About Auburn Community Acupuncture
Julie Ormonde, L.Ac., M.Sci
My Story:
In 1997 I suffered from Narcolepsy. I tried everything western medicine had to offer me. I went to specialists, I took many different kinds of medications, nothing helped. I finally got to a point where my life wasn't worth living and I was desperate. On a whim I tried acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Within a month I started getting my life back, my sleep cycles started to regulate and the extreme fatigue was lifting. Within three months I did have my life back and I fell in love with Chinese medicine! I started school the very next semester and have never looked back. I have continued treatments off an on and I am always conscious of maintaining my health and sleep. Over 10 years later I am still free of any symptoms. I have also used it to regulate my menstrual cycles in order to get pregnant. Chinese medicine has been such a blessing in my life and I look forward to helping as many people as I can become aware of what a beautiful and powerful medicine it is.
