Kevin Holmewood
DO
Dr. Kevin is an osteopathic physician that embraces mind, body, and spirit as an approach to complete health. He finished a Sports Medicine fellowship in 2020 following completion of an Integrated Family/Neuromusculoskeletal Residency through the Institute for Non-Surgical Orthopedics in South Florida and is currently board certified in all three specialties.
Having a strong foundation in manual medicine, he believes the body’s inherent capacity for healing provides the cornerstone to hands on diagnoses and treatment for a variety of common and unique symptoms and conditions. Rather than limit diagnosis to laboratory evaluation and biomechanics of joints, the osteopathic concept expands the view of disease and pain to include impaired or altered function of all related components of the skeletal, visceral, arthrodial, and myofascial structures and their corresponding vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements.
Recognizing there can be multiple layers of pain and symptoms experienced, Dr. Kevin addresses root causes of health issues on an individualized basis. In addition to manual medicine, nutritional counseling, heavy metal examination, and lyme disease/co-infection testing, regenerative medicine involving prolotherapy or platelet rich plasma may be offered to strengthen and stabilize compromised ligaments and/or tendons from previous trauma.
As a new addition to Heart and Soul, Dr. Kevin looks forward to establishing a working relationship with his patients by reinforcing the concept that rational treatment is based upon an understanding of basic principles that the body is a unit capable of self regulation, self healing, health maintenance, and that structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

Julie K. O’Leary
LAc, LMT
Specializing in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, Julie combines acupuncture and bodywork in a unique way to help patients manage a myriad of pain management issues and other health concerns. In treatment, Julie utilizes a variety of needling techniques such as traditional tap and set acupuncture, dry needling and subcutaneous needling as well as cupping, gua sha, bodywork and electroacupuncture.
Julie’s treatment style can range from gentle to more direct, depending on the needs of the individual patient. Julie meets patients where they are and tailors her treatments accordingly. Either way treatments are designed to root out problem areas in as few sessions as possible so patients can get back to feeling their best sooner than later. Other areas of specialty include autoimmunity, emotional wellness, reproductive health, prenatal labor prep and other general health concerns. Patients find they receive multiple benefits from their time in Julie’s care, such as pain relief, reduced anxiety, better sleep, a favorable mood, a balanced appetite, improved energy and many other holistic benefits.
At the root of Julie’s treatment philosophy is somatic mindfulness. Also known as the mind-body connection. As a holistic practitioner, Julie approaches all treatments through intentions of wholeness. The mind and body are not separate. One cannot be treated without the other. In each treatment, Julie aims to provide a space for clients to discover a personal connection between their physical experience and how that experience is both affecting and being affected by their mental and emotional activity. Each session aims to bring new awareness and shift the nervous system out of fight or flight into rest and digest. It is within this space where healing occurs.
