Julie worked in Ophthamology for 14 years, graduating from the University of Florida COMT program in 2000.  In that time she worked for several prominant Ophthamologists around Jacksonville, FL gaining valuable experience working with various doctors as well as patients.  She gained a thorough understanding of the nuances of healthcare from how to run a medical office, display proper office etiquette, to the best ways to communicate with patients and be attentive to their needs.  She's experienced the things that do and don't work in an office environment and wanted to someday have a practice of her own to apply this knowledge. 

In 2007 a motorist ran a red light and T-Boned her car resulting in injuries to her rotator cuff, SI joint and discs in her back as well as neck.  She refused to have surgeries knowing there had to be a better way which prompted her to enroll at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine in Orlando, FL to learn about Eastern medicine.   

With combined backgrounds in Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and knowing the pains of an accident victim, Julie has the unique perspective to truly understand the patient's point of view while being able to effectively communicate Eastern concepts with Western doctors.  This experience summed with her passion for helping people and constant drive to stay ahead of the curve with technology sets her apart from other practitioners.
