Julia Alikina, LAc

After two sessions with Julia, I felt twenty years younger. Though I didn’t have a specific ailment, I was interested to know if there was anything that could be made better. My energy improved almost immediately. I also found myself enjoying social interactions more. It was very much like turning back the biological clock. I highly recommend Julia’s work to anyone, even if you are only looking for a «tune up».

I worked with Ms. Alikina in acupuncture over several months for lower back pain. Ms. Alikina was very thoughtful and knowledgeable, spending a lot of time getting to know me, my symptoms, and how I was feeling. A lot of time and care was taken in the actual acupuncture session, and comfort was paramount. Ms. Alikina was always open and available to answer questions about treatment either during the session, or in between sessions. I am a psychologist, and I have referred several patients to Ms. Alikina to treat pain from chronic medical conditions, anxiety, and depression, with good results. I would highly recommend Ms. Alikina to anyone seeking to balance body and mind.

I worked with Julia for intense nerve pain stemming from herniated disks in my back, when all medications were bringing no relief. I am in my early 40s and was my first experience with acupuncture. I was doubtful at first, but desperate to find relief. Julia was very professional and patient and gently walked me through the basic philosophy of how she could help me achieve a reduction of pain and an increased speed for healing. I was amazed after one session how I felt small but noticeable changes in my pain levels and that was the beginning of the end of my suffering. Julia is a wonderful acupuncturist who put together a complete profile of my history, lifestyle and body type. I also appreciated her feminine wisdom and intuition regarding other areas that needed balancing: my hormones. Severe menstrual cramps that I have endured since adolescence began to abate. This was a great experience overall.

This woman saved my life! By far one of THE most educated and professional individuals I have ever crossed paths with. Having dealt with gynecological/​fertility issues and anxiety for most of my life, I have been subjected to endless doctor visits, prescriptions and misdiagnosis’s. But thanks to Acupuncture and the natural/​nutritional guidance Julia has opened my eyes to, I am now physically and mentally able to enjoy each day as though it was my first.
