I have been seeing Julie for more than 10 years and have always been extremely satisfied. I always look forward to my appointments with Julie since I know I will leave feeling energized and hopeful about solving any health problems I have. This is in contrast to some former health practitioners I have seen who use traditional Western medicine to try to push invasive procedures and pharmaceutical drugs that I don't want. Julie brings her considerable knowledge and expertise to provide acupuncture treatments and helpful suggestions to work with my body's unique constitution. Julie has helped me greatly through a variety of health problems. I recommend her highly without reservation.

When the doctor at the ER said I had Bells Palsy, I was completely clueless. I couldn't understand why this was happening and what this condition was. My Aunt immediately contacted Julie about my situation. A few days later, Julie had me undergo intensive acupuncture treatment/therapy. Stress levels were pretty high, but Julie was wonderful and after 4 weeks of acupuncture and herbs, she helped me completely recover. Aside from that episode I enjoy going to her practice for other small matters. Her TCM knowledge, warmth, and care towards her patients will put your mind at ease. I highly recommend her practice to anyone interested in alternative treatments.Susan December 3, 2013
I have used Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture for more than 30 years, with mixed results. When I found Julie, I was absolutely amazed by her. After my mother's passing, I had high blood pressure for the first time in my life; through herbs and acupuncture, Julie helped my blood pressure return to normal. Since then, I've seen her for various issues, all with good and lasting results. She's knowledgeable, warm, and attentive, and has great insight and depth. She's experienced—something I appreciate in any health care provider—and well trained, with a vast field of knowledge. If it's an issue TCM isn't equipped to address, she'll honestly let you know. And she clearly cares about her patients; she takes as much time as needed to understand what's going on, and I never feel rushed. I've recommended her to a dozen of my friends and colleagues, and I'd recommend her to anyone who's struggling with any kind of health issue.Lisa November 19, 2013
I was lead to Julie Jiayu Zhang many years ago by a fellow acupuncturist who had been unsuccessful in treating my condition and referred me to her educator …….Julie! I have not left her side since. Geographically, I live 3 1/2 hours from Julie’s practice, and not once, have I hesitated to make the drive. Julie listens, then, heals. To give but one example……. I had been diagnosed with vestibular nerve damage by “western medicine”. An otolaryngologist wanted to put me on valium and a calcium channel blocker. Another wanted to operate on the nerve (which is very close to the brain) rendering it unfunctional……… I made an appointment with Julie, her diagnoses was the same, I had a damaged nerve. It was her question of……”Why block nerve, why not heal nerve?”….. I committed to driving to Julie every other weekend for an entire summer……. she healed the nerve! Once again I am balanced. If, or should I say “when”, I find myself in need of care, I will be calling my healer……Julie!
thank you Julie, my healer, my friendVictoria Steamboat Springs, CO November 19, 2013
When I came to Julie I had been suffering with a low back injury for two months. I had tried every mode for recovery including massage, physical therapy and yoga which all seemed to make my injury worse. Fed up and frustrated I entered Julie’s office already convinced this too would fail. However, I quickly could tell she was extremely knowledgeable of the healing process and acute injuries. The acupuncture needles were painless and she continually checked in with me regarding how I was doing. She gave me a detailed recovery plan and within the week I began to see improvement. Her therapy plan was so effective that I quit going to my other therapies and began solely seeing her for the following weeks. She seemed to know exactly what I needed each week in my recovery. I feel I am finally on the right path thanks to Julie, and my biggest regret is that I did not find her sooner. I plan to continue on a maintenance program even after the injury is healed, thanks to her affordable pricing. I would highly recommend this acupuncturist, especially to anyone with a back injury.

I have been seeing Jiayu Zhang for 8 years and strongly recommend her as a comprehensive, general health practitioner, acupuncturist, herbalist, and counselor. She has been instrumental in assisting me and my wife in developing an overall preventative health care regime that has improved our lives.
I was originally referred to Jiayu for the treatment of a severe gastro-intestinal issue that several Gastroenterologists were not able to resolve; and in fact they had made me sicker with pharmaceuticals. Within a few days of taking the herbal treatment provided by Jiayu my symptoms were relieved. Over time she instilled in me an understanding of my body, and the knowledge and tools to manage my symptoms and ultimately head off issues over the long term. I rarely have gastrointestinal issues any more, and when I do I now know how to resolve them.
Jiayu has also utilized acupuncture, acupressure, moxabustion, herbal remedies and other treatments to assist me in controlling and minimizing my tendonitis and muscle pain related to Lymes Disease; and treating the associated insomnia, chronic fatigue and stress. Jiayu is an excellent teacher, and has taught me to listen to my body. She has given me an understanding of the processes that are occurring in my body, recommended dietary guidelines, exercise and other supportive regimens. Jiayu has coordinated with my Naturopath to assist me in developing an overall preventative health care regime.
My wife and I trust Jiayu to the extent that we seek her counsel for all of our health care issues. She has provided our family with an extensive array of common sense, food-based remedies to head off symptoms of common cold, flu, and other seasonal maladies. We do utilize western medicine in a limited capacity to obtain laboratory tests and analyses as required, but we utilize Jiayu to review our test results and provide us with a comprehensive understanding. We consider her a trusted friend, and highly recommend her.
