Julie Lanning Von, DAOM

I have been seeing Julie for the past several months and feel thankful to have finally found such a thoughtful and talented healer. My previous experiences with acupuncture have not been great and as a trained physician I have high standards. In the past, I never thought acupuncture actually ‘did’ anything and have not been impressed by the caliber of other providers in the city. I think you need a great person taking care of you to see positive results. Hopefully, this review helps someone out there find the help they need.
Julie takes her time getting to know you, your past experiences and health problems. She is open and friendly, but also highly professional. She also has a special ability to sense things you do not tell her such as digestive upset, musculoskeletal pain or psychological distress. I was surprised by how quickly she guessed many of the things I have been struggling with before I even told her. With procedures, she takes a slow gentle approach to make you feel comfortable, but also seems to get results. I have suffered with autoimmune disease, infertility, digestive problems (and related medication side effects) and have started to notice a decrease in my symptoms already. Her office is clean and centrally located with a boutique homey feel that is very welcoming. Do not hesitate to call Julie! You will not be disappointed.

I would recommend Julie to anyone — she is incredibly skilled, 100% effective, and a sea of calm in a city that is not.
This was my first experience with acupuncture, and I went to Julie when I wanted to get pregnant at 40. She immediately put me at ease, and proceeded to ask me about my life, history, diet, etc — She really considered everything about me before she started treatment, and thought about my overall health more than any Dr. ever has. She gave me advice on my diet, and prescribed herbs. I looked forward to every appointment, my general health and energy definitely improved — and boy did I sleep well. To add icing to the cake, I was pregnant within 2 months of seeing Julie. I continued to see her every week throughout my pregnancy, and with every appointment she made adjustments to address whatever was going on with me that week.
This being my first pregnancy, I don’t have anything to compare it to — but, it seemed like a dream pregnancy, symptom and energy wise. I only slowed down and felt really burdened in the last couple of weeks. Finally, after going a week past my due date — Julie gave me a treatment that would encourage labor. I went into labor 2 hours later, and the next day I delivered a beautiful baby girl.
If I hadn’t moved to California, I would go to Julie for the rest of my life! She really is an incredible, special person who has created a genuine oasis in the middle of NYC.
