“Julie has been my acupuncturist for approximately 3 years.  Julie has helped me in achieving better health in my life.  When I first started seeing her she helped me through a very difficult period. I was going through menopause and the effects of it. I was also dealing with high blood pressure issues. I was being treated with Western medicine but I also coupled it with Eastern medicine.  I was treated with Chinese herbs/tinctures as well as acupuncture.  Two years ago my blood pressure stabilized.  Now, I have been able to stop taking one of my two blood pressure medications. She also has helped me with allergies and neck pain.   I know this could not have occurred without her great skill. 

Julie treats the whole person. She is a very intuitive practitioner.  She listens with her whole heart. She’s a great detective. She is open to working with Western medical doctors too. I trust her implicitly.  When I started seeing Julie, I saw her quite often but now I see her once a month. 

I have found a greater balance of better health and wellness. For me health is not only physical but also emotional and spiritual.  I thank Julie for being part of new found wholeness.  I wish for you the same.”

"I have been suffering from severe PMS for the past 9 years. I'm not talking about mere cramps or irritability. I'm talking about the inability to complete my daily activities. I had such severe cramps that the pain would make me vomit. I'd end up doubled over in a bathroom in a cold sweat writhing and vomiting for 5-6 hours. I have tried every possible solution from Western medicine to Homeopathy to Chinese acupuncture and herbs with insignificant improvements.

I happened to be out running errands when these devastating cramps struck and I knew that I would be vomiting within minutes. Fortunately for me, Julie Espy was nearby and had time to offer an acupuncture treatment to me. She was extremely kind and gentle, and my pain began to improve after the first needle was inserted. By the end of the treatment, I was feeling good enough to complete the rest of my errands, get home and cook dinner. While the cramps did return a few hours later, they were bearable and I did not vomit. I can only attribute this huge improvement to my acupuncture appointment with Julie. I have had some cramps return (during my next period) since the appointment, but the pain is significantly less than it had been, and I haven't vomited. Thank you, Julie."

"Julie is very professional, caring, and gets to the root of the problem. She has helped me with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression. If only Western doctors were this thorough. Julie also got me to be more active in my health. With Julie's care, my outlook on life has improved a lot."

"For the past four years, I have been dealing with Meniere's disease, which can include vertigo, nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, imbalance, headaches, as well as a host of other debilitating symptoms. I had a long, unsuccessful history of seeking relief from allopathic medicine. After receiving an injection of Gentamycin in my left ear (without relief), the doctors told me there was nothing else they could do for me other than another injection. No thanks! Hello, Julie!
After an extremely thorough history taking as well as tongue examinations and pressure checks, in February of 2008 I began my course of Chinese herbs prescribed by Julie. In the 7 months since taking the herbs, I have experienced only one bout of vertigo. Before then I was experiencing an average of two vertigo episodes a week. Thanks to Julie and her herbs, I am back to driving again, working on my computer and being able to function on a daily basis.

More recently, Julie has started treating me with herbs for menopausal symptoms. She is very diligent with staying abreast of any changes that are going on in my body as well as any stressors in my life. How many allopathic doctors take the time to even delve into those areas of your life? I am confident with Julie's knowledge and experience, it's only a matter of time before I will find relief from the menopausal issues, too!

Julie is not only professional, but has true compassion for her clients. What a great bedside manner! To me, that is a very important quality in a health caregiver. Thank you, Julie, for all you've done in helping my body begin its journey of healing itself and for significantly improving the quality of my life!"

"I have been suffering from MS, seizure disorders, over 9 pelvic surgeries for the last 2 decades of my life, let us not forget the deep depression that comes from not knowing how to heal from either. Since my treatment with Julie Espy, she has equipped me with tools to cope with my deep-seated demons to heal. She is my angel and continues to treat me with all her thorough knowledge of patience and nonjudgmental understanding through her practice. I never felt that I could move forward until I began treatment with Ms. Julie. She is truly a healer for all that ails you. I am so deeply grateful that I found her and would advise anyone who needs help to seek her out. I can't say enough about her contagious glow, expertise in acupuncture and them some. Her guidance is unlike any other."

"In June of 2008, I suffered a painful miscarriage. I had also been dealing a food intolerance of some sort for over a year by this time. No Western medical doctors could figure out why I would feel severe abdominal pain and sickness after almost every meal. Toward the end of the summer, I decided to contact Julie. I was very frustrated with the lack of help I was receiving with my current digestive condition. Also, I was having a very difficult time getting my menstrual cycles to even out after my miscarriage and resulting surgery. Julie was so wonderful! She was kind and gentle. She was so thorough in her questioning and diagnosis. She taught me how to be more aware of my cycles with charting and also prescribed herbs and digestive enzymes. Through her guidance and her acupuncture and herbal treatments, I was feeling like my body was finally working with me instead of against me. It is now a year later. I experience no more pain or sickness after my meals. My husband and I were able to conceive within the first month of trying thanks to BBT charting, herbs, and a healthy body. I am now 17 weeks into my pregnancy and have asked Julie to continue to treat me through my pregnancy and after. I am a firm believer that acupuncture and herbs are responsible for this incredible turnaround. I trust Julie wholly and recommend her every chance I get."

"Julie's acupuncture is like an oasis in the storms of life. I started with Julie for just that reason, and thought I was feeling fine. I was fighting weight maintenance, and had so many rules floating around in my head about what I couldn't eat that my self control couldn't handle any more. Once Julie tested me for food sensitivities, I was able to learn to eat another way and the weight took care of itself. I am now free from eczema, post nasal drip and joint ache, problems that I had just accepted as the norm before I started with Julie. My goal is never to have arthritis, which plagues every other member of my family. I'm well on my way, thanks to Julie!"
