  • 19: Ep. 19 - Dr. Julie Foster

    Julie Foster, MD, has been board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine since 2000. She was trained in Medical Acupuncture by the Academy of Pain Research in 2015 and became an energy healer in 2021. Dr. Foster blends western, eastern, and energy medicine techniques to help you find a way to heal. She opened Flowing Chi Medical in 2017 to have more time with patients and explore the realm of medical acupuncture so that she could help them heal instead of offering them a pharmaceutical band-aid over a 5-minute visit. She realized that diseases can be cured by releasing the emotional blockages in the body's energy meridians that cause disease. When her hands "turned on" in 2021, she began to play with the techniques of energy medicine, and through this, she discovered that we all have a "God particle" in the center of our body and that when those photons connect through love, "God Heals God," and miracles become an everyday occurrence. You can learn more about Dr. Foster here.

    Dr. Julie Fosters book will be released in October 2024, stay tuned for her next appearance.
