From the first moment I walked into Thrive, I could feel that I was in a different kind of doctor’s office. There is a feeling of peace and calm there that I have never experienced, and that natural healing attitude is consistent throughout all my experiences there. From B12 Fridays to nutritional IV therapy, every treatment I have experienced has left me feeling vibrant and totally supported. The three doctors who own the practice are gracious and knowledgable, and all of the healers with whom I have interacted there are equally skilled. I can’t imagine looking for healing support in any other medical office now, there really is no comparison.”

Dr. Juli Mazi
Dr. Mazi is a great Naturopath. She is very kind. She gives a lot of time to really listen and do all the tests she needs. She recommends what I need to do. She has treated my GERDS, allergies, and inflammation naturally, so I could stop all the drugs I was taking. Thank you Dr. Mazi.”

I avoid doctors like the plague!!! No pun intended. However, since meeting with Dr Juli Mazi I have discovered an alternative to the run-of-the-mill scene of being treated the same as the last 50 people walking in with an ailment. Thrive Natural Medicine treats each person as an individual and Dr Mazi is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I’m so thankful that I have found a better way to treat health issues through Dr Mazi and Thrive.”

I am so grateful to have Dr Juli Mazi as a health care resource. She is extremely approachable and down to earth while at the same time super knowledgeable and gracious with her time and attention. We began care at the weekly B12 happy hour on Friday’s and we have nothing but rave reviews about Thrive and Dr Mazi.”

Dr. Mazi is a confident, thorough, and effective naturopath who has served as my largest artillery in combatting my challenges with chronic bronchitis and adrenal malfunction. She has also counseled me through a 21 day detox which for me as a professional in the music entertainment industry was quite a challenge. Through her guidance and care, I have quit smoking tobacco and have healed my chronic bronchial conditions, which exacerbated my anxiety and adrenal issues. Thanks Dr. Mazi for your constant support, I could not have done it without you!”

I came into the office originally for the B12 happy hour shots on Wednesdays with a friend of mine. I needed more than just B12 shots but found this an easy way to get to know Dr. Mazi before committing to work with her for the long term. I developed a trust in her over a short period of time and asked her if she could help me with my bigger health issue. She was kind, gentle, informative without being pedantic, friendly, smart, funny, easy to talk to and very professional. She was genuinely interested in helping me get well. I have a digestive disorder along with a suppressed immune system, which has improved significantly under Dr. Mazi’s care. This is not something that will heal over night but I feel confident that I am getting progressively better and will soon be back to perfect health. She was also very conscientious of my financial situation and was very careful not to over prescribe too many tests or supplements. I have moved away from the Santa Cruz area but will come back to visit her office when I get back to the area to check in and get her opinion of my progress. She also walks her talk and is a great exponent of eating well and living well. I would recommend anyone to work with Dr. Mazi to get their health back on track in the most natural way.”

I have been a patient of Dr. Juli Mazi for several years. In my sessions with her,
Dr. Mazi devoted ample time to listen to my health concerns and to respond clearly to my health questions. At the end of each session, she specified the tests I needed and she handed me her recommendations in writing. I was impressed by Dr. Juli Mazi’s medical and holistic expertise in addition to her communication skills. She gave me her undivided attention, and I was able to contact her with minor questions and received a call back. It is gratifying to have a doctor who gives me more time, focuses on the treatment of the causes and the prevention of the problems. Dr. Juli Mazi adheres to her naturopathic principles of treating the whole person, prevention, doing no harm, being a doctor who is also a teacher and identifying and treating the underlying causes of disease. She helped me feel better in only a few visits, and I am confident that would do the same for all of her patients.”

Dr. Juli Mazi has been my Naturopathic Doctor for over two years. She has overseen extensive tests and has put me on a detox program to clear my body of toxins. Dr Mazi reviews my lab work comparing my results to the ideal range (not the “normal” range), so I can have optimal health. She also advises me on prevention, healthy diet and necessary vitamins, minerals and supplements that are best for my age and lifestyle. It is very easy to talk with Dr. Juli Mazi. She listens deeply and clearly communicates with me. I would highly recommend Dr. Juli Mazi as an outstanding doctor for anyone who wants a doctor who will treat the whole person, get to the underlying cause of the problem and help people receive the most benefit with an efficient treatment plan I highly recommend Dr. Mazi.”

Dr. Juli Mazi has changed my life. When I first went to see her, I was looking for a general practitioner to give me some insights as I climbed toward 40 years old…what I got was an entirely new outlook on life, my health, my diet, and how much control I have over my own healing! Dr. Mazi manages to distill her vast knowledge of so many subjects and healing modalities into completely-easy-to-understand terms . Her ‘bedside manner’ is impeccable and as the first visit came to an end, I was surprised and sorry that our two hours had flown by so quickly, and eager to come back for more. Over the past 5 months I have returned four times, and I feel like a new human: younger than ever before, more fit, and more ME! Her professional demeanor, personal style, and overall positivity guarantees that I have found my doctor in the Santa Cruz area, and am much better for it!”
