Welcome to Hands in the Sands Mobile Massage Therapy

Mobile Massage... Redefined.

Most people hear 'mobile massage' and picture a therapist hauling a table into a cramped spare room. That's not this. I bring a fully equipped, professional massage studio — on wheels — to you, or you come to me. Either way, you get the comfort of a real studio experience. I get to work in my professional environment with all the vibe, tools, and equipment to be my best. That's the redefinition.

A Studio That Comes to You

In August of 2023 I converted a 26 foot shuttle bus into a near replica of my prior brick and mortar space. You can come to me where I keep the studio parked on my private property OR I can drive the studio to YOU! A flat area that will accommodate my bus is required for an Out Call.

Bring the Spa to Your Event

Some of my favorite moments happen when I pull up to a group who had no idea how good their day was about to get.

Maybe it's a family down from the mountains for a week at Wrightsville Beach — mom, daughters, and a couple of aunts who deserve a real vacation treat. Or a neighborhood crew in Wilmington who decided a Sunday pamper day beats brunch. I've parked outside offices for employee appreciation events where people who spend all day on their feet finally got someone to take care of theirs. Bachelorette weekends, birthday girls, girls' trips that needed one more thing to make them unforgettable — that's where I come in. If you've got a group, I've got a bus.

Reach me directly at 910-746-4191 or [email protected] to talk through what you have in mind.

What Clients Are Saying

I had one of the most relaxing experiences here. The massage itself was excellent — calming, professional, and exactly what I needed.

What really makes this place special is the setting: a beautifully converted bus turned into a cozy, welcoming spa. It creates such a unique and peaceful atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.

Everything felt thoughtful and well done, from the environment to the quality of the massage. If you're looking for something a little different and truly relaxing, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be back. Julie is awesome!

The Hands in the Sands mobile studio parked outside a beach rental house

Having Julie come to our beach house was one of the highlights of our multi-generational family beach week. She brought her mobile studio right to our rental and gave massages to my mom, dad, two brothers, and me.

What impressed me most was how different everyone's experience was. We all came in with different aches, preferences, and goals, and every person felt like they got exactly the massage they needed. My dad especially appreciated how informative Julie was and loved the aromatherapy. My brother learned about cupping. The common thread was that everyone walked out relaxed and happy.

The mobile studio itself is beautiful, comfortable, and surprisingly peaceful. I was especially impressed by the transformation of what used to be an airport shuttle van into a genuinely relaxing space. Scheduling was easy, and Julie was flexible when we needed to swap a few appointment times around surf conditions and family logistics.

We are already talking about making this an annual family beach tradition. If you're looking for a way to add a little extra relaxation to a beach trip, I highly recommend Julie and Hands in the Sands.
