Dr. Julia has been helping me for 3 years. She helped me deal with my chronic pain, helped me carry my baby to full term, and she’s helped my gut health. I’m learning about low tox lifestyle from her as well. Super quick response through email, and availability is usually 1-2 weeks out. Absolutely love seeing her, and recommend her to anyone I know looking for a more holistic approach.

Dr. Julia has helped me get to the root of some issues and has been great to work with over the past year. I appreciate she only suggests about 2 supplements at a time. I recently had a massage from Nydrea and it was fantastic!! She took a few minutes at the beginning to see what I was wanting/needing and then was very responsive throughout based on what was sore or needed more or less work. I'm thrilled to have found her and will definitely return for both relaxation and relief of muscle tension.

I started seeing Dr. Julia about 4 years ago when she saw patients in the Grapevine/Colleyville area. Her technique of adjustments helped me tremendously with a variety of injuries, helping to properly rehabilitate old injuries, shorten recover from new ones and her knowledge and technique for Acupuncture was simply AMAZING!! I had a trick knee that would simply quit working mid-stride and with two treatments into the scar tissue in a mid-section surgery -- restored the meridian nerve control over that knee and it no longer hurts or gives out mid-stride. I am so SAD she moved her practice to McKinney but rest assure that if my knee acts up in the future I will be making a trek to go see her immediately. McKinney and surrounding areas....YOU WIN!! Go see Julia!! Forever grateful...B. Barnard

Dr. Julia is amazing. I have suffered from gut issues my entire life. Over the last year and a half they have intensified due to emergency gallbladder and acid reflux surgery. My GI doctor prescribed medication that made me ill. Diet alone could not solve the problem. Since seeing Dr. Julia, my gut issues have dramatically improved. For the first time in years, I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Problem: Psoriatic arthritis Dr Julia is fantastic! Attacking the problem other than covering the symptoms. Her solutions help the body heal itself. Just keep in mind that she has to undo years/decades of damage. That takes time, have faith in the treatment. After 3 treatments I saw and felt improvement!

Rhonda Woods

Dr Julia is awesome. She got me off all the meds the doctors had me on. She had me do a 21 day challenge and I lost 50lbs. I feel so much better.

Debra Helmberger

Dr Julia takes the time to figure out exactly what is going on with your entire body as a system. She doesn’t just put band aids on your individual ailments. She finds the causes and treats those. The treatments are always specific to what your body needs to heal instead of only addressing a symptom. Dr Julia is truly a gifted professional with your health as her primary focus.

Lord Harold Ross

Dr. Augustyniak is an answer to so much that can go wrong with our physiology. She is so very responsive, kind and a God send when so much of medicine cannot or just will not, help. My recommendation is only slight compared to the great help that she has been to my life and living. Thank you Dr. Julia for your dedication and devotion in helping me live a far better life than before I met you!

I have been seeing Dr Julia for over 2 years, and can truthfully say her holistic, multi-functional approach to analyzing and understanding my body’s needs has led to tremendous improvement in my overall day to day health. What makes Dr Julia such an exceptional Dr is her genuine care, concern, and connection she shares and makes with her patients by listening intently, all with the objective of helping each one of her patients live the best life possible, utilizing natural supplements she prescribes to achieve that. What I also found encouraging is she doesn’t just have you take supplements with no end in sight, but instead uses follow-up visits to reevaluate how your body is responding and either changes or eliminates supplements as your body needs or dictates. Finally, Dr Julia never touts herself as a replacement to any other Dr you may be seeing, in my case a Cardiologist. Instead, she looks to compliment what you may already be prescribed and takes measures to ensure she’s not compromising that Dr’s recommendations. All this said, it’s incredibly refreshing to find a Dr with her integrity, character, qualifications, and a willingness to spend the time she does with her patients. Give Dr Julia a try, you won’t regret it!

Dr Julia is an excellent doctor! She is able to help me take care of multiple challenges i have had with my health! So glad I was referred to her by a good friend'
