Heart Wisdom & Integrative Medicine with Dr. Giulietta Octavio

Clinical Doctor of Chinese Medicine | Herbalist | Healer | Founder of Ceybon AF

Are you ready to elevate your mood, reduce pain, glow from within, and reconnect to your essential well-being?

I'm here to walk with you — not to fix you, but to help you uncover what’s already wise and whole within. True healing begins not with fighting symptoms, but by listening to them. Every challenge you face is an invitation to transform, to become more yourself, and to rise with greater clarity, joy, and self-love.

For over two decades, I’ve helped thousands of people move through illness, trauma, and transition to reclaim a more vibrant, easeful life. With a background that bridges science and spirit — a BA in Somatic Therapy, an MS and a Doctorate in Integrative Chinese Medicine — I bring an integrative approach to every encounter.

My work is rooted in clinical precision, intuitive care, and plant-based wisdom. Whether through acupuncture, breathwork, coaching, or a simple ritual drink, I help you reconnect with your body’s intelligence and your heart’s knowing.

Through our work together, you’ll develop not only more energy, resilience, and peace — but also the tools to meet life with grace and courage.

Healing with me is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about discovering what’s possible.

In addition to my clinical practice, I’m the founder of Ceybon AF — a line of functional, non-alcoholic aperitifs crafted with adaptogens, mushrooms, and herbs. Designed as a joyful alternative to alcohol, these drinks are part of the medicine: they help you relax, uplift your mood, and celebrate life without compromising your clarity or wellbeing.

If you're ready to feel deeply supported, seen, and nourished — I’d be honored to walk with you.

Modalities

ANS Reset Techniques

Open tab

Autonomic nervous system reset techniques diagnose and heal stress, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. I use them to flip the nervous system out of fight or flight and into a ventral vagal state, or into relaxed alertness

Acupuncture

Open tab

Acupuncture is the ancient science of placing fine needles in the body, strategically, to restore homeostasis (aka balance). The needles do not hurt. I use acupuncture in a unique way — to shift your electrochemical profile and evoke ANS reset — designed to promote feelings of ease, focus, and connection.

Breathing & Mindfulness Coaching

Open tab

Bringing mindfulness to how we breathe opens up our capacity to let in what we need and let go of what we don’t, not just metaphorically but in our physiology. Let’s reclaim the breath and everything that comes with it, including vitality and voice.

Chi Nei Tsang (visceral therapy)

Open tab

Chi Nei Tsang is the practice of healing through abdominal touch and guided breathing. It is deeply centering, increases blood flow to your internal organs and is used to address menstrual pain, infertility, digestive problems, headaches, insomnia, mood disorders, respiratory weakness and many other conditions.

Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture

Open tab

Facial acupuncture is a massage and fine-needle treatment designed to vitalize your face and neck — so you can put your best face forward. It’s non-toxic and feels incredibly relaxing, too.

Craniosacral Therapy

Open tab

A method of gentle head and body holds to normalize the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and heal post concussion, scar tissue constriction, chronic pain, Parkinson’s, mood disorders, or infants after a difficult birth. CST helps reduce pain and restore function.

Cupping

Open tab

Cups are applied to the surface of the body with suction, and are used to improve blood flow and treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, or musculoskeletal injury, and certain types of pain and swelling. This therapy is often experienced as an invigorating relief of tension in the body.

Energy Medicine & Shamanic Traditional Healing

Open tab

Shamanism is nearly a lost art and I do not begin to compare myself to the shamans I revere and study. But I do believe deeply in the work and in keeping traditions and practices alive. I see myself as a bridge of reverence and respect for old ways, helping to keep them from being lost. I am of European descent, and as such learned my grandmothers’ traditions. I have been delighted to discover that they bear a striking resemblance to many indigenous traditions of care — that is to say, guided by one’s right place in the natural balance of life found through love and respect for all beings.

Functional Medicine Testing

Open tab

FMT uses blood, urine, and stool analysis to look at the chemistry of your body and catch imbalances before they cause disease or to understand the presence of bothersome symptoms. I can help you determine which tests are most useful for you and how to interpret the results.

Gua Sha

Open tab

Gua Sha involves a gentle scraping of the skin to help improve circulation and treat chronic pain, poor circulation, inflammation, fatigue, and emotional stress.

Holistic Counseling

Open tab

My unique approach to mental health is a form of personal activism and problem solving techniques. I believe we are fundamentally good and fundamentally equal. Developing choices rooted in fairness and empathy heals the individual and the community.

Holistic Nutrition Assessment

Open tab

My holistic nutrition assessment aligns the quality of food choices with how they are prepared, the rituals around each meal, the timing of eating and the company you invite to the table. My recommendations are specific to you, easy to follow, and sumptuous.

Myofascial Release

Open tab

This is a form of medical massage that helps to release painful contracture, increase range of motion, and relieve musculoskeletal pain. I frequently combine this technique with cupping and acupuncture when treating pain and injury.

Reiki

Open tab

Reiki is an ancient technique of channeling energy through the palms of the hands in a gentle, non-invasive manner. This vital spiritual energy activates healing, detoxifying physical and emotional blockages while bringing about deep relaxation and calmness.
