Testimonials

Menopause is like that story about the frog in a pot of hot water. The story goes that if a frog is put in a pot of hot water, it will leap out to save itself, but if a frog is put in a pot of water that is on a low heat getting warmer, it will cook to death. I was cooking to death: I kept attempting to adjust to lack of sleep, hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, weight gain, and basic depletion at all levels. Claudia helped restore my hormonal balance. I no longer have hot flashes or night sweats. I mostly sleep through the night. I found Claudia to be patient and helpful even when I was irritable. I have continued to come for weekly treatments because they are restorative. I highly recommend Claudia. She is caring, deeply committed and knowledgeable.

I started seeing Claudia for acupuncture prior to my second pregnancy. I had been looking for an acupuncturist/naturopath to work with in hopes of preventing obstetric cholestasis, a liver condition I had developed towards the end of my first pregnancy which posed a health risk for my baby. Given some abnormal liver function tests prior to and between pregnancies, I knew I was at increased risk of developing this condition in a second pregnancy as well, but the Western medical doctors I spoke with could provide no information on how I might prevent it. I chose to work with Claudia as she identified liver dysfunction the first time she examined me without me having said a word of my past experience.

I am so happy to have met her! After seeing her a couple of times before getting pregnant, and every 2-3 weeks during my pregnancy, I am now very close to my due date and have normal liver function tests (for the first time in years) and no signs of cholestasis. In addition to acupuncture treatments, Claudia recommended certain whole food liver strengthening supplements (safe for pregnancy) that I continue to take regularly and has consistently provided warm and professional guidance and treatment. Claudia is a conscientious and caring practitioner with extensive experience and a wealth of knowledge about Chinese medicine and other holistic treatment modalities. I highly recommend her as a practitioner – and I feel as though I’ve made a trusted friend as well.

On more than one occasion, Claudia has helped me stave off a cold with herbal supplements and acupuncture treatments. What a relief to feel healthy and strong and get on with my life!

Claudia helped bring my body back into balance after I struggled for
many months with symptoms of IBS. I had already gone the Western
medicine route and was not finding any improvement there. I found
great improvement after only two acupuncture treatments with Claudia,
and after another several treatments, my symptoms were 100% improved,
and now my digestion is stronger and better than it has ever been.
Thank you, Claudia!

I have been seeing Claudia Weitkemper for a few years now and initially saw her for low-back pain and also for trapezius and nerve strain that came from too computer use and work/life stress. Through her acupuncture and herbal prescriptions, my symptoms are gone for the most part. I feel more balanced in my body and am able to recover from heavy workloads on the computer faster and also manage my stress better. Claudia is an excellent practitioner and I highly recommend her.
