Julie provides excellent services and is highly recommended. Office is very clean, calm, professional, quiet and inviting with an easy to find location. Her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and healing plants / herbs is amazing. I always enjoy discussing plants and trading knowledge when Im there. Its always good to support locally owned Lawrence businesses!

Finding Julie has been a God send for me.I have been battling itchy, dry and flaky skin for over two years now.It would mostly flare up in the winter but throughout the spring, summer & fall I still struggled to find the right product for me to moisturize my skin and help me with my breakouts. Especially around my cheeks and chin.Went to a dermatologist about a year ago only to be told I had rosacea as well as scalp psoriasis and that I would have it forever, told me I would never heal and wanted to prescribe meds to which I declined.I had tried different vitamins, minerals, some probiotics and all the lotions you could possibly think of on my own but I felt like something else was missing and it certainly wasn’t a pharmaceutical. I knew my body could heal if given the right thing. Or a combination of things.I was so desperate to find someone to help me.Thank goodness for Julie!She gave me some advice about foods and spices to stay away from as well as new foods and herbs to incorporate into my diet.She put me on an herbal formula, recommended me to start taking omegas with vitamin D along with a special kind of probiotics as well as suggested for me to buy a line of face products to help with my rosacea.Fast forward 3 months later and my face has cleared about a 90%. I still have a tiny bit of redness but NOTHING like it was before.I rarely get pimples anymore and my scalp has gotten so much better. Almost healed!I’m so thankful for her and totally recommend anyone with facial/skin issues to go to her and let her help you!My self esteem had been super low for such a long time because of my facial redness, bumps and constant scaring from pimples.I seriously can’t say how thankful I am for her and for the knowledge that she has in TCM.Thank you Julie for giving me my confidence back. I’ll always be grateful for you!!!

My experience working with Julie over the past couple of months has been amazing!Some background, I was positive for COVID-19 back in March of 2020 and also ended up with pneumonia as a result. For the past year I have had extreme fatigue issues, constant full body aches, tachycardia as well as other common long haul symptoms. I was finding no relief through Western medicine, the physicians I saw said other than some scarring in the lungs everything seemed normal and it was likely just anxiety. Among other issues, I ended up suffering a heart attack due to post COVID complications.At the same time I was experiencing sciatica type pain and recalled acupuncture helping me with adolescent arthritis in my late teens and decided to set up and appointment with Julie. During our initial consultation the topic of my post-acute COVID-19 or long hauler experience came up and we decided to also work on treating those symptoms.The combination of herbal nutrition and acupuncture have resulted in a massive positive change. My sciatica pain is now non-existent. The post COVID body aches are much less frequent and the overall intensity has lessened greatly. The tachycardia is significantly reduced. Simple activities like showering or taking out the trash used to send my heart rate soaring over 155. Now it only gets up to 120 at the most and my recovery time after activity is much shorter. I no longer have stage 1 hypertension and my blood pressure is back in a normal range. My insomnia problems are also improving. My overall fatigue has lessened and we are continuing to work on that.Julie makes it easy and comfortable to discuss ongoing symptoms. Her dedication and expertise allow us to make ongoing modifications throughout treatment as each of my symptoms improve.Working with Julie has given me hope for a return to normalcy and I cannot recommend her services enough, especially if you are suffering from post COVID complications!Thank you to Julie, Amy and Meg for everything you do.

Julie treats the whole person with loving kindness. She recommends lifestyle changes that are doable to help you continue your healing after you leave the office. I would drive a 1000 miles to see Julie. She is very well versed in many areas of healing and will take care of you. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Julies amazing! Shes full of positivity and always has a warm smile. Ive been going to see her for acupuncture to treat inflammation. Her competency as an acupuncturist is unquestionable. I recently started facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatments with Julie. I can already see noticeable results with more than half of the treatments remaining. I can hardly wait to see the final results! I feel blessed to be in the caring hands of Julie and her friendly staff. I highly recommend Julie Bear Dont Walk.

I have a chronic condition that can greatly impact my energy, physical health, and mental clarity. In the past, acupuncture has helped me to keep my condition from declining, and during seasonal flare ups, acupuncture lets me hang on until the seasons change. I started with Julie this Spring, during a flare up. My hope was just to keep from getting sicker, and thats it. But through her treatments, I not only stabilized - I have moved up to a level of heath and energy that hasnt been possible for me in years, much less during a bad season. This is amazing to me, and I am so grateful for the quality of life Juile has helped me achieve. She is one of the best acupuncturists Ive been lucky enough to work with. Also, her clinic/offices are so lovely and serene. Its like visiting an acupuncture spa.

Julie is terrific! Her skill with acupuncture and herbs are a real asset to Lawrence. She has helped me with a number of challenging issues and has helped me to thrive. Ive referred her to a number of friends, and all have had excellent results.

About two years ago, I was diagnosed with a ton of food sensitivities. To the point it was easier to list the things I could eat rather than list those I should avoid. And I mean avoid as in my body would evacuate itself if I ate any of them. Enough said. I have now been seeing Julie for a little over a year, and after her treatment I was able to eat my first slice of pizza in over two years! I cannot say enough how great it has been working with her, through the ups and downs as we worked to get my digestion under control. Still a long way to go but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. If you ever wonder if you might want to try acupuncture, I highly recommend Julie Johnson-Bear Dont Walk if you are anywhere near Lawrence.

I came to Julie after a very difficult health year. I had been in the hospital twice and was told I would need more surgery and prescriptions I did not want to take. I felt discouraged, fatigued and disillusioned with the tools traditional medicine had to offer. I had never done acupuncture before, but she came highly recommended by people I trust. She met with me and listened to me with compassion. I started coming for weekly acupuncture treatments and began taking Chinese herbs she recommended. Julie also sent me great information on healing foods and Qi Gong exercises. I immediately started to feel better. And after two months under her care, my surgeon said things have “vastly improved” and is no longer recommending surgery. Julie is a caring and knowledgeable healer, and I am so grateful for her and her kind staff.

Ive been seeing Julie for a year and can vouch for her excellence!! Initially, I was seeking help with fertility issues. Thanks to a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, and other diet/lifestyle changes Julie recommended, I am now 7 months pregnant!!! Acupuncture also helped with digestion and stress issues that I didnt even realize were impacting my health so profoundly. Julie is extremely professional and takes the time to listen to your needs. She is not pushy and will give you great advice for all of your questions. You will not be disappointed!

Very professional and caring. Understanding of mental health issues and physical health issues. LGBTQ+ welcome! Julie gives fantastic care.

I started seeing Julie for help with allergies and anxiety, which after four sessions I have experienced relief with both of these issues. She is a caring and knowledgeable practitioner and her space is very comfortable and soothing. I trust her as part of my wellness plan!

I started seeing Julie about 10 months ago for pain and extremely tight muscles associated with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. It will always be a problem but I could barely be up and out for very long before and now I can be busy for several hours and the tightness is not near as bad and sometimes not there at all. The lower back pain on many days is nonexistent. Shes also helped with tennis elbow that is completely better after a few treatments. My 1 hour every other week keeps me functioning for 2 weeks. My quality of life is greatly improved from seeing Julie 2 times a month.

I was sceptical of acupuncture at first. After a couple of visits I am a believer. She is professional and takes the time to understand the patients needs as well as the spirit, its all tied together dealing with the complex road map that is in our bodies.
