Patients are evaluated and treated using an ancient system known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Our clinically researched treatment protocols are safe, relatively pain-free, and benefit the body with little to no side effects.

What our customer say about us
“I’ve been seeing Claudia regularly for more than a year. She’s attentive, listens to my concerns, and is highly skilled. At our Initial session she immediately put me at ease. I always leave her office feeling relaxed, calm, and rejuvenated, even after the most hectic of weeks. Claudia has improved my ability to shift between my fast-paced day job and the calmness and clarity I need as an effective writer. The best part of working with Claudia is her light-hearted and open-hearted attitude. Claudia is the bomb dot com.”
Claudia is an amazing acupuncturist and healer. She never appears rushed, she’s great at listening and has an intuitive sense about what I need as her patient. She’s treated me with acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and prescribed herbs. I call her anytime I feel like I’m coming down with a cold, and I always feel better after my treatment. She’s helped me fend off many colds and illnesses, and with a two-year old, I need all the help I can get. She’s also helped me to understand so much more about Chinese medicine. I can’t recommend her enough!
Claudia is an attuned, empathic and responsive provider, who treats the whole person. She is adept at meeting a person where they are at and gracefully facilitates health and healing. Claudia is a gentle, kind and compassionate person, who is not only skilled at her craft, but innately talented and intuitive. I have seen many acupuncturists over the years, however I find Claudia to be among the best. I would highly recommend Claudia to anyone who wants immediate or long term mindbody support.
