Hi fRIEND!

I’m Julie, and I created Soft Touch ASMR Spa for gals & non-binary pals from a need for comforting, gentle touch.

In 2007 I began struggling with anxiety for the first time in my life - I desperately needed to relax, but massages were always painful to me. I needed something softer, gentler & more comforting - like a back scratch from mom or my childhood friend playing with my hair. Having no luck, I searched for videos on YouTube as a means of vicarious experience. Again, not much out there, but it led me to ASMR, which I fell in love with & asleep to every night.

So finally, after years of daydreaming about filling that void, I started my own YouTube channel called 'Friends with ASMR' at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I gained a following very quickly & because I had so many viewers asking where to experience this IRL, Soft Touch ASMR Spa was born in 2022!

WHAT even IS ASMR?

Short for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, ASMR is a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound or gentle movements, such as hair brushing, nail scratching, and face brushing.
