Services
Lie down on a heated massage table and relax as Julie customizes your treatment with cupping, nutritional counseling and herbal recommendations. Please ask about package pricing. Chinese herbal remedies rely on using medicinal plants and minerals to promote health and balance from within. Herbal formulas are specially blended for each individual, and taken as a tea.
How does acupuncture work? Acupuncture corrects imbalances within the body by stimulating specific points with small needles. It essentially relieves pain, decreases inflammation and restores the body's own ability to maintain it's natural healthy state. Does it hurt? No. There can be a sensation of dull aching or heaviness near the acupuncture point, but my practiced and gentle technique achieves maximum results with minimal discomfort.

Julie is amazing! I was feeling very anxious and depressed and over the last 6 weeks have seen a huge improvement. Julie is beyond friendly and I love checking in with her not only for the accupuncture but also just to chat with her. I go every week and plan to never stop. She’s also helped with my sleep issues and acne.

Julie is awesome and she is the BEST acupuncturist in SF, period! I found that with her treatments my energy was way, way up and that my stress headaches were basically gone. I have experienced a lot of acupuncture and Julie is the most down to earth practitioner and simply knows her stuff. I contacted her for low energy, high stress, and pretty frequent headaches. After 2-3 treatments people around me noticed that I was much calmer and chill and my wife commented about how I was not talking about headaches any longer.
Thank you for all of your help Julie!

Dr. Baumhofer is a magician. She has been treating me primarily for joint inflammation for the past three years. Her treatments have helped to moderate and prevent extremely painful flare-ups. Not many practitioners have Julie's level of experience, instinct and sense for how to select the right treatment. I highly recommend Julie.

Julie has a calm demeanor and a soothing presence. As a holistic health professional, I admire and respect her presence and patience. She deeply and compassionately listens, is extremely knowledgeable and is dedicated to her clients and their health. I've never hesitated to send a client to her, as I know they will receive stellar care.

BuTong Acupuncture is not only the best place for chinese medicine and acupuncture in the Mission, but in all of San Francisco!
I have been seeing Julie for some months now and am so pleased with my experience and results. As a fellow natural/holistic wellness practitioner, I know how hard it is to find reliable, credible and effective acupuncture. Additionally I have high standards for my personal care. I can honestly say that Julie's work is top notch! I trust her with my body and encourage my patients to see her too.
I love that I can get a moment of calm sanctuary amidst the bustle of Mission
