Welcome to Courage Mountain Acupuncture
I’m Johanna Alper, Acupunturist based in Boulder
Classical Five-Element Acupuncture (CFEA) supports and enhances your innate ability to heal as nature intended. Each person is viewed as unique. Treatment is individualized and works to restore harmony and vitality on all levels—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Symptoms — such as headaches, chronic fatigue, depression, back pain, menstrual problems—are understood to be signals of deeper, underlying imbalances. CFEA treats the root cause of symptoms, helping to remedy small concerns before they manifest into bigger health problems or disease. It is a powerful resource for people seeking relief from chronic and acute health concerns and a beneficial ally for enhancing well-being and vitality.
Once clients are feeling well, they often choose to receive treatments at one-to-three month intervals in order to increase stamina and maintain a healthy balance with the changing seasons.
I am continually awed by Classical 5 Element Acupuncture's ability to open the body's vital energy so that nature can do the healing.”
Johanna Alper has been practicing acupuncture in Boulder, Colorado since 1981. Throughout her career, she has devoted herself to deepening her learning and fine-tuning her Classical 5 Element Acupuncture skills through ongoing study.
Johanna received a Licentiate in Acupuncture from the College of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in England in 1982. She earned her Bachelor of Acupuncture in 1986.
