Juliana Kramer, L.Ac
I specialize in helping deeply sensitive people vanquish the inner critic so that they can live joyfully in alignment with their true values. As a Subtle Realm Coach, I arrive with very finely attuned attention. Specifically, I can feel the quality of the sensation and where the emotional holding pattern is located in the physical body, what I call empathic attunement.

For example - a client feeling fear may have a sudden clenching in the solar plexus that is dense, dark, with a prickly texture. I will sense that in my own solar plexus and know that something in them wants attention there to unfold. It is helpful to have a guide here because these sensations are frequently bypassed due to discomfort or the need to be productive versus reflective.
Services
Juliana (she/her) left the world of advertising and graphic design in 2005 to pursue the call to heal others, and became a successful Massage Therapist. Then in 2007, after experiencing an acupuncture treatment that provided great relief for a bout of sciatica (pain down the leg) she became fascinated by acupuncture and took the leap to study the art and science of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
I help deeply sensitive people vanquish the inner critic so that they can live joyfully in alignment with their true values. Feeling a lot. When feeling so much it's easy for the inner critic to have a field day, adding a layer of shame on top of whatever else is there. Drowning in shame and fear there is a drive to be rid of that part deemed defective.
Sessions generally require 90-120 minutes for diagnosis and treatment. They include a detailed intake, diagnosis specific to Kiiko Matsumoto Style acupuncture, and incorporating other styles as indicated, and treatment using needles and possibly other modalities (moxibustion, gua sha, cupping, diode rings, diode chain, tiger warmer) depending on what is indicated.
I will get back to you within a couple business days to let you know exactly what is covered and my upcoming availability. If you have any questions please send an email via the form here or from your email system to info@julianakramer.com. To prepare for your visit please wear or bring loose fitting clothing with access to arms and legs above elbows/knees.

Juliana is a magical Acupuncturist, body worker, herbalist, and healer. My sessions with her have felt very safe and co-created. Juliana is respectful of my body's needs and meeting me where I am at on a given day. I really appreciate their mix of modalities during our sessions (Acupuncture needle work, cranio sacral holds, deep tissue massage, herb supplements, and more). I have had chronic pain for a while and I can truly feel the healing effect of their work on my bodymind.

Juliana is a knowledgeable and compassionate holistic healer that I would recommend to anyone seeking greater overall health and wellness in their lives. I started seeing Juliana over a year ago when I was experiencing numerous side effects from treatment to a serious health condition. Juliana has helped my body to fully recover from several of these conditions and make great improvements in other areas that I wasn't sure was possible. She truly cares about her work and clients and always takes the time to listen to the details of what I'm going through. She offers lots of useful suggestions

If I could give Juliana 6 stars, I would!! She's wonderful - I've been coming to see her for about 2 months now and I am loving it! She is a wonderful listener and is so thoughtful. I always feels so great after my sessions with her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an acupuncturist.

We recently relocated to Berkeley from LA and I was concerned I would not find an acupuncturist as great as the one I was leaving, I was wrong. Juliana is an incredible acupuncturist, she is warm, compassionate and and determined to get to the root cause of your health issues. I visited with multiple layers and she cleverly peels each layer back to heal you physically, mentally and emotionally. She is extremely skilled at healing pain, hormonal and emotional imbalances. She is an authority in her craft and treats each visit with fresh eyes, perspective and determination to ensure she is getting

Juliana is wonderful! I've been seeing her for acupuncture for a year and a half and I think her treatments have really helped my seasonal allergies. She is so warm and kind, and she really takes the time to ask questions about what's going on physically, emotionally, and mentally. I leave my sessions with her feeling so relaxed and cared for. One thing to note is that I was new to acupuncture and it took me a few sessions to get comfortable with it and feel any benefits- so give it some time!

Juliana is the *best* acupuncturist I've ever been to, and I've tried a bunch.

She has wonderful bedside manner, and she's deeply committed to getting to the root cause of my underlying health issues. Her specific style is a unique Japanese one that is gentle and precise. Unlike other styles, with hers I get instant feedback that my symptoms are reducing. She is constantly researching and attending courses to further her skills and support her patients. It is clear she is passionate about her work and aligned with her purpose.

She creates such a relaxing, gentle, safe atmosphere

I saw Juliana last Tuesday and she was amazing. I have multiple health problems and she listened and figured out what acupuncture treatment would work best for me. During and after the treatment, I felt pain free. The is the first time in many many years where I felt like my cloud of pain had been lifted and there was light at the end of the tunnel. She was also gentle, patient and kind, as this was my first acupuncture experience.

She is also very personable, we made Harry Potter, ET, and Wizard of Oz jokes. I left feeling like an oiled tin woman ready to conquer the world.

I can't say enough good things about Juliana- she's such an intuitive healer who incorporates different techniques from cupping to acupuncture to recommending TCM herbs to get you the desired result so you leave feeling the best version of you.
The first time I saw her she came to my house the second time I came to her studio, both times I had excruciating neck pain where I couldn't turn my head at all. By the time I left I was feeling significantly better and she truly is a delight to be around.

Simply the best. Not much more to say. Had pain. Now I don't. I went to Juliana with lower back pain and also some neck pain. It is rare to find an acupuncturist that can also do massage, and both really well. Not only did I go to her for acupuncture, but also for some very specific massage efforts. Other acupuncturists are always trying to get you in and out. Juliana takes her time in a way that I have never seen. I know you have options, so did I . I used to go to various places, now I consolidate. I always leave feeling better.

Juliana gave me emergency acupuncture with a side of wonderful life coaching - I have to say, not only was it a gift for me that she was available and willing when I needed it, the work was also the bomb. Too bad she's on the other side of the country for me, lucky for you!

I went to an acupuncturist with 20 years experience and then to Juliana fresh out of school and I had a much better experience with Juliana! She brings much care and compassion and information to your experience! She helped me get to the root of a severe itch problem with needles and Chinese herbs! I'm very grateful for her and highly recommend her! She's calm, grounded, present and easy to talk to!

Juliana is amazing! I highly recommend her for acupuncture and massage!

I found her back in July when I was searching for an "emergency" massage on the yelp pages. After a couple of years of sleep deprivation and lack of self-care (thank you motherhood) I had a hit a wall and could not take the discomfort I was experiencing for another second! Turns out I was also dealing with an ovarian cyst that was adding to my discomfort.

Juliana is incredibly intuitive and attuned to energy in the body. I don't mean to sound all woo-woo, but she knew exactly where I was hurting, how

Great massage. Went in because of stress headaches, and I feel much better. It is only a day after, and all the tension is gone in my neck and shoulders. Would recommend her to anyone.

Absolutely the best Deep Tissue Massage in Northern California! I have chronic stress/pain in back, neck and arms and Juliana is the only person brave enough to go as deep as I need her to go. She's very good at meeting requests, respecting boundaries, and trusting her intuition. I recommend her completely.

GREAT friggin massage action

I got an hour and a half massage from Juliana, and it was one of the best I've recieved. She does an amazing job at making sure you're really comfortable.

I also had my first cupping there too, which is a practice where glass cups are applied to your skin. Being that I had never done that before, she did a great job of making it very non-scary for me.

I highly reccomend Juliana Kramer as massage therapist for everyone. Regardless if you were an athelete or sitting insinde cubicle staring at a computer moniter for 8 hours or suffering from a form of ache, she has the magic touch that will make you feel much better. I have better mobility, endurance, and overall energy after one session. I will most definitely get further sessions from her in the future.
