Acupuncture
Lie down on a heated massage table and relax as Julie customizes your treatment with cupping, nutritional counseling and herbal recommendation.  Ask about package pricing.
Cupping
Cupping is the art of utilizing negative pressure to promote the body's natural ability to heal itself.  Especially useful in relieving tight muscles, the sensation is similar to a strong massage.  (No initial visit required!)
Herbs
Chinese herbal remedies rely on using medicinal plants and minerals to promote health and balance from within.  Herbal formulas are specially blended for each individual, and taken as a tea.

Bu Tong Acupuncture


Julie believes in a prevention-first, integrated model of medicine and provides a personalized approach that blends Eastern thinking with Western living. She considers a patient’s willingness to make the prescribed lifestyle and diet changes that often accompany treatment to be the most important aspect of the healing process.

She has been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine since 2007, and specializes in treating women’s health, mental health, and chronic and acute pain.  As a licensed herbalist she is always happy to prescribe plant medicines when appropriate.

Originally from sunny Florida, Julie loves being outside. She can be found most days with her miniature Chihuahua Daisy, hiking in and around the Bay Area.

What makes me unique: I was very lucky to travel extensively when I was younger. Seeing people from all walks of life living so differently from myself (and each other) had a profound impact on me. I am open to looking at things in new ways and always willing to listen.

Why I practice healthcare: I genuinely enjoy helping others, and I wanted a career that would allow me to continue learning over the course of my lifetime. I have been lucky enough to find both these qualities in practicing traditional Chinese medicine.

At Bu Tong Acupuncture, I Strive:
  • To stimulate the body's natural ability to heal itself.
  • To educate on Eastern philosophies regarding health, wellness and longevity.
  • To listen to, engage and empower patients striving to achieve and maintain optimum health.
  • To practice 'do no harm' medicine and refer to other medical professionals when appropriate.
