Julie Rao, Dr.TCM, R.Ac
Registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine & Registered Acupuncturist

Julie Rao brings over 30 years of local clinical experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. Her practice focuses on individualized treatment approaches aimed at supporting patients’ functional health and overall well-being across different stages of life.

Through years of clinical practice, Julie has developed a gentle acupuncture approach that focuses on minimizing treatment discomfort while supporting patient relaxation during care.

This approach is commonly applied to support individuals experiencing fatigue or burnout related to prolonged stress or demanding lifestyles. Treatment aims to help manage fatigue-related symptoms, improve sleep quality, and support the body’s natural recovery toward functional well-being.

Julie incorporates traditional diagnostic methods to develop personalized acupuncture and herbal treatment plans for a wide range of health concerns, including but not limited to:

• Fatigue and sub-optimal health conditions
• Women’s health support (e.g., menstrual health, menopausal symptoms, fertility support)
• Pediatric wellness support

• Weight management and cosmetic acupuncture
• Post-operative recovery support
• Acute and chronic pain management (e.g., neck, back, musculoskeletal or nerve-related pain)

• Supportive care during oncology treatments to help manage treatment-related discomfort
• Timely acupuncture care for sudden or episodic health concerns
