I came to Julieta during a very difficult time in my life and I was struggling with chronic back pain. Julieta introduced to me to a powerful healing experience: the integration of releasing painful stuck emotions with aromatherapy which relieved my back pain, along with gentle touch to guide my nervous system to heal, itself! Julieta's gifts of compassion and genuine care along with her tools for self empowerment and self healing offer a powerful healing experience. I highly recommend her work!

Dr. Julieta is a healer in the highest and most beautiful capacity. Foremost, she has a mastery of knowledge over her field and can pinpoint exactly which vertebra or vertebrae need work upon feeling or even looking at your spine. She is also super intuitive. I always leave her office feeling amazing-- my body AND mind have both undergone extremely positive transformations from her work. There is definitely a subtlety to her adjustment technique, but in my opinion this is one of the things that makes it so magical. Simply put, there is no other chiropractor I would trust with my spine.

I love Dr. Julieta. With a few very subtle touches. painful issues are resolved. I found her methods infinitely more successful than other forms of chiropractic. Between herniated discs, fusions, and vertebrae pressing on nerves, I found i t wonderful to be relatively pain free.

What an amazing experience of connecting mind, body and spirit. It was delightful to have Dr. Julieta guide me through some self-adjusting. Her guidance was spot on. It is very important to tend to our own needs, especially while we are so joyfully focused on the welfare of others. I highly recommend her!
