I have been seeing Julie regularly for almost four years now. I was originally referred to her because I was about to have surgery on my sphenoid sinuses. The surgery is risky and can often lead to worse complications. Fortunately, an acquaintance referred me to Julie, who had helped her with the same problem. Julie had prescribed two herbal remedies for her, which cleared up the problem within two weeks. Julie treated me three times a week, and after two weeks, I saw enough improvement to warrant canceling the surgery.
In addition to treating the sinus disease, Julie also treats me for Late-Stage Lyme and all the complications that arise from the disease. I see her once a week to keep my immunity strong and to help lessen the pain associated with permanent nerve damage, arthritis, digestive issues, etc. Though late-stage Lyme is almost impossible to cure, I feel I’m able to keep it in check with regular treatments by Julie. Out of all the doctors I’ve seen, Julie is the one who’s done the most to mitigate the pain and at the same time, keep my energy flowing smoothly. I also have monthly micro-current facials, which have made a noticeable difference in the appearance and texture of my skin.
Julie is very knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and essential oil treatments. She is a very caring and concerned health care professional, who consistently goes the extra mile to help her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone. - Cynthia
I was allergic to wheat and using laser allergy densensitization my Mom removed that allergy. All I had to do was hold a wheat cracker while she shone a laser at a point on the back of my head (no needles & no pain). I ate more than my share of brie with bread and crackers the very next day, Christmas day. But in order for the treatment to “stick” & the gut to heal, you have to do a complete wheat elimination for 3 weeks post treatment. So after my Christmas feast, Mom treated me again. This past Saturday marked the end of my total elimination, and I celebrated with Arby’s roast beef sandwiches. And had no reaction (normally I’d start sneezing, wheezing, itchy skin, & migraine within 10 minutes of consuming wheat or byproduct). Yay!
Last night I discovered a side effect of the allergy treatment. I was just looking in the bathroom mirror at work and had to do a double take. I took my glasses off to see my eyes better. I’ve complained about bags under my eyes for years. They’re gone. And I’ve thought for years that I had “hooded” eyes, where the upper lid folds over on itself so you can’t see anything beyond the last line…..the upper lid has receded back so my eyes look “normal” now & I can have fun with eye shadow.
I have read in health magazines that puffy eyes & bags can be caused by allergies, but mine were always there even when I wasn’t sneezing or had a runny nose. Now I can deduce that the bags & upper eyelid puffiness were due to a chronic allergic response to wheat! I am completely desensitized to it, even touching wheat isn’t giving me any autoimmune response.
Next time we’re in Santa Barbara, Mom is going to treat me for dog & cat hair, house dust, cigarette smoke, & the underlying fungal yeast that is often the cause of food allergies & unexplained fatigue. - Caressa Basham-Schramer
I was experiencing chronic twitching of my eyelids, to the point that they were keeping me awake at night. I consulted with two ophthalmologists, and they both recommended Botox injections in my eyelid. When I talked with Julie, she explained the Chinese diagnosis for my twitching eyes and prescribed an appropriate Chinese herbal formula. The formula made the twitching in my eyes stop. I also swear by BiYan. Taking only 3 before bedtime prevents my nasal allergies and works better than either of my prescription sprays or the homeopathic sprays that I have tried. - Mike
I tried for two years to get pregnant. And I had just had a failed IVF treatment when I consulted with Julie. She recommended some dietary changes and then treated me with acupuncture and herbs until my second IVF two months later. I now have a beautiful baby girl! - Janet
Julie’s special touch and breadth of knowledge has made her acupuncture treatments very, very helpful. Not only is the pain (spinal stenosis) being helped, but other conditions have been helped as much. I highly recommend Julie. - Margaret
I am a very sensitive person so Julie does my acupuncture treatment without needles. She uses micro current and essential oils. I appreciate the fact that she will spend time to research my questions so that I have current information. I feel confident in referring friends to Julie for treatment. - Debbie
I’ve suffered from nightly disturbing dreams and nightmares for ten years. I’ve tried everything from herbs to prescription sleeping pills, but nothing stopped me from waking up horrified and drenched in sweat in the pre-dawn hours. Then, Julie recommended I try the Enlightenment and Balance CDs. The second night I listened to Enlightenment, I fell asleep before the first track ended, and slept a full six hours without a single bad dream! Listening to “my” CD has become part of my bedtime ritual, along with essential oils, and I’m consistently sleeping more restfully than I have in years! I take my mp3 player with me to work, and listen to Enlightenment for 10-15 minutes if I start getting overly stressed. As soon as it starts playing, I feel a wave of calm and peace wash over me. I cannot praise these CDs enough and recommend them to anyone with sleep disturbances, as well as for stressed out type A personalities. Thanks Julie!! - Caressa
At the ripe old age of 32, I’ve been suffering for several years from night sweats and dream disturbed sleep. I fall asleep easily enough, but wake up in after 3-4 hours, after which I doze, have nightmares, and soak the sheets in sweat. I tried melatonin and prescription sleeping pills, both of which failed miserably. When I was at my wit’s end, Julie prescribed three different essential oils for me to try: Women’s Transformation, Lavender, and German Blue Chamomile. Before bed, I apply a few drops of the blends, each to its own pulse point. The Women’s Transformation has eliminated the night sweats, while the Lavender and Chamomile work together to help me sleep longer and more restfully. I also keep a cotton ball soaked in Women’s Transformation in a baggie in my purse; when I feel overwhelmed I pull out my baggie and take a few deep breaths to help me feel calm and centered again. I’m grateful to Julie for sharing her knowledge of gentle, natural remedies that can heal both body and mind.
Julie’s treatment spared me from being induced into labor. I had never had acupuncture but was desperate. She also gave me information on writing a birthing contract to give to my doctor. I was so relieved when I started into labor three hours before I was scheduled with the doctor the next morning. - Melanie
