I am a longtime runner and have been experiencing neuropathy in the soles of my feet for several months. Two friends mentioned that acupuncture can be effective for that condition. After six treatments, the feeling in my feet has greatly improved. Johanne is highly skilled, attentive, and compassionate. Her treatments are reasonably priced, and her workspace is comfortable and clean with a peaceful and relaxing ambiance. I will be continuing treatments to maintain improvement.

I am so grateful to have found this community oasis in the middle of Harlem. My husband and I went this weekend. He's been suffering with sciatica for the past few months, to the point that he's been depressed and confined to the house. After just one treatment he feels only pressure and no more pain. Johanne is a calming soul and clearly knows what she is doing. Prices are completely affordable and the environment is conducive to healing. We will be back.

Harlem Chi is my one-stop shop for aches, pains and the occasional infection. My weekly visits keep my 71-year-old body in tip-top shape.

I have done accunpunture off and on for many years. I never knew about community accunpunture until a few weeks ago- it’s actually affordable! Joanna did a very thorough intake and did an excellent job. I recently had surgery and felt so much long lasting relief. I’m very grateful to have discovered Harlem Chi Community Accupunture.

I have been coming for acupuncture appts with Johanne for just over 1yr for infertility and overall well being treatment. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, I have learned a lot and have had positive results under her care. If you have never tried acupuncture but are considering it I would definitively recommend Johanne for your first experience.

I used to go way downtown to get acupuncture treatment for my pains. But the hassle made me stop going. I just happened to come to the building where Johanne has her practice and I decided to go in right away to check out the treatment. I was so delighted to by what I saw and experienced. I've lived with pain in my body for many years. No one should be in constant pain 24/7. Thanks to Johanne I have resumed my treatments and will eventually be pain-free without the hassles of traveling downtown.

I've been sick with flue, stomach virus and cold most of December, but so sick I couldn't get out of my apartment to see Johanne. And, when I did finally get to Harlem Chi shortly after the session began the symptoms started to disappear. My breathing was no longer shallow. I was breathing naturally. By the time the session was over the congestion in my head and chest was significantly reduced. Today, the next day, I'm feeling like my natural self again. I'm taking it easy, but I feel Great!!

Harlem Chi was recommended to me by a friend for a holistic option for pain relief and rehabilitation as I am struggling with some severe hip and back issues. It only took one treatment for me to gain hope that a remedy may exist that does not involve surgery or chemical pain relief.
The office is calm, peaceful and professionally run. The intake was reassuring as all the right questions were asked that provided me - a novice to the process- with clarity of what to expect. Great experience.

Omg, I have had acupuncture at a few different places in the past , but I was very impressed with the ambiance at Harlem Chi. Joanne is also fabulous at what she does and very professional! It was a really nice experience, can’t wait to go back there. I highly recommend it

I have had acupuncture regularly for 12 years and moved to NYC in January. I found Johanne and Harlem Chi about three months ago and am so grateful for the care and the good treatment Johanne provides. She's truly a gifted practitioner and I intend to continue to see her regularly.

This was my first time ever doing acupuncture. I was really nervous, but I was put at ease and walked through the process. Not going to lie, it was kind of a weird sensation at first, but I was able to relax. That night my injury felt worse and I was skeptical. But after doing some research I saw that was normal. The next day I felt like 90% better. I’m able to get back to normal life which I wasn’t able to do before. I’m looking forward to coming back to continue the healing process! Thank you!

Johanne & Harlem Chi are a weekly visit for me these days. I live in Harlem and wanted to find a local acupuncturist. I was very happy to find a local place with a fair and affordable price - allowing me to make consistent visits. Highly recommended.

I am not a big fan of needles but, Johanne is great! She listens attentively to your health and wellness concerns and moves forward accordingly. The space is inviting and relaxing. What I love most is that I receive high quality care at a price I can afford.
The online scheduling is easy and it allows me to be consistent and continue the treatments I need for an acute issue.
You are guaranteed to feel better.

Like most New Yorkers, I live with a lot of stress: young children, elderly parents, a busy career, etc. Initially, I went to see Johanne with the hope that she would help relieve some chronic stress-related pain in my arms and shoulders. She's done that and more. I sleep better, have reduced cravings, and generally feel more energetic and centered. I can not recommend her highly enough!

I have been getting treatments from Harlem Chi to regulate my menstrual cycle and to relieve stubborn headaches. Johanne is a skilled practitioner who offers warmth and a supportive touch. I especially appreciate the community acupuncture setting: you arrive, have a private chat with Johanne about what you want to address, then enter the treatment room to benefit from the collective healing vibe. I'm happy to have this wonderful resource in Harlem.

I had my first appt. yesterday and i left this place wanting to go back. She has charisma and dedication, her passion is noticed once you enter the office. Im starting to feel better, she predicted it before-hand, and now i feel the urge to incorporate acupuncture in my routine.., A huge bargain for acupuncture sessions. And in New York?? Insane!!!

This was my first visit. Johanne was very thorough in going over all my health issues, especially the ones dealing with respiratory problems, emphyzema and cancer. I left with some good ideas about what I could do to help myself and felt very energized.

Johanne is a gifted and thoughtful practitioner who has helped me enormously with tendonitis and other health issues. I go every other week and she's fantastic.

I have been going for treatments with Johanne for a long time. This week I had knee and leg pain, along with lingering bronchitis. About halfway through the treatment I felt the pain dissolve and my breathing became easier. I left the office energized and renewed.
