For only my second time receiving acupuncture I can gladly say it has been a positive and helpful experience towards better healing. Johanne is thoughtful and clear in describing treatment, in my case helping with an ongoing back injury, and I definitely feel an improvement and plan to continue. Also worth mentioning is that the environment is peaceful and cleanly laid out for a relaxing experience.

Don't have second thoughts about booking an initial appointment with Johanne. She is an empathetic, extremely knowledgeable and grounded practitioner who looks at health holistically and spends an extraordinary amount of time getting to know you and your issues. I went to her to tackle my insomnia, and left with a clear treatment plan and timeframe for improvement. The space itself has great energy -- I like that Johanne has a Reiki background -- and the community aspect feels really good.

HAD BEEN IN GREAT PAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND TAKING HARSH AND ADDICTIVE PAIN MEDICATION FOR MY NECK, SHOULDER AND HAND PAIN DUE TO TRAUMA FROM AN ACCIDENT. I NEEDED TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD HELP ME BESIDE SURGERY. WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE! ONE SESSION WITH JOHANNE AND WENT HOME PAIN FREE AND WAS LIKE THAT FOR 3 DAYS. BEST OF ALL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS I SLEPT 8 HOURS WITHOUT WAKING UP FROM PAIN... I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED MY NEXT APPOINTMENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK TREATMENTS

I have fibromyalgia and was in a huge crisis for more than 3 weeks. I am from Brazil and I am in NYC only for my daughter's graduation. She strongly recommended Johanne because she had a very good experience with her.
And it was amazing! I was in so much pain but I relaxed and even felt asleep during the therapy. If I lived here I would keep going there.

I have chronic neck/spine issues, and also TMJ. I went to Johanne for the first time a couple months ago, after an internet search for an acupuncturist in/near Harlem. I liked what I read about her approach, so was pleased to find a gentle, caring and knowledgable person in her. The communal setting was a first for me, but it's a completely calm and relaxing environment. I feel rejuvenated after a session, and it is definitely helping with my pain. Grateful.

I went to Johanne with debilitating lower back pain and other ailments. Her treatments have been very helpful and have brought significant relief. She approaches the issues and the body in an incisive and insightful manner along with kindness and care. Her community minded practice is truly inspirational: a beautiful collective space where each person is seen timely and treated attentively. Johanne's expertise and commitment to quality delivery and affordability are commendable.

I just moved to Harlem and was dismayed at the prospect of having to go all the way downtown for good acupuncture. Luckily I found Harlem Chi! Johanne was very attentive, patient, and kind. Her calm demeanor helped prepare my body for the care it was about to receive. And, as far as acupuncture treatments go, the price was fair. I would definitely go back.

I am so grateful for Johanne's deeply attentive and insightful care. I have many issues, and she is able to prioritize how to treat them for my maximum healing. Being in her care is incredibly restorative and I feel so much better after a visit. The community acupuncture model is very serene and makes the treatments affordable. What a gift to Harlem!

I had never experienced acupuncture before coming to Joanne. She welcomed me with warmth and made me feel very cared for. I have gone about four times now, and have noticed that I have better control over my body immediately after each session. I just feel so centered. The open-room arrangement works well and affordable prices make Harlem Chi very accessible. I was never distracted by other patients in the room. Everyone is calm and respectful.

I had my first acupuncture session with Johanne yesterday due to an ear ache I was having. I liked the questionnaire as it was detailed and even thought of conditions I didn't think of before. Johanne was wonderful in explaining the process to me and I felt safe, and the needles didn't hurt, and I am afraid of needles! Today the ringing in my ear has calmed down, and I feel more calmer today and not letting situations stress me as before. I'm looking forward to returning. Harlem Chi is the best!

I am a semi retired Lic. Acupuncturist & no longer see private patients. I therefore have referred my patients to Johanne Picard for her knowledge, gentle way as well as her human sensitivity.

I went to Harlem Chi for severe and persistent lower back pain, following a pulled muscle/ muscle spasm. Having had very limited results from ongoing physical therapy I was ready to explore other options. I had significant pain relief after each session and ultimately after 5 months of a minimum of twice week sessions my back is HEALED. I cannot speak highly enough of Johanne. She is a very warm, calm and intuitive practioner.

I went to Harlem Chi for shoulder pain.After just one session I got great relief and after a few more my shoulder was virtually pain free. I love the spacious, serene, and soothing setting with its meditative music, soft natural lighting, and pretty scarves to cover the clients. Johanne herself is a warm and calming presence. My sessions there have been so restorative and the price so reasonable that I'll be including acupuncture at Harlem Chi as a regular part of self care.

It was my first time doing acupuncture and now I'm hooked. Johanne really takes the time to figure out what's going on with you and make a plan to work towards your individual long-term health goals. The community concept is great as it creates affordability and promotes sustainability and sharing.

It was truly a therapeutic experience. You feel calm and rejuvenated almost instantaneously. I went with my girlfriend and it took her no time to fall asleep (not that sleep is the purpose of an acupuncture lol).

Harlem Chi provides individualized acupuncture and herbalist service in a peaceful environment in an affordable price abd flexible schedule.In my experience (I have been receiving acupuncture services in NYC for over 15 years) she is one of the most knowledgeable providers in the City. Knowledge, kindness, compassion and commitment to her practice, makes Joanne more than acupuncturist, makes her a healer.

Was suffering from a severe bout of sciatica, unable to stand erectly or walk at all without help from walking cane. After first two visits walked 9 blocks home. Johanne is gentle, professional and confidence inspiring. Treatments are affordable because they're provided in a relaxed, communal environment.

My first experience was fabulous. Johanne was very through and efficient at taking my information. She is also a very skilled acupuncturist. I left pain free. I cannot recommend her enough. I've recommended her to 4 friends already. I am looking forward to my next visits.
