I had a nasty case of bronchitis that required antibiotics. Yet the cough persisted, even thought the infection was gone. I finally was able to get to Harlem Chi for a treatment. It is miraculous. It just feels like Johanne rebalanced the energy so the excess coughing just did not need to happen. I mean, after nearly two weeks, finally, acupuncture just turned it around. Now, I will continue with treatments to make sure this re-balance stays. Truly remarkable and very grateful.

Living and working in NYC can be very stressful,and I was looking for some natural solutions.
I'm in Harlem and stumbled onto Harlem Chi, and made a appointment.
With no idea as what to expect, I was consulted with, and through a series of visits, my stress level is lower, my sleep is much better, and little aches and pains are hardly noticeable.
I'm such a fan, I've purchased packages for my staff, and we all just LOVE it.

It seems like no matter what ache or pain or soreness or odd symptom I have, Johanne is able to make it better! After the treatment, I feel so balanced and restored and harmonized, it really feels miraculous. Very grateful for her deep listening and artful care. As a Harlem resident, I also appreciate the convenience and yes, affordability. Grateful for this.

I was new to acupuncture and sceptical when I first went to Harlem Chi with the aches and pains of a grey-haired man. I felt better after the first session and I go back regularly because Johanne keeps me limber and free of pain

I found Harlem Chi on Google, and never looked back. Now on my 4th visit, I manage chronic nerve inflammation. Joanne is an expert at locating where it hurts. The environment is relaxing and truly feels like a place of healing. Incredible place and service.

As always, regardless of the imbalance that I may be experiencing that has me seeking relief, when I go to Harlem Chi for a session with Johanne I'm confident that when I leave I will feel 100% better than when I arrived. There is no other healing modality, nor is there any other practitioner that assists me returning to balance as effectively as Johanne Picard-Scott. She is a true Healer!!!!

Due to some family emergencies and the flu, not to mention the polar vortex, I was not able to see Johanne. Finally was able to get to her lovely and spacious treatment room, with a bunch of odd complaints that had me feeling not so well. After her treatment, I felt absolutely reborn!
Like I was the best version of myself. It is the miracle of Johanne’s blend of acupuncture knowledge and the art of healing.Very grateful she provides such a glorious service to our Harlem community.

I just had my third visit with Johanne after not making an appointment for awhile. I always intended to get back to Harlem Chi and I'm so glad that I did. I was just diagnosed with a slipped disc and although my back wasn't feeling as bad...when my appointment was over I didn't feel any discomfort at all. I felt relaxed and at peace...Amazing! I also slept like a baby that night. The atmosphere is also very tranquil. I will make sure to continue my sessions with her!

Was suffering with back and knee pain. Also had difficulty sleeping and lack of energy. After the first treatment, I got the best sleep in my life and felt less pain immediately. Therefore, I got a package deal and will continue to heal myself naturally.

So happy with my treatment experience today! Since missing a few months, I am grateful to be back. It's been quite awhile since I felt sooooo relaxed!

After throwing my back out and barely being able to walk for 24 hours I did a google search to see if there was a community acupuncture clinic nearby. I was so thrilled to find Harlem Chi. I've had great success with acupuncture in the past, but it can be pricey and I'm currently on a limited income. Not only is the pricing incredible here, everything else is, too. It's a warm and welcoming environment, and the treatment was superb with a marked relief in pain after the first treatment. A

I have been coming to Johanne for about 2.5 years and it has been a blessing to have found her practice. I have been working with her for infertility, stress, various aches and pains and she just works her magic and it has been a relief! The community environment is peaceful and respectful. I have been to other acupuncturists before - but with her it's significantly different and I highly recommend if you are considering a visit.

I simply cannot sing Johanne’s praises and thank-yous highly enough. She has taken care of me through very frustrating, challenging, multifaceted, chronic illness...through the worst of it...even when my moods aren’t good... she has even helped me avoid coming down with this or that bout of things. She has helped so many of us afford consistent care. She has refused to charge me for large chunks of her precious time. The herbs she gives have been obviously helpful at least 80/90% of the time (despite the difficult to treat highly variable patterns inherent to Lyme/chronic fatigue...). She correctly guessed the Epstein-Barr viral component—then also helped encourage me to get reevaluated medically—after many years of discouraging medical experiences (both at walk-ins and by my former doctor who I later found out was writing me off as “anxious”??!) Johannes is virtually the only place I can walk in and be ~certain that when I walk out—the aching-all-over or fatigue or feverishness or cramping and pulling or all of the above will calm down. Her needling is so “on point” I can often instantly feel it in distal but referred/related parts of my body (eg, foot points in the head or torso, or arm/wrist points thru my back/leg...). She has spent cumulatively HOuRS calmly explaining and elucidating TCM for me (yes, after all these years I’m a student too...). She’s often been the ONE person that in my most run-down, estranged from myself moments—the ones ~no one even best intentioned friends understand?—who I can depend on to see (better than me!) where I’m at; for me to not feel alone at my literally weakest moments. She’s helped to ground me—both w the needling and sometimes just w her very presence (esp since I come so late so often...). But above all? She has given me hope—and a raw, un-sugar coated kick in the butt of reality that has already helped immensely to guide my healing/life. I may be a science geek, but ultimately the life we live is our medicine, and all medicine is soul medicine. Johanne lives this—patiently, devotedly—every day. She is nothing less than a community treasure.

I'm generally healthy, but I'm over 70 and I must deal with the aches and pains that come with age, plus the occasional cold. I've been a regular at Harlem Chi for years and Johanne has cured or at least alleviated almost every woe I have had, including muscle and skeletal aches, heartburn, anxiety and the symptoms of a bad cold. Not to mention that she is the warmest and most understanding healthcare provider I have ever had. I would give her more than five stars if I could.

I have been seeing Johanne for about two months now for chronic pain management and support with my emotional wellbeing and am feeling much better than before my initial consult. I notice a palpable difference in my body, mind, and spirit when I prioritize my healing through modalities like acupuncture. The space itself is conveniently located and offers a peaceful, airy,plant-filled escape from the hectic city right outside. I highly recommend seeing Johanne and giving community healing a try!
