Julie’s Journey
My journey into the world of Oriental Medicine began when I was seven years old. I grew up in a household where Eastern and Western medicine worked together. My dad, Stephan J. Sigler, was a Harvard trained doctor who studied acupuncture. He was influential in getting two Chinese acupuncturists licensed in the State of New York. I can remember them coming to our house and brewing herbal teas and taking my pulses. My dad and mom worked together for twenty years, and I learned so much about how to integrate Western and Eastern medicine.
As a child, I suffered from chronic sinus infections and eczema and acupuncture treatments, dietary changes and herbs cleared up my complaints. I felt a deep sense of peace, and by the time I was fourteen I knew I wanted to be a acupuncturist. I studied Chinese Medicine and focused my energies on pulse diagnosis. All of my educational experiences, including my college work, prepared me for the rigorous demands of achieving a Masters in Acupuncture. Four years into my acupuncture practice, however, I realized I needed more in-depth tools and experience to further help my clients reach their potential.
In 1997, I went to study in Beijing, China. I worked at Guang An Men Hospital, at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the clinic, we saw over 80 patients per day. When I was not in the clinic I was studying theory and Chinese culture. Upon my return from China, in the Fall of 1997, I began my twelve-year course of study with Jeffery Yuen. I completed an herbal certification program and dove into the Chinese Classics (The Su Wen, and The Ling Shu), and the study of essential oils.
From 2010-2012 I completed a Kiiko Matsumoto certification program at the New England School of Acupuncture. Kiiko's style is highly effective in treating pain, supporting the immune system and in women's health/ fertility.
In 2016, my son was losing his battle with Dravet Syndrome.
Dravet Syndrome is a genetic mutation Epilepsy. After years of uncontrolled seizures and steady decline, I found the Neuro -Acupuncture Institute and completed the program in 2019. I am proud to say that Neuro-Acupuncture not only saved my son life it improved his functioning. Along with Western Medical care, Liam can now play basketball and has been seizure free for 3 plus years. I am inspired by East Asian Medicine and use it in my daily life to help myself, my family and my patients to heal.
I look forward to working with you.
Best Wishes, Julie
