreshed space for creativity, wellness, and self-care, designed with both independent artists and their clients in mind.
What’s Staying the Same
You’ll still find many of the familiar faces you know and love, including Lucy, Myriah, Brandy, and Maisie — along with a few exciting new ones.
You’ll still experience the same warmth, comfort, and attention to your well-being. Whether you're booking hair, nails, skin, or body art, The Studio House is a space where independent professionals can focus on doing what they love, while clients enjoy a welcoming, boutique experience.
What’s Changing
Jill, the founder of J Marie, has officially stepped away from the business — and we want to extend deep gratitude for the energy, care, and community she cultivated over the years.
Under new ownership, The Studio House & Co. is reimagining what a shared studio space can be:
A supportive home for artists to build their own brands
A curated experience for clients to explore creative and holistic services
A sister space to Spa Manzanita, just a few blocks away
Together, these two spaces support a full spectrum of care — from massage and facials to hair, body art, and beyond.
What’s Ahead
We’re just getting started.
You’ll start to see fresh updates, evolving services, and new artists joining the space in the weeks and months ahead. And we’ll continue sharing stories, spotlights, and behind-the-scenes moments right here.
We’re so glad you’re here — and we can’t wait to welcome you into this next chapter.
