About Juliann Abecassis, AP, Dipl. O.M.
Balanced Healing with Juliann (formerly Balanced Healing of Jacksonville) was founded by Juliann Abecassis-Walsh in 2016 with a heartfelt mission: to create a space where patients felt seen and where healing is possible.
Juliann built a thriving practice in Jacksonville, Florida, where she led a team of wellness professionals and also worked part-time as an acupuncture physician at Mayo Clinic’s Department of Integrative Medicine. Over time, she transitioned away from her clinical director role to focus more intimately on individualized patient care. After the birth of her son, she closed her physical office and embraced a telehealth model—with the exception of bi-monthly injections offered at Sanders Chiropractic in Jacksonville—allowing her to continue serving patients with flexibility and focused attention.
At Balanced Healing, patient empowerment and education are at the core of everything we do. Juliann is passionate about helping you become your own greatest health advocate—so you can live a vibrant, balanced, and healthy life.
Through Balanced Healing, Juliann offers a telehealth experience that meets patients where they are - creating a connected, accessible, and deeply personal approach to wellness.
Her clinical focus includes complex or “mysterious” illness (often related to mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and co-infections), hormone and gut imbalances, stress-related conditions, and restoring the body’s natural ability to heal through integrative care.
Outside of her work, she finds joy in nature, gardening, reading, working out and spending time in the kitchen cultivating new recipes. Most of all, she cherishes time with her husband, their spirited little toddler, and their beloved fur-babies.
Her hope is that we all find peace and inspiration in our healing journeys. That even the dark twisty roads take us some place beautiful. And that through this all, we learn and we love.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. During your initial consultation, we’ll take the time to understand the full scope of your health challenges and create a practical, personalized treatment plan aimed at managing, reducing, and ideally alleviating your symptoms.

Your health, safety, and well-being are always our highest priority.
Absolutely. Juliann has extensive experience working with children of all ages and offers gentle, individualized care for little ones and teens alike.

Juliann uses an integrative, whole-person model that blends natural therapies and ancient medicine practice with traditional insight to restore and maintain health.
Unlike a conventional doctor’s visit, your consultation is not rushed. You’ll be asked a wide range of questions—many that may seem unrelated to your primary concern. This is because we take a whole-person approach, looking at how all aspects of your health are interconnected in order to uncover and address root causes. Sessions are thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to you.
Functional lab testing may be recommended as part of your care. These tests go beyond standard panels to evaluate how your body’s systems are functioning on a deeper level. Lab testing may an be an important piece of the puzzle in understanding your health and guiding your personalized protocol.
Every care plan is highly individualized and created through a collaborative process. You and Juliann will work as a team to determine your goals and how to best reach them. Your active participation is essential—healing is most effective when approached with dedication and active involvement.
Everyone! Holistic, preventive care benefits individuals at all stages of health. Whether you’re navigating a chronic condition or simply seeking to optimize your well-being, establishing a relationship with a provider who views your health holistically can offer meaningful, long-term support.
We reserve up to 90 minutes for your initial session to ensure we fully understand your health history and goals. The frequency of follow-ups varies based on the complexity of your case - each plan is unique and tailored to you.
Insurance is not accepted at this time. However, a superbill can be provided upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
My husband had GI issues for years. He was given prescription medication, had endoscopies/colonoscopies, numerous tests, and nothing helped and we had no answers. We thought he was just going to have to live with these issues. That was until we found Juliann. She put him on a protocol and within 6 weeks, his issues were completely gone and have stayed away for almost a year now. It’s not often you find someone that is so knowledgeable and also really cares about you and your families health and longevity but we found that with Juliann and are forever grateful!
