“I would recommend Dr Julie to anyone. She is wonderful, compassionate and knowledgeable. I suffer from migraines and I could tell very early in my treatment the migraines were less painful.

“I cannot say enough regarding how pleased I am with Julie and her work. I have received acupuncture from many practitioners throughout my life and Julie is one of my favorites by far. Her professionalism and skill are impressive and her compassion and knowledge exceed expectation. I highly recommend Julie Allison and refer to her often.” A.T.

“I found Dr. Julie because she’d been nominated as Charleston’s “Best Acupuncturist” and she’s certainly very talented. What struck me initially is that she *listens* and is compassionate about your ailments (something that is sadly so rare in the Western Medical system anymore).

Dr. Julie made it clear that it wouldn’t just be a short series of

Chinese & Japanese Acupuncture: Two Traditions, One Lineage

Both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture spring from the same classical East Asian medical roots, yet they diverged over centuries into distinct clinical styles. In Japan, techniques evolved toward gentler, highly tactile methods. And in China, the practice of acupuncture tended to emphasize stronger needle sensation and standardized point prescriptions within Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM. While some have their preferences, neither is “better” than the other. The right choice often depends on the patient’s condition, sensitivity, and

What is Five Element Acupuncture?

Five Element Acupuncture is a classical style of East Asian medicine that organizes diagnosis and treatment around the dynamic interplay of five phases/elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated (in this framework) with organ networks, emotions, sensory patterns, and seasonal cycles. Treatment aims to restore harmony among these elements when one becomes predominant or deficient. 

Stillness in Motion: The Healing Power of Qi Gong at Home

Life can seem overwhelming and unmanageable at times. Everyone is looking for the secret self-care miracle that helps us cope. What may have been a desperate Google search for “natural anxiety relief” has become a daily anchor; the secret to staying calm, focused, and physically energized.
