A Whole-Body Approach Rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine

Welcome to Balance Acupuncture.

Hi, I’m Julia (Zhu, Ya) Gabriel, a Registered Acupuncturist. My work is rooted in classical Chinese medicine and Balance Method Acupuncture, with a focus on understanding the body as an interconnected whole rather than only treating isolated symptoms. I recently relocated my practice to South Surrey, British Columbia, after years of practice in Vernon and Kelowna.

Sessions are currently available at two clinic locations:

• Unit 103 – 3237 King George Blvd, South Surrey

• Unit 340 – 8063 199 Street, Langley

I currently see patients from South Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Cloverdale, Walnut Grove, and surrounding communities seeking acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine support for pain, sleep concerns, stress, digestive health, and overall well-being.

From the very beginning — even during my training — I was drawn to understanding how stress, emotions, lifestyle, compensation, and longer‑term patterns shape the body. This way of seeing the body was one of the things that originally drew me to Balance Method Acupuncture.

Whether someone is experiencing pain, digestive discomfort, sleep difficulties, emotional stress, hormonal changes, fatigue, or longer‑term imbalance, my focus is to support the body in regulating and rebalancing in a clear, precise way. For many straightforward acute pain conditions, people often notice meaningful improvement within the first few sessions, while deeper or more complex patterns generally require a longer course of care.
