I'm really glad that Johanna was recommend to me highly by my massage therapist. I was having extremely bad perimenopause symptoms (hot flashes, sweating, heart palpitations), and since taking a combination of supplements and working with Johanna those have dramatically reduced. When I'm laying in her office with my needles in, I feel relaxed looking up at the pink ceiling while listening to the bird sounds. Her style of practice is to use a medium amount of needles (about 15-25) a session and she changes the placement of the needles each time. Oh, and I forgot to mention her rates are definitely reasonable and she does accept FSA/HSA cards which is a plus!

I had a great first experience with acupuncture and am so glad that I chose to see Johanna. She immediately made me feel at ease in her quiet, intimate office. She was also able to fit me into her schedule right away after calling to get in to help my breech baby flip. Johanna used moxibustion to help my baby flip naturally and taught me how to use them myself to take home. She even contacted me the day after my appointment to see how I was doing and to follow up. Although my baby did not flip naturally, an external cephalic version (ECV) was successful in flipping my baby and I went on to have a smooth at-home delivery! An ECV is usually only 50% successful and I attribute a lot of the success to the care I received from Johanna. I highly recommend her!

It's acupuncture and more. That's how I would describe my experience with Johanna Utter. She provides one on one treatment, tips on how to make my health problems easier to manage and most of all, Johanna does the best she can to answer questions I might have during my appointment. She seems to have answers to questions I would ask her. Of course when she doesn't have the answer at the moment, she'll remember the question I had the next time I see her. She's amazing.

It was my 7th session that I came in and showed Johanna that one of the point from last session is bruised and I have had headache pain coming from that point. I wanted to take a break that day. Johanna didn’t examine the bruised point or checked on how I was doing. She just said “you are here, why don’t we do the session. I am gonna charge you anyway”.

I paid to skip the session and cancel the rest of my treatment. I dont feel my wellbeing was top of mind so I left.

Johanna has a such a gentle manner about her.
She really took the time to listen - and really hear - everything I had to say, and asked gentle questions to get to know me and my particular situation. Johanna has used several techniques with me (acupuncture, cupping, massage, traditional Chinese medicines), and thoroughly answered my questions.
The office is a quiet and calm place, despite the busy intersection outside.
I would certainly recommend her practice to friends.
