Testimonials

“When looking for an acupuncturist, Julie stood out for being a Doctor of Acupuncture as well as being educated and experienced in both western and Traditional Chinese medicine. She used this diverse background during the initial assessment and ongoing treatment. Julie is passionate about health and wellbeing. She is also highly skilled at what she does.

“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. The frequency has gotten better as well. I was taking medication for migraine prevention that had unpleasant side effects.

“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.

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).

From Tension to Relief: Rethinking Headaches with Acupuncture

For some, it comes after a long day at work. The symptoms come after a day sitting behind a desk. First, the dull ache creeps up from the base of the skull, wrapping slowly around the temples like a band tightening. By the end of the day, it’s blossomed into a full headache, paired with a stiff neck that makes even turning the head painful. Over-the-counter pain relievers, stretching, ergonomic pillows are all purchased with the hope they will… Read more »

A Quiet Turning Point: Healing the Gut from Within

According to the IFFGD, the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, approximately 5-10% of the world’s population has IBS, with most of those people under the age of 50. And like millions of people with gastrointestinal disorders, most have tried everything from elimination diets, medications, and probiotics, to stress management apps. One treatment many are surprised to discover is acupuncture and just how impactful it can be for gastrointestinal health.

How Acupuncture Is Helping People Navigate Autoimmune Disease

For those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, mornings can be measured in minutes. How long before the stiffness eases? How long before gripping the coffee cup without pain is a reality? How long before feeling normal kicks in?

Even if you follow your rheumatologist’s treatment plan, take your medications, adjust your diet and pace your lifestyle, there are days when your body feels like it’s fighting a war you don’t fully understand.
