Testimonials

You treated me during my pregnancy with acupuncture and supplements, specifically focusing on my liver (I had had cholestasis during my first pregnancy and was hoping to avoid it the second time). I also had a really tough time emotionally, and you were so supportive. The fabulous result was that my liver function tests during my pregnancy were very close to normal, I had no edema, no cholestasis, had a fast and easy delivery and quick and happy postpartum period. I so appreciate your excellent, calm and reassuring care. I needed that bit of love and gentle touch, both physically and emotionally.

I came to Claudia with severe lower back pain (probably sacroilliac issues) from yoga. I noticed a significant reduction in the pain starting with the first treatment. After about a month the pain is still occuring, but less frequently and at a much lower level. The unexpected bonus was the change in my sense of well being. I am far less moody and stressed, and feeling very optimistic.

Claudia is kind, responsive, gentle and realistic. I had hoped to find an accupuncurist who had both Eastern and Western training, and Claudia does. She is an RN, as well as an accupuncurist. I look forward to my treatments, and will probably continue on a less frequent basis even after I have conquered this pain issue. The emotional benefits are habit forming.

Claudia has become my ally in dealing with my many health issues, starting with problems to conceive. Her ability to diagnose is amazing. She told me what she thought was wrong and that I could be pregnant after 6 months of treatment – which I was! I saw her during my pregnancy as well and now have a healthy, happy todder. Claudia is a fabulous practitioner, not just for women’s issues, but she is particularly great in this area. She’s compassionate, caring, and just an all-around great person whose wisdom has made a positive impact on my life in many ways.

I started going to acupuncture sessions as a last resort before surgery. One of the doctors that I talked to had said that I had endometriosis and that I might consider surgery in a few years.

My pain occured approximately 1-2 times a month and it was so intense that I would feel like fainting. The only thing that would stop me from fainting would be getting under a cold shower in the first few seconds and eating some honey or anything sweet that I could find. I’d be crawling on the floor, missing work, not being able to talk/move in bed – so very severe pain. Painkillers would be useless, as they wouldn’t kick in for the first 15-20 minutes anyway.

Acupuncture made all of the above just be bad memories. I’m pain free and I feel great. I alternate with Chase Tree supplements and whatever else Claudia thinks it’s appropriate for me.

Plus, acupuncture at Claudia is not just that, it’s much more, it’s a whole experience – you feel more like you’re at a spa: lavender eye pillow, soft relaxation music, amazing aroma therapy and not to mention Claudia’s calming energy, which can be felt once you take the first step inside the facility. It’s more than just a feeling of being “at home”.

My healer! My great comfort! I could go on and on about the unbelievable support Claudia has given me over the last 4 years. But let me share a little bit of my story. I was diagnosed with colitis in 2006. I found remission with medication at 12 pills a day for almost 9 months. Always preferring the holistic route, I decided to find another way. Claudia supported my decision to toss the pills away, and so my journey began. With acupuncture and herbs I remained stable. An important thing to know is that my condition is truly stress induced and sensitive to where I find myself in life. Upon graduating college, and an intense final semester, I returned home 5 months after my first treatment with Claudia and found myself in a full blown attack. I was in the exact state that put me in the emergency room. I called Claudia frantic, and she not only reassured me that everything was going to be okay, but told me to come in for a treatment late that evening! She prepared a tea for me, and within 3 days I was completely healthy! I have always been a believer, but this was such quick relief it made my head spin. Since then, no matter if it was a bad cold, horrible food poisoning, a 24 hour bug, a broken heart, or an issue with colitis she has bent over backwards to work with my schedule and help me to heal.

She is wonderful when it comes to integrating eastern and western medicine. She is understanding and dedicated to the healing process. She has treated and helped my entire family, and countless friends demonstrating her ability to accommodate any spirit or condition.

She has been instrumental in living with colitis.  In a million years, I could not thank her adequately.

I highly recommend Claudia, and wish all of you seeking help deep healing, peace, and balance for your body, mind and spirit.
