Program Director Julie Segall, Lic.Ac., Dipl.CH
National Board Certified (NCCAOM) in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology
"My first experience with acupuncture many years ago utterly changed my life. I had never felt such overwhelming peace and calmness in my body before. It allowed me to gain a new perspective on how a person should feel on a day-to-day basis: balanced. That same year, I began studying Chinese medicine at the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Racine, Wisconsin.

"After graduating from school and passing the national board examinations (NCCAOM), I began attending labors in the hospital, using acupuncture to progress the labor, moderate pain levels and calm the mother. Pregnancy became a major part of my practice and I eagerly moved into all aspects of women's healthcare. I founded Healing Ground in 2001 where I specialize in gynecology and obstetrics. "

A Focus on Fertility
"My practice focuses on all issues for women, but the majority of my work is enhancing fertility for couples. I see the greatest changes occurring when both individuals take active roles to strengthen themselves and their chances for conception.

"Based on this conviction, I created the Fertile Options approach to fertility. The approach balances each person physically and emotionally while it deepens their connection to their partners. This strengthens their reproductive systems, and allows them to be in an optimal state for conception.
