Our Story


Meet Julie
Hello and welcome! It is so great to meet you.
I’m excited to share my story in hopes that it will resonate with you and inspire you to make a change from running on autopilot to being your true self, your auzentic self.
For many years I was operating on autopilot - doing what others expected of me and what society considered to be the “high standard”. I worked a good and important job, and I brought home a decent paycheck; however, I wasn’t fulfilled. I felt empty inside.
Then one day I woke up. Or really, GUS (God, Universe, Source) woke me up! I got laid off from my job. I started looking for a new position in the same field, and it was then that I realized how miserable I was. I was living my life for everyone else - not for myself. So, even though I was already in my late 30’s, I dropped everything and decided to take the time to do some deep soul searching.
Making the decision to stop running on autopilot and discover what my true passion was changed my life. I started exploring meditation, I read many, many self-help books ranging from Lynn McTaggart’s The Field, to Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Eckart Tolle. I even delved into A Course in Miracles for a while. I got interested in quantum physics and the connection between God and the Universe. I was so curious about how science meets spirituality and I wanted to learn as much as I could. I watched “What the Bleep do We Know” and was introduced to some really cool ideas. And then The Secret came out and I learned about the Law of Attraction. I started reading Joe Dispenza and Gregg Braden’s works, and more recently the work of Bruce Lipton on epigenetics.
As a result of my searching, I became much more mindful; more conscious of my thoughts and feelings and how they were creating my reality. I was finally feeling more joyful and felt more self love than I ever had. It was then that I was able to choose a career path that resonated with my soul. And so I moved to California to study Chinese Medicine. During my schooling in TCM I also trained in energy medicine through the Four Wind’s Healing the Light Body School. Going through this program helped me heal on many levels and enabled me to tap into my intuition in ways that I hadn’t been able to before. Between Chinese medicine and energy healing I finally found a way to express myself in the world that fulfilled my soul and helped me be of service to others in a profound and deeply meaningful way.
Today, I am the only Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Charleston and am proud to have built a flourishing private practice. Over the last few years I’ve even celebrated being voted Best Acupuncturist in 2017 and 2018 by The Post & Courier Paper. I am surrounded by family and enjoy a life filled with meditation, yoga, functional training, swimming, running, reading, learning and an abundance of what brings me authentic joy.
I moved from autopilot to authentic and found my auzenticity. Now my new passion is to share what I’ve learned with others! So I am answering the call to help you learn how to heal on all levels – body, mind, and spirit. It is possible to break the old cycle of hate, fear and being on autopilot, and create a new paradigm of love, acceptance and conscious creating. Please join me in embracing your auzenticity!
Our Mission
why do we suffer?
It’s my belief that we suffer and become ill because we have forgotten who we are at our core.
Somewhere along the line, we start to believe we’re not enough. Not smart enough. Not thin enough. Not pretty enough. Not good enough. Not enough.
We do whatever we can to meet external expectations. Go to the right school. Get the right job. Make good money. On and on. Before we know it, we are going through motions with these automatic programs running over and over through our thoughts and beliefs. We are constantly reacting and responding to external pressures.
We are on autopilot.
This results in feeling out of touch with ourselves, which leaves us tired, anxious, sick, lost and unfulfilled. Meanwhile, our true inmost self is a Being who is connected to GUS - God, Universe, Spirit - and that force refuses to be ignored.
Wouldn’t you like to undo all those automatic programs and limiting beliefs? Wouldn’t it be great to reconnect with that authentic core Being that is YOU? Wouldn’t you love to live a life of ease, health and wealth?
There is a way to undo the limiting beliefs and automatic programs that run our lives, and it starts with breaking out of autopilot and discovering your authentic. This is auzenticity!
It starts with wearing a shirt or hat as a reminder to listen to your thoughts, acknowledge your feelings, and recognize when you’re out of touch. From there, you can start the shift back into the Being you are at your core. Watch as your world opens up, your body, mind and spirit heal, and your dreams start to come true!
Come and join our movement and live a life auzentic!
