About Julia Maleno
I am a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with over 10 years of experience in Eastern medicine, holistic health, and massage therapy. I specialize in treating the whole person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—through acupuncture, herbal medicine, bodywork, and facial rejuvenation techniques. I hold a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health Sciences, a Master’s in Oriental Medicine from South Baylo University, and certifications in Thai and Tui Na massage. Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, I am passionate about empowering patients with personalized care that restores balance, vitality, and well-being.

My Philosophy
I believe in treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—through natural, holistic therapies that support the body’s own ability to heal. My approach integrates acupuncture, Eastern medicine, herbal therapy, and therapeutic bodywork to help patients restore balance, relieve pain, and cultivate long-term wellness. Every treatment is personalized, intentional, and rooted in compassion.
My journey into this field began when my grandmother was diagnosed with leukemia. Watching her fight such a difficult battle awakened something in me—a deep desire to support her in every way I could. That experience led me to explore herbal medicine and acupuncture as ways to ease suffering, support healing, and care for people beyond what conventional medicine alone could offer.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with patients from all walks of life, and I continue to be inspired by the transformation that comes through this work—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. I am especially passionate about cosmetic and facial acupuncture as a way to support both outer beauty and inner vitality.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to truly listen, honor each patient’s unique path, and guide them toward greater balance, strength, and well-being.
