I want to share a little more about who this work is really for.

If you’ve ever worked with me, you know that coaching has always been at the heart of who I am. Even in a treatment room, the real work was never just about acupuncture, it was about the conversations we were having, the awareness being built, and the shifts happening beneath the surface.

As I’m moving through my own season of what I call a “mid-life recreation,” I’ve come to see something even more clearly, coaching isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about asking better questions.

Questions like, Who do I need to become to achieve the life I want?

Most of us don’t struggle to reach our goals because we don’t know what to do, I think we all know what we should be doing, we struggle because we’re trying to create a new life from an old identity. We try to layer new habits on top of old patterns, beliefs, and ways of being that no longer fit.

That’s why habits only stick when they’re aligned with who you’re becoming, not who you used to be, or who you should be.

If you feel like your body, your habits, or your life are asking for something different, more aligned, more honest, I would love the chance to support you in gaining that clarity. Not by forcing change, but by offering intentional “recreation” strategies.

If you want more details on this 6 week, one-on-one, “Recreation” coaching program, DM “Aligned” or email me at JPierceLAc@gmail.com and I will send you the details!

With fresh energy,

One-On-One Coaching Available 🎉

I have been thinking of all of you often and wanted to share an exciting update!

Although I am no longer practicing acupuncture in New York, my passion for helping people improve their health and quality of life has not changed. Over the years we worked together, many of our conversations went far beyond acupuncture, we talked about stress, sleep, habits, mindset, routines, nutrition, boundaries, and navigating real-life challenges. Those conversations were often just as powerful as any treatment.

I’m excited to share that I am now offering one-on-one personal coaching, centered around the theme of “reinvention” while focusing on the same topics we worked on together in-person such as creating healthier habits, managing stress, building routines, improving overall wellness, and staying accountable to the goals that matter most to you.

This coaching is designed to give you structured, individualized support and guidance as you work toward sustainable changes in your life. It is not a medical service, but rather a partnership to help you stay focused, organized, and empowered.

Important Information

To be clear and transparent:

• Coaching is educational and supportive in nature and does not replace medical care, mental health treatment, or advice from your physician or other licensed healthcare provider.
• I do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions through coaching.
• No specific results or outcomes are guaranteed.
• Any decisions you make regarding your health while participating in coaching are your personal responsibility and should be discussed with your medical provider when appropriate.

Coaching Program Details

I am currently offering a focused program:

6-Week One-on-One Coaching Package – $750 ($125/session)

This includes:
• Weekly private coaching sessions
• Personalized goal setting and action planning
• Ongoing accountability and support
• Tools and strategies tailored to your lifestyle
• Direct communication with me between sessions as needed

This program is ideal if you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward and would like dedicated guidance from someone who already knows your history and goals.

If you’re interested in learning more or want to see if coaching would be a good fit for you, send an email to JPierceLAc@gmail.com and we can set up a free 15-minute conversation.

It has been an honor to work with you in the past, and I would love the opportunity to continue supporting you in this new way!

With fresh energy,

Julian Pierce, L.Ac.

While this article may be overstated, the article draws on real scientific findings. For example, stem cell release is real, a genuine 2017 study (not from 2025 or specifically from a "Taiwanese" China Medical University, but a collaboration including U.S. and South Korean researchers) published in the journal Stem Cells did find that electroacupuncture mobilizes mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into circulation in rats, humans, and horses. The ~300% increase figure comes from this animal study.

The actual research is more nuanced and primarily explores the underlying biological mechanisms in animal models. More research needs to be done but still exciting to see what this ancient medicine can do 💫

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

As much as my heart is soaking up this new season of coastal living, there will always be a part of me deeply rooted back home. 🤍 The community I built, the relationships formed, and the small businesses that poured so much love into their work still mean the world to me.

While I wish I could be there in person to support local businesses during the holiday season, I want to take a moment to shine a light on a few that truly left a lasting impact on me.

(In no particular order)

✨ Lotus Valley Wellness for guiding me through astrology, vision board creation, and life coaching during pivotal moments of growth.
✨ Deeply Rooted Wellness and Reborne Healing for their dedication to the community and their collaborative efforts in expanding awareness around alternative healing modalities.

For all things beauty, these were always my go-to’s:

🧖‍♀️ Alyssa at Spa On The Avenue
✍️ The Wax Canvas

💆‍♀️ Palm Willow Massage and Bodywork
