Balance Acupuncture Clinic –

South Surrey / White Rock

A whole-body approach rooted in classical Chinese medicine

Welcome to Balance Acupuncture South Surrey / White Rock.

Hi, I’m Julia (Zhu, Ya) Gabriel. I offer individualized acupuncture sessions rooted in classical Chinese medicine and Balance Method Acupuncture.

People visit from South Surrey, White Rock, Ocean Park, Crescent Beach, and surrounding communities seeking support for both immediate concerns and longer-standing health patterns. At Balance Acupuncture, this may range from working with acute or clearly localized pain—where precise, channel-based treatment often brings noticeable change within the first few sessions—to steadier work with deeper or longstanding patterns.

You can also learn more about the broader philosophy and clinical perspective behind my practice on the homepage and blog.

Treatment Approach

Each treatment is individualized based on the person’s overall presentation and current state. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, Chinese medicine looks at patterns within the body and how different systems may be influencing one another, helping treatment address both immediate concerns and broader patterns of health.

Depending on the situation, treatment may also include:

Simple home acupressure guidance
Pulse and tongue observation
Dietary suggestions
Seasonal wellness support

Client Reflections

My work was previously based in Kelowna and Vernon. I’ve recently relocated to South Surrey / White Rock, where I continue the same approach.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first session with Julia and left feeling a lot better than when I walked in! She brings a calming presence into the room and maintains a quiet environment through the session. I appreciated her gentle approach, as it allowed me to completely relax and enter a very restful state. She was recommended to me by a friend and I can see why!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with acupuncture has been amazing… all performed by Julia and for separate purposes over the past four years.
Prior to this treatment I had received unsatisfactory solutions to some painful and annoying physical problems for which no solutions seemed to be available, particularly for trouble with my left arm and later with a painful and stiff right knee.
On a separate occasion I awoke to an extremely painful shoulder, this was solved within 30 minutes by some needles application in my ankle!
With a lifetime of generally excellent health Julia has enabled me to continue happily into my eighties … and as an appreciative
Believer in acupuncture… and Julia!
Thankyou Julia!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband had very strong hiccups every two to three seconds for over a week! We decided to see Julia. The first treatment was over an hour as she worked constantly with both needles and acupressure to bring the hiccuping down to about 5% of what it was. She's a natural teacher, and while she worked she explained the problem producing the hiccups in detail. She is knowledgeable, caring and engaged. Highly recommend.

She helped my hip problem in only one treatment and has been very successful in improving several other ailments from nasal congestion to frequent bathroom visits. She is a very genuine and caring person as well. I was a sceptic at first , but my health has been greatly improved due to Julia’s knowledge in this field I highly recommend her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in with a tight IT band and hip flexors that decreased my mobility when walking and was very painful. After my treatment, I literally had no pain when I walked after. She is very attentive and gentle. I appreciated how she gave thorough explanations about the procedure and how it works.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julia is amazing. I have a rotator cuff issue that no one has been able to help with. Treatmebt is very different from main stream acupuncture but really helps. My back locked up a couple weeks ago and after suffering for days I wnt to Julia and in one treatment my lower back released and I could move properly again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In my 1st visit with Julia I couldn’t believe how thorough she was in asking numerous questions about my health history. She covered everything. I went to she her for numerous visits and she targeted all the areas that needed targeting. I highly recommend her if you believe in Accupuncture. She is extremely professional and personable and knows her stuff. The office staff is very friendly and accommodating.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Julia!! My 12 year old son had a problem with wetting the bed as he is such a deep sleeper. I tried many other ways to fix this issue and the only thing that has finally worked is acupuncture. He now can sleep 12 hours without any problems and has finally even woken up to go in the night a couple times. She’s great with kids so don’t hesitate to try. You won’t regret it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an accountant, I need to stare at the computer all year round. My cervical spine has always been uncomfortable and I feel pain when I move a lot. But after five minutes of acupuncture, the pain was relieved quickly. It's amazing.
