Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the use of hair fine needles that are inserted into the skin at specific locations in the body to stimulate changes in the nervous system, release endorphins, promote oxygen and blood flow and bring the body back into homeostasis. Acupuncture is able to combat stress, relieve various ailments, treat injuries, and support the immune system to fight invasions that may attack the body.

I’m Dr. Julie, and I practice integrative medicine because I’ve seen how often people are doing everything right—and still not feeling well.

My work blends acupuncture and functional medicine to look beneath the surface of symptoms and understand why patterns keep repeating. When the body’s internal systems are supported, it often knows how to restore balance on its own—pain eases, clarity returns, and healing begins to feel possible again. I specialize in autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, women’s health, and complex chronic illness—especially when nothing has fully explained what you’re experiencing yet. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, motivated, and tired of care that treats pieces of the problem instead of the whole person.

Healing, in my experience, doesn’t come from forcing the body to behave differently. It comes from understanding what it’s been responding to all along, and helping it shift from there.

If you’re ready for care that connects the dots, supports lasting change, and respects how much effort you’ve already put in, I would be honored to work with you.
