Julia has quite literally changed my life. Since visiting the clinic in July 2024, to now, I have seen her every week, and it is the highlight of my week. Julia listens to you and makes you feel safe. She has a holistic approach and will never, ever dismiss any of your concerns. I have PCOS and for years was told everything was fine, based on the regular periods which doesn’t often occur in women with PCOS, however all other symptoms were over looked, the pain, the PMS - so severe I was borderline depressed every month. It wasn’t until seeing Julia that I noticed a HUGE change in my cycles. I became more aware of my body. I now barely even notice a period. But it doesn’t stop there, she helped me through my grief when I lost two close people, she helped me navigate my emotions and connect with my body. She helps with headaches, stomach aches, anxiety and stress, back pain, gallstones, literally anything, she is a healing goddess!! She continues to heal me every visit. I can’t stress enough how life changing she has been for me, both physically and mentally. The clinic in general, is just a great vibe, from the moment you walk in you are welcomed with Cathy’s warm smile it is a safe place and it is my happy place. Thank you ladies for all you have done for us ♥️

I’ve been visiting Rebalance for acupuncture and cupping sessions, and I’m very pleased with the results. My general health has improved significantly—I’m sleeping better, feeling less stressed, and have noticed a reduction in anxiety. Their multivitamins are also excellent and complement the treatments well. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being!

Not sure if I could've survived the past few months without Dr. Julia. I came to her after my father passed away - severely depressed, stressed, with zero energy and she has helped to bring me back from the dead in a matter of weeks.Her compassion & dedication to her patients, paired with her expertise are a powerful combo.Also the clinic is always immaculate and Cathy at reception is hilarious. Thank you Rebalance Team for all that you do, always look forward to the next appointment. 🙂

I had weekly acupuncture in last few weeks of pregnancy as well as a session with Julia and my partner learning acupressure points for pregnancy and birth. Julia was very warm and professional. We learned tons and we were able to put it into practice because Julia made everything clear and easy for us. The acupuncture sessions became the highlight of the week at pregnancy’s end, really assisted with comfort, energy and stress.

I was recommend to rebalance Chinese medicine by a friend. So happy I took the plunge and started acupuncture. I was a little nervous. Lovely Cathy at reception greeted me with a smile. I then met Julia who showed me around. The clinic is so clean and has a real calm vibe. Beds are comfortable and the heat lamps keep you warm and toasty whilst you drift off. My treatment is ongoing. Julia is extremely knowledgeable and really gentle. She is also really calming and sets your mind at ease. Give it a go. You will not regret it. Always leave happy and most of all calm. Thanks Julia and Cathy. Renee Holmes

Seeing Julia for treatment has been a huge benefit to my health.Like many people I have arthritis but for the past 2 years I've also had bursitis and tendonosis in my right hip which had been very painful and restricted my movements including making it very difficult to walk up any incline at all and causing a lot of pain at night.After the 1st treatment I walked out without any pain at all. I couldn't believe it.The pain returned in about 24 hours but after each treatment the pain was reduced for longer periods, until I was finally pain free for the majority of time.I am now able to walk up steps without any pain and walk long distances which has increased my fitness. I didn't have much faith after all the treatments I've received but it has really changed my life.

Rebalance is truly a sanctuary of positivity and spirituality. The atmosphere exudes calmness and serenity, making it a favourite retreat of mine. The staff, particularly Cathy, stands out with her remarkable generosity and warmth. She goes above and beyond to accommodate guests, making each visit feel incredibly welcoming.Dr. Julia is an exceptional individual, embodying a holistic approach in her interactions. Her wealth of knowledge is evident, yet she ensures that patients never feel overwhelmed. Instead, she prioritizes understanding their emotional well-being, consistently checking in to gauge their comfort and state of mind. Since beginning weekly sessions, I've already noticed significant improvements in my health, thanks to Dr. Julia's genuine care and dedication to her patients' welfare.For anyone seeking compassionate and effective care, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Dr. Julia and the team prioritize the comfort and well-being of their patients, making every visit a positive and transformative experience.

I’ve been seeing Julia on a regular basis for well over 1 year. I went to her with a specific pain issue and over time and with her holistic approach using Acupuncture, Cupping, herbs etc my pain has decreased dramatically.Healing takes time and I highly recommend Julia for her caring approach to her clients.

I am so grateful to have found the Rebalance clinic and highly recommend Julia’s expertise in TCM. Julia has been able to pinpoint, treat and guide me on my long term health issues that I have battled to find answers for. From my very first appointment I was warmly welcomed by Cathy at reception and immediately felt comfortable upon consultation with Julia. A professional, friendly and safe experience which has continued with each visit.

I have been seeing Julia fortnightly for 18 months since suffering a stroke. WIth many muscular issues caused by the stroke and medication I was struggling to keep up with excercise. After treatment by Julia I always come out refreshed, relaxed and pain free. Julia is very friendly and professional and has been expert at listening to and resolving the many issues I have encountered.

I can’t recommend Rebalance highly enough. After my first session with Julia I experienced powerful results, with ease in the area I had sought treatment for as well as benefits in so many other areas that I wasn’t even aware were out of balance! Julia’s approach is caring, compassionate and takes a holistic approach to your wellness. She empowers you to incorporate proactive measures in your own time so that you can speed up your results and understand how to care for yourself in the longer term. An amazing experience, care for the body mind and soul!

Julia’s practice is infused by warmth and kindness. She has a genuine concern for the welfare of clients that is reflected in her attentive investment in their health outcomes. Cathy at front desk is a wonderful woman who makes the clinic feel welcoming and comfortable. During a recent health scare, Julia and Cathy regularly checked in on me and offered tailored acupuncture treatments based on my needs. I felt totally supported, both professionally and personally. Together, Julia and Cathy make magic happen at Rebalance!

I was highly recommended to see Julia Bartrop through a friend who was going through a similar ivf journey to me. I was hesitant at first as I had never done accupuncture before and wasn’t really sure of the benefits. I knew the stress of ivf and trying for a baby was getting to me and I knew I had to do something productive from my mind and body.From the first visit Julia was a breath of fresh air. She made me feel instantly relaxed and safe and provided me with so much helpful information. Julia goes above and beyond what her role entails. She is empathetic, kind and caring. I always feel supported. Julia helped me with herbs for fertility and worked with me through my ivf journey providing me with acupuncture and pointers along the way. I’m currently almost 39 weeks pregnant and Julia still works along side me, helping with pressure points and working with my partner to help when I’m in labor. She really is such a professional in her field and is so very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Julia and her team to everyone. You will literally leave feeling like a better you.

Julia at Rebalance was there for me at an extremely vulnerable time just before the birth of my child. I was advised at 40 weeks pregnant from my provider that I'd be induced if I didn't go into spontaneous labour before 41 weeks. I came to Julia for birth prep acupuncture which I believe after a few sessions, as well as a relaxing massage around back and pelvic area, combined with acupressure work at home that I naturally went into labour right on my induction date. Julia was very kind and went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend this clinic. 👌

I can’t speak highly enough of Julia! Having struggled with chronic pain issues accompanied by digestive issues for most my life, Julia has been a godsend!She is the most thorough medical practitioner I have ever been to. It is always feels like a blessing to have a session and float out afterwards. The practice itself is so welcoming and calming.She has changed myself and my partners (who struggles with endometriosis) life exponentially.

Julia made a huge improvement on my plantar fasciitis problem from the first visit, and has helped greatly with hormone and sleep issues. She is caring and knowledgeable. I always left her clinic feeling so much better.

I am a big fan of the Sleepy Tea. I’m a light sleeper and found with two young children my sleep was very broken. I didn’t want to resort to pills that would make me feel like a zombie. The sleepy tea, was soothing and gentle, it didn’t make me feel zonked. I found that I slipped into a sleep state much more smoothly and if I was woken, I could deal with the problem with a clear head and could slip back into an easy sleep once back in bed. I highly recommend this tea.

Julia is an expert in her field. I have resolved many health issues with Julia's help, which extends beyond TCM (acupuncture, cupping, herbs etc) to lifestyle and diet advise. Julia is a holistic, integrative and kind practitioner, who listens and gives honest advice. Julia's quality of care is second to none, I highly recommend her, particularly for womens issues.

Julia from Rebalance is absolutely outstanding. She does acupuncture and cupping on me and honestly it makes a significant difference to my ability to function. I have been to many different body treatment specialists (massage, Physio, Chiro etc) and have found Julia to be the one I return to over and over again, as she is the one whose treatments work!

I started working with Julia during our IVF journey. After having 14months of trouble I decided to work with Julia as I have heard acupuncture can help a lot. Not only did that cycle work and we became pregnant but with Julia’s knowledge of all things fertility I was a lot less stressed with her extra support.I continued to work with her during my entire pregnancy as we worked through nausea, fatigue and many other pregnancy symptoms.I can not thank Julia enough for all her help and checking in to see how I’m going.Highly recommend
