Meet Dr. Julianna...

Dr. Julianna Englund is a licensed naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist with more than 15 years of clinical experience helping women navigate complex chronic health conditions through compassionate, integrative care. She has a special interest in interstitial cystitis (IC), chronic pelvic pain, and the role of the nervous system in persistent symptoms. Her approach combines naturopathic medicine, nutrition, bladder retraining education, pelvic floor retraining concepts, nervous system regulation, and mind-body practices to help patients better understand and address the factors contributing to their symptoms.

Dr. Englund earned both her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Her clinical training included experience in hospital settings, community clinics, and a women's health center in Bali, Indonesia.

In her private practice on California's Central Coast, Dr. Englund is known for her thoughtful, individualized approach and her commitment to patient education. She is also a long-time instructor at the California Holistic Institute, where she teaches continuing education courses on cupping therapy, essential oils, and self-care for healing professionals.

The Happy Bladder Program grew out of years of clinical experience working with women affected by bladder pain, urgency, frequency, and pelvic discomfort. The program combines one-on-one naturopathic care with carefully selected educational resources, helping participants learn practical strategies related to nutrition, bladder retraining, pelvic floor relaxation, nervous system regulation, and symptom management. Drawing from professional education, published research, established mind-body approaches, and years of clinical practice, the program provides a structured framework designed to help women feel more informed, supported, and confident as they navigate life with interstitial cystitis.
