TELEMEDICINE
In response to Covid 19, I have transitioned my in-person practice to telemedicine. During these times it’s so important to stay connected and keep wellness goals front and center and keep continuity of care.
While I love in person visits, there are things I am loving about telemedicine too.
Nobody needs to drive anywhere; we can meet wherever you have a phone or computer and you are in a space where you are comfortable. We are helping the environment and improving air quality by staying home.
Clients are learning new skills in taking care of and treating themselves. They are all learning point locations and some are even learning pulse diagnosis.
I am using a HIPPA compliant Telemedicine video platform, so we can feel secure about sharing sensitive information.
During Telemedicine appointments we review current health concerns. We discuss life style changes that can help (nutrition, exercise, sleep habits etc.), make a plan for use of herbs and supplements, acupressure points, and guidance in applying extremely easy to use press needles. The personalized points can be shown via video, or I can send a document with images of point locations.
Chinese medicine offers a great deal of resources for the current Covid-19 pandemic. It can help with staying healthy and balancing the immune system. It can help with symptoms especially before they become severe/life threatening. Chinese medicine can also help in the recovery, post infection phase of healing the lungs.
Rates: $25 for each ½ hour.

Johanna is an excellent Chinese medicine and acupuncture practitioner and I am deeply grateful for all the ways she has helped me over the years. I have relied on her treatments and herb/supplement recommendations to address a wide variety of issues. Recently, due to COVID-19 social distancing, we had our first video session. The treatment was very comprehensive and effective and I am delighted to be able to work with Johanna remotely.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I knew first that I wanted to help people heal. Then I heard about Chinese medicine and that with Chinese medicine you take in the whole of someone and their life and approach healing from a truly systemic perspective. This appealed to me deeply. I wanted to connect with people, to have time to listen, and to generate creative solutions. I LOVE what I do!
I have a general practice so I enjoy helping people of all ages and stages of life. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, the elderly, bodies of different sizes and shapes, different sexual orientations, different cultures, races, different personality types – all are welcome. If I am not very familiar with a particular health condition, I will put in the time to research it very thoroughly. My passion is working with people who are open, interested in holistic wellness and engaged in their own healing.
Most patients new to acupuncture are apprehensive! This is very common. Everyone is greatly relieved and becomes much more relaxed about the process once they have tried it, in other words it doesn’t live up to the worry. When inserting needles there is a bit of a pinching or prick sensation. Rarely is it intense. Once the needles are placed, there is no longer pain. If the pain doesn’t subside rapidly, I remove the needle. Most of my clients rest deeply, or sleep when the needles are in place. It can be surprising how relaxing acupuncture is! For people who are especially sensitive, I use a different type of needle called an acupuncture tack. This is a tiny needle embedded in tape which is ‘taped’ on to acupuncture points. I also use acupuncture tacks for children, because unlike adults they generally don’t want to sit or lie down for very long. Most people assume children will not like acupuncture. In my experience children actually often really enjoy their treatments!
The initial consultation is $160 and is about 2 hours long.
Follow up treatments are $100 and are about 1 ½ – 2 hours long.
I offer a sliding scale where that is a financial hardship.
Yes. I really enjoy making house calls, and can come see patients in Boulder, Lyons, Niwot, Longmont Lafayette, Louisville, Broomfield, Westminster, Erie, Estes Park, and more. This works especially well for people who are homebound (elderly, postpartum care, seriously ill, time challenged etc) I charge an additional $25-75 for house calls.
I am happy to provide documentation for submitting to your insurance company. This includes diagnosis codes, procedure codes, the total amount for treatment, and all the identification information and numbers that insurance needs about me and about you. Payment for the treatment is made up front to me and then reimbursement is made directly to you by the insurance company, depending on your coverage. Generally, insurance companies reimburse for treatment that is related to pain when they cover acupuncture care. Insurance often does not cover the many other conditions that acupuncture is helpful for.
