Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture - Cosmetic acupuncture is a branch of traditional acupuncture with a special focus on the health and appearance of skin. It involves a holistic approach by using clinical assessment to determine a constitutional acupuncture diagnosis to address the underlying factors in skin health. Very fine needles are inserted in the face along with synergistic points on the body corresponding with energy channels that help support the body’s life force, known as Qi. A cosmetic acupuncture session includes facial cupping and facial lymphatic drainage techniques followed by a Jade Roller massage. A customized intake will also provide recommended dietary and lifestyle changes, supplementation, customized skin care, and functional lab testing if indicated.

Julia Stolk is a Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (BCST), Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Soul Guide and Energy Healer. She began her inquiry into health over 30 years ago through work, study, play, and travel while beginning her studies in meditation and alternative health practices. It was her own journey into motherhood where her exploration of health within living systems led her to study and become a Registered Midwife. After 10 years of a full practice, she was involved in a car accident in which she was told she would not recover. This was her invitation, her call, to come back to Self and the finding and discovery of her true heart and soul’s purpose. She committed herself to a full recovery and return to health and was guided by a whole hearted belief in the body and mind’s innate wisdom to heal. After years of trial and experimentation, Julia’s commitment and tenacity did in fact lead to a much fuller recovery and BCST played a crucial role in that experience. It had a powerful and profound effect on her healing and inspired her to further her understanding of this work and hence began her training to become a Craniosacral therapist.

Today, Julia continues to follow her heart and love and dedication to learning. She is a teacher at Body Intelligence’s Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy program. And has completed studies as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, and studies in Relational Somatic Therapy. Julia continues to grow her roots in her practices of BCST, counseling, energy healing and ritual, Women’s Circles, and the dynamic space of pregnancy and birth, in the prenatal and postpartum period. She is resourced by connection with family and friends, nature and lots of laughter, and is a proud mother of two beautiful souls.
