How We Help You Get Well

Acupuncture

Experience 3,000 years of ancient Chinese healing wisdom with Acupuncture. Tiny needles release the flow of life force, relieving pain, removing stagnation and alleviating anxiety.

Customized Nutrition Programs

There is no “one size fits all” diet. We work with you to develop a healthy eating plan that works for your body type and lifestyle.

Meridian Testing

Meridians are the body’s energetic pathways. With computerized tools we measure their performance for full systemic diagnosis.

Functional Lab Testing

We combine 21st century lab tests with traditional Chinese diagnostics to accurately pinpoint the cause of your health issue. We go further than just alleviating your symptoms.

Herbal & Functional Medicine

We combine powerful herbal formulas with wholefood nutraceuticals to effectively treat hormone, thyroid and autoimmune conditions.

Detox

Our bodies accumulate physical & environmental toxins that lead to stress and illness, particularly autoimmune.  Gently detoxify to reclaim your health.

Our Happy Patients

She truly dedicates herself to help you heal. I came to see Dr. Josse after I lost a job I was extremely dedicated to. I was heart-broken, to say the least and had also lost my will to live. She kept encouraging me to take care of myself and gave me suggestions. She never used force or told me that I had to follow a specific regimet. She kept stressing that what would be in my highest interest. Soon I opened up with questions about nutrition because I saw a tremendous change in myself and I want... Read More

I am a happier person.  I have no pain! I came to Josse during a time when I was having great emotional instability. My stress and discomfort had begun to cause terrible pain in my shoulders and neck to the point where I was unable to sleep. Josse was able to patiently explain to me how the stresses in our life can manifest as bodily pain. Her acupuncture treatments helped me to connect with who I was so that I could begin making changes in my life that would lead to becoming pain free and heal... Read More

I have almost the perfect body I wanted to have! My life has been changed dramatically last half year since I started having Josse's consultation. When I met Josse for the first time, I was in a miserable situation. I was just getting out from my terrible stomachache and weight-loss from the stress, and I was overeating and gaining weight as rebound. Thanks to Josse's encouragement and guidance, I started cooking healthy food at home, exercising regularly and doing more things I want... Read More

I have experienced remarkable results and more energy. I went to see Josse seeking alternative methods to treat pain, neuropathy, arthritis and mood issues.  Several specialists, that I had consulted with, recommended that I start taking Humira and several other medications (with many side effects) to address my issues. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about Josse being able to fully address all of my issues, without the use of high dose pharmaceutical drugs, especially since I ha... Read More

A very caring and knowledgable practitioner. Working with Josse has been a wonderfully supportive and insightful experience. It has expanded upon the previous year of acupuncture I had back in New York for a health problem, and progressed into much deeper positive role. From the beginning she took into account my health and diet history, and future goals related to those areas and bigger goals in my life to create my treatments each week. Each session we coach and talk about how the week went fo... Read More
