Our Story
Both of our founders were gaslight, dismissed, and shamed by Western doctors for health issues, and after healing holistically, knew they wanted to help others avoid what they went through.
Julie was a client of Maddy’s acupuncture and functional health clinic in Boston’s Back Bay. After having her labs reviewed by Maddy, she was able to resolve a long-standing health issue, continue to reverse her biological age, and finally feel she could live her life fully.
They realized that with their combined skills they could help thousands of people achieve optimal health.
Our Founders
CEO / Co-Founder
Julie Elaine Brown
Julie is a serial entrepreneur, marketing strategist, and wellness advocate. She holds a master’s degree in Journalism from Northeastern University in Boston and a BA in English Literature (UMass Amherst). Over the past 25 years, she’s built startups, run consultancies, and led wellness initiatives.
Her health journey includes life-threatening fibroids (one had detached itself causing her to hemorrhage). She underwent two myomectomies to avoid a hysterectomy. Had Rêve Health existed, she could have avoided nearly 7 years of suffering and both surgeries.
Julie’s mission is to help people live their best lives with a combination of evidenced-based science and lifestyle-based guidance.
COO/Co-Founder
Madeline Cunningham, LAc, IHP, AFMCP
Maddy is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, functional medicine provider, and certified hypnotist. Her path took her from finance to integrative healing, driven by curiosity about the mind–body connection.
Her own journey included chronic illness, misdiagnoses, and eventually, diagnosis with Lyme disease and environmental sickness. She used her own holistic protocols to reclaim her health — and now guides others to do the same.
