East West Natural Medicine Center

As a ICU nurse of 30+ years, I believe in results regardless of the therapy. After struggling for months with stubborn shoulder pain, I cried «uncle» and sought help from Dr Englund.)She had helped me awhile back when I had tweaked my back.)
I left my first session feeling completely relaxed (unfortunately it was 2 hours before I had to go to work) and just wanted to nap. My overall discomfort dropped by 40% after the initial visit.
My second visit was notable in a different way. Dr Englund is a master of time. I swear I was there getting therapy for 10 – 15 minutes, but my watch said 1 hour. I think Albert Einstein was searching for her equation about time! I did go home to nap after this session with a shoulder that wasn’t hurting.
She was punctual, professional and talented. I definitely recommend her !!

Never say «never» ;). I didn’t think I’d ever have acupuncture… ever.
I had back surgery a year and half ago and have been in pain since. I’ve gone through two physical therapists, walking, stretching… all with no long lasting relief.
I refuse to take pain meds.
I found Dr. Englund through a friend who’d found no relief since his back surgery. He’s doing super now since finding Dr. Englund. I’ve had two appointments and already feeling so much better. I actually look forward to my appointments;)
I expect this to be my answer.
I love the office, décor, staff and Dr. Englund’s manner and kindness.

I’m in from out of town (country actually) and was in need of some speedy relief for some lower back pain. I have an acupuncturist back at home. I found this clinic via Unilocal and gave them a try. I was very impressed with the care I received from Dr. Englund.
Because I told her I was familiar with acupuncture, she quickly had me on the table. I had immediate results and after just two treatments and was able to get back out and exercise. The swelling and pain was almost completely gone. I had been dealing with it for three weeks, all the while saying to myself «Oh, I just pulled a muscle, it will get better on it’s own», but it wasn’t.
I’ve squeezed in a third and will do one more before I head back for home.
If you have joint or back pain and have thought about trying acupuncture then this is a great clinic to visit. Dr. E. is excellent at what she does, and I’ve been to a BUNCH of different places for treatment over the years. Her office manager, Leanne, is very welcoming and on the ball. Can’t say enough good words for this office.

Dr. Julianna Englund is the most kind, knowledgable, patient, comforting person! She is modest yet brilliant and knows her practice. This was my first time and I was referred by a friend of my husbands. I couldn’t be more thrilled about my experience. I have already scheduled for another appointment next week. I suffer from migraines and tension headaches. I woke up with a headache this morning and after my appointment I am already feeling much better! I strong recommend Julianna over any other in SLO.

If you have never tried Dr. Julianna’s healing teas, you must! I especially like the Winter Immune Booster. The unique blend of herbs is both delicious and a wonderful way to avoid flus during flu season without getting a flu shot.
I also like Decongest the Chest when my sinuses act up and I’m feeling it in my lungs. Thank you Julianna for making these teas available!

Dr. Englund is by far the most knowlegeable and professional Naturopathic Dr. I have been treated by in my lifetime, I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is intuitive, insightful, and passionate about her work. She has studied many different aspects of natural healing and has a comprehensive list of tools to treat you in a truly holistic approach. I started going to her for back/​neck pain which she treated very successfully with acupuncture. I have tried acupuncture many times in the past but her approach and treatment exceeds any other treatment I have had. Her knowledge of the body, mind and spirit is amazing but her ability to gently make suggestions for you to take your health into your own hands is priceless. In addition, she helped uncover the root of my issues by asking thorough questions and offering solutions (which ended up working well for me). I always walk out feeling less stressed, relaxed and centered, and pain free. I have also recently seen Dr Englund for a throat infection that was not healing (in fact worsening over a week despite everything I tried). I was desperate but did not want to use the western approach of antibiotics. I saw Dr Englund and she prescribed and made up a batch of Chinese Herbs for me. The healing began with in hours (I couldn’t believe it)! Within in 2 days, the infection was gone. I will no longer trust my body in the hands of any other practitioner. Dr. Englund is such a blessing in my life and I just feel so lucky have found her.

East West Natural Medicine is, simply put, an extraordinary place of healing.
When you walk through the door, you’ll be greeted by Leeann, an absolute Princess of Zen. She is one of the coolest people I’ve had the pleasure to meet, and she’ll help lower your blood pressure from the moment you arrive with her chill, welcoming presence. And, if you’re like me, you get acupuncture to help with stress, as well as challenges with allergies, muscle/​joint issues… so feeling your stress melt away right from the time you step inside has a tremendous impact!
And then there’s Dr. Julianna Englund, the incredible alternative medicine practitioner whom I see at EWNM. I had high expectations for an acupuncturist when I moved to SLO, because I had such an incredible acupuncturist in my home town of Minneapolis.
Dr. Englund has exceeded every expectation I had. I looked up her bio before making my first appointment with her, and discovered that she’s a California State Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist; and she also got her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Cal Poly State University. AND, she earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree and Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree.
What all this means in practice is that Dr. Englund KNOWS the body AND the spirit. She’s incredibly intuitive, gracious, observant, and insightful, and a complete professional. I consider her the Master Health Coach and Advocate on what you could think of as my «Life Team» of people crucial to my health, happiness, and success. My physical and mental wellness, and most importantly my effectiveness in all areas of life, have improved dramatically since I began treatment with Dr. Englund. I’m so grateful to have discovered East West!

Dr. Englund worked with me to cure a very uncomfortable health issue I had for a while. After countless visits with a traditional western doctor and continuous doses of prescription medication, I decided to visit Dr. Englund. The experience was extremely professional and educational. With to the tools, strategies, and natural supplements Dr. Englund suggested, I have been able to take control of my health issue. I have been symptom free for over a year. I am very happy not to be taking harmful medication every two weeks. I also feel much more in control of my own health thanks to Dr. Englund.
In addition to working with my health issues, I have had the experience of receiving acupuncture from Dr. Englund. I have gotten acupuncture in SLO county before, and Dr. Englund is by far the best. The amount of care and education that goes into every visit is excellent. I have had appointments for pain and stress management, and every experience has been consistent, professional and educational.

Dr Julianna is great! She is very intuitive and provided me with great results for my back injury. Highly recommended!

Dr. Julianna is an amazing healer. She knows so much about the holistic approach to helping all her patients out. She helped me when I had a very painful hip injury. I could not even walk when I enter her office – by the next morning, I was almost 100%. She is very accommodating when it come to scheduling. She is highly recommended!
