Julia Carpenter, LAc
Acupuncturist, Herbalist, BodyIntuitive Master Practitioner
East meets West, Ancient meets Modern.
BodyIntuitive is a powerful and effective mindbody medicine modality with deep roots in quantum physics, epigenetics and Classical Chinese medicine. Using neuromuscular biofeedback and a well-defined protocol, we will work together to decode and unlock the stories behind your health concerns, and I will guide you through simple yet powerful strategies to bring your body's systems back to equilibrium.
My work blends the latest science of health with the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine and other traditional healing modalities. Expect to experience AHA moments along the way when a long ago forgotten story that I’ve tuned into might show up as impacting your path to healing, and once we clear it, be ready for an optimal sense of wellness. We work together to clear energetic patterns that your body has stored — the ones that no longer serve you — and then we repattern whatever internal networks come up as priorities in each session. The innate wisdom of YOUR bodymind is incredible – and THAT is what drives our work together.
Reclaim your sense of agency, your wholeness, and your sense of embodied knowledge. I promise to listen with deep respect and to guide you towards a more robust, more centered YOU.

Julia Carpenter
Licensed Acupuncturist, Wellness Coach,
BodyIntuitive Master Practitioner
My superpower is holding space for people who are ready to dive deep into their healing journeys. My clients describe it as a powerful combination of medical meditation, talk therapy and intuitive coaching because I keep precision about the workings of the body and mind at the forefront of my work and I am passionate about guiding individuals on their unique wellness journeys. My knack for empathically discerning the intricate stories within the bodymind enables me to help clients release what's no longer serving them, repatterning the neural networks that need support, so that a new pathway of ease and wellbeing becomes clear and attainable.
My eclectic background led me to various careers and extensive world travels. I completed a BA in Philosophy at UC Santa Cruz, and then delved deep into Medical Anthropology, Rhetoric, and Science & Technology studies while in a PhD program at Stanford University.
While writing my dissertation, I realized I wanted to participate directly in the healing process, not just theorize about healing. This epiphany led me to another Master's degree in acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I then co-founded the Berkeley Acupuncture Project, one of the U.S.'s busiest community acupuncture clinics, which I steered for 12 fruitful years. Now, I'm fully immersed as a Master BodyIntuitive practitioner, teacher and coach.
Outside of my practice, I find joy in hiking, gardening, knitting, meditating, or simply enjoying bird-watching in the sanctuary of my yard.
I'm eager to embark on this wellness journey with you!

Testimonials
Julia Carpenter has become an indispensable partner with me in my physical (including digestive, bone, back pain) and emotional health. I don’t begin to understand her other-worldly intuitive powers, but I greatly admire her intense curiosity to always learn more about how to use them.
My experience with Julia is that during each session an ‘us’ is created. There is a joint flow of intentional energy that starts gently exploring what is currently here, including old influencers. (Imagine my surprise when Julia asked me if my father’s father’s mother had back issues – which she did!) ‘We’ then move to support change and healing. Julia drives internal re-alignments and energies. My role is often to focus on my breath and on letting go of old forces. It feels like a dance together, with Julia leading. Aren’t I lucky!!!
