“I’ll be honest, I’m very picky when it comes to acupuncture. I’ve seen a lot of people over the years for my shoulder blade, rotator cuff, and neck pain, and Julia is hands down the best. She actually fixed the spots that usually get missed by everyone else. She even did a quick massage at the end which was a great touch. If you want someone who actually knows what they’re doing, go see Julia!”
