  • Josh Herr does a wonderful job! If you’ve thought about acupuncture but haven’t tried it, he is excellent at listening to your whole health picture and putting together your acupuncture treatment to support the medications, exercises, nutrition, etc. that you’re already doing.

  • I had developed pretty significant psoriasis, including large patches of skin that were angry, swollen, red, and peeling. I had tried everything I knew, including care and attention to potential leaky gut issues, as well as supposedly helpful creams, which did nothing to resolve the problem. I finally turned to Josh for help. It took a few weeks, but the areas progressed steadily to a complete healing. I have been almost completely free of this problem since, with only a tiny area breaking out now and then, which respond readily to the creams.

  • I had an ongoing pain in my hand that my primary doctor wasn't sure how to treat. Josh used distal acupuncture and it helped immediately. Who knew a needle in my right toe would fix a pain in my left finger?

  • I saw Josh for acupuncture and herbs treatment for almost two years while I was struggling through issues with recurrent miscarriage and infertility. It was the most difficult chapter of my life and I can honestly say that Josh was one of the strongest positive forces in my life that carried me through. Not only did he help me physically with thoughtful treatments that kept my body grounded amidst difficult and painful events (miscarriages, D&C surgery, a host of procedures and ultimately IVF), but he also shored me up spiritually and emotionally with his incredibly gentle bedside manner and relational skills.

  • He felt like a true friend, and it was a time when I felt alienated from most men because they couldn’t relate to what I was going through and often said insensitive things. Josh was different— he got it, he held space for all of my emotions, and he provided a medical intervention that felt positive and healing which was a critical antidote to all of the western interventions I was enduring. On the day of my embryo transfer during my first round of IVF I received acupuncture treatments both before and after from Josh, and against many odds the embryo successfully implanted and I now have a healthy one year old boy. I’ll never know if it was definitely the acupuncture that made the difference, but I know for sure that it helped. I feel hugely grateful to Josh for the care he gave me and I don’t think I’ve encountered a medical practitioner in my lifetime who I can recommend more full heartedly.

  • Thank you thank you thank you for all the treatments that helped me nourish my body in preparing for pregnancy, supported me in achieving pregnancy, and assisted in the onset of the birthing of our baby! I know that she certainly would not be here if it weren't for the regular acupuncture treatments that I received during this phase of my life. You gave me space and treatment to help create an optimal environment for creating life, and we are forever grateful for your expertise and care.
