About Us,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 didn't feel 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 and on and I am always conscious of maintaining my health and sleep. Over 20 years later I am still benefitting. 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. Education: Julie graduated in 2002 with a Masters of Science Degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California. Since graduating Julie has studied extensively with Dr. Tan and practices the Balance Method, a highly effective style of acupuncture that is not taught in schools. Specialization - Fertility and Women's Health: Fertility and women's health is Julie's passion. She has studied the work of Jane Lyttleton, Dr. Ray Rubio, and Randine Lewis who are leaders in the infertility field. She loves being able to offer quality fertility care at an affordable price as this field is extremely expensive with an average treatment priced at $200.

She is also a Diplomate of the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). |
