Venn Acupuncture

Claudia is such a gifted practitioner and her gentle and warm presence adds so much to the healing. When I realized I was getting monthly headaches tied to my menstrual cycle, I went to Claudia to support my body to heal from this pattern. After 6 months, the headaches are gone and I also understand so much more about my cycle and hormones. Claudia is so precise and gentle with the needles and thorough in her examination, inquiry, and education. Her treatments are so relaxing and replenishing too. I also benefitted from her herbal prescription and cupping (for the upper body tension that also contributed to the headaches). I can’t recommend Venn Acupuncture and Claudia enough to help heal a condition or to keep your body, mind, and spirit in optimal condition.

Claudia is an expert in the field of acupuncture in addition to being a really warm and wonderful person. She has helped me with fatigue, emotional times, adrenal and hormonal issues. Not only have I begun to feel better and my symptoms have lessened, I now know more about how to take better care of myself. I have learned what my body and spirit need and Claudia has truly been a resource for me in this journey. When I needed other support (naturopath and therapist) she knew just who to refer me to. Claudia is my go-​to for all things health and wellness. She is the best… you won’t be disappointed.

Claudia does a great job of working with me as an active participant in my own treatment, listening closely to what I have to say about the needs of both my mind and my body, and then offering her own thoughts for discussion.
I suffer from severe anxiety and intermittent debilitating headaches, and Claudia has been able to help me with both. In fact, in my most recent appointment with her, I entered the treatment room in a state of near panicked anxiety, but within 10 minutes of her beginning to place needles, I felt calm and peaceful! Who would have guessed that getting my ears stuck full of needles would be so relaxing! She then placed a «semi-​permanent» needle in a spot in my ear which I could manipulate on my own between treatments when I needed a boost of calming energy.
I also like that she frequently reminds me to breathe into my belly, showing her awareness of not only my acupuncture points but also the other habits of my body that contribute to my well-​being or lack thereof.
She also does a great job of … well … trying to put herself out of a job, if you know what I mean. She always tries to help me become independent of her treatment, instructing me in ways that I can help myself either between her treatments or instead of them (such as the semi-​permanent needles), showing that her priority is always my wellness, above and beyond her own business concerns.
Lastly, the entire environment is professional and calming. The office staff are friendly without being invasively chatty, and there are always beverages readily available in the clean, bright waiting room.
I really can’t recommend Claudia highly enough!

I’ve been seeing Claudia on and off for years. Last fall I started seeing her weekly for several months while trying to get pregnant. I was pregnant in 6 months! I’m now 5 months pregnant, and recently had a very bad cold. I tried taking Tylenol and treating the cold myself for about 1 week because I was out of town. I was not making much progress, and my chest and head still felt full of congestion. the day after I got home, I went to see Claudia. her treatment was miraculous! She used acupuncture needles and cupping to open my lungs. I felt 100 times better that very night! I could sleep and breathe normally again. I can’t believe how fast it worked. She also gave me some herbs which I took for several more days. Within a few days, I was completely healed and back to normal. Even though I’ve experienced her healing powers before, I was amazed. I plan to continue seeing Claudia throughout my pregnancy and after.

I took Claudia’s Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine class and truly enjoyed her spirit and the way she explained complex topics in an easy to understand way. While I have not been treated by Claudia, I am confident that she is thoughtful, patient and highly intuitive with her clients.

I took a class taught by Claudia at ACTCM about «balancing women’s health» and I had fun! Claudia is a great teacher, she is joyful and explains well her subject. You can really feel that she is so into Chinese medicine ! Great books references given by her too! I wish I could come to her practice to get treated because I believe she must be very good! I really hope to follow other classes with her in the future.

Claudia is great. She is always attentive and I feel great going to her for acupuncture. She is also certified in Chi Gung so she was the only acupuncturist that has told me to breathe (even though I mostly don’t even feel her needles, she is so good). The location is great, right on Telegraph along the 1R. 5 Stars for Claudia!

This was has been my best acupuncture experience so far. Gentle needling, calming environment and top notch service. In the past I haven’t experienced acupuncture appointments that have made me want to come back to continue a treatment course. With Venn acupuncture I have stuck to a weekly routine and it is showing to be very beneficial to my health. She is also in network with my insurance company which has made visits affordable! I highly recommend Claudia for anyone wanting to try acupuncture!

One of the best experiences I had with any health professionals!
I had a lot of stress related symptoms like TMJ, stiff neck and back, and muscle spasm. The issue is that TMJ falls through the cracks in traditional system, as the dental system says it is not related to teeth and the physician refer you to dentists. Claudia was fantastic in taking her time and gathering all the facts and my daily routines and tailored the treatment to my specific situation. Her holistic approach to the symptoms and the interrelation of the issues made a real difference. In addition, her great attitude toward your health issues makes you optimistic and as you continue treatment with her, you realize that healing is on its way.

I echo the sentiments of the other reviews — Claudia’s work is magic. I contacted her after having a major panic attack and she was so helpful in getting me in ASAP. I was able to come in the very next day for a treatment. We talked at length about my health history, lady time of the month, current symptoms, sleep/​eat patterns, etc. When I first came in I wasn’t eating and I was barely sleeping. My anxiety had pushed me so far off my center that I felt nuts.
I’d never been to acupuncture before and I’m so glad I found Claudia. She’s very gentle and very intuitive. She’s got me on an herb supplement to help with the anxiety and it’s working wonders. Over the course of 3 days she brought back my appetite, ability to sleep and my sanity. I highly recommend this wonderful lady for any treatment you decide to pursue. She’s worth every penny!

I started receiving treatment from Claudia shortly after having surgery on my broken ankle. She has been gentle, caring, and informative. I love my sessions with her and feel fully taken care of. I had tried acupuncture before through a community acupuncture clinic and didn’t enjoy the experience. My time with Claudia is totally different. I get her full attention. I feel comfortable talking to her and sharing what is going on with me at each session. I highly recommend her.

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 a wonderful healer. I am trying to learn more about alternative medicines through her. I started to see her when she was a student. She is consistently but increasingly intuitive in her practice. I think that is because she is a natural listener. I never feel rushed with her, and I really appreciate the herbs that she prescribes me. They help me manifest something of my previous session with her when I take them as she suggests. I recommend her highly. Thank you for everything, Claudia!

Claudia is wonderful! I have seen dozens of acupuncturists over the years which seems weird but there are so many and I just never found anyone I trusted but Claudia is amazing. She is intuitive, gentle and very skilled. It seems lots of folks can train to be be acupuncturists but not many can be your alternative general practitioners. Whether you have been to tons of acupuncturists or never before, Claudia is the one and only.

Claudia is absolutely marvelous! My doctor has long recommended acupuncture for long term pain and insomnia, but being terrified of needles, I’ve never made my way to the clinic. But claudia listened to all my fears, analyzed my situation accurately, and we began treatment. I have to say — it really did not hurt! And this from a girl who takes 2 advil before an eyebrow wax! She was very gentle, told me exactly what she was doing, and I felt at ease and comfortable. I’d warmly recommend her!

Claudia’s quick and easy ear acupuncture treatments always help me with my menstrual cramps! Not only do I feel immediate relief — the effects stay with me through the next few days. Highly recommend!

I am one of Claudia’s first long time patients, if not her very first. I started with Claudia when she was still in school at the student clinic. I not only had the pleasure of watching her learn and grow, but also become a very important vessel in my own healing path.
Firstly, some acupuncture points on me are very sensitive to needling. You can almost say I am close to being a wimp. I felt Claudia’s needling technique improve week after week to what became close to perfection. She is so gentle, and sometimes I do not even feel the needles go in anymore.
Second point, she is attentive, caring, and an active listener. Acupuncture is such a wonderful path of care, but if the practitioner is not aware of your current state nor cares to pay attention to detail, it is not as effective. Claudia really took the time to listen to what was going on physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and treated me accordingly.
Lastly, at the end of the day my purpose in seeing her week after week was to heal. And I did. I saw amazing results in my health and over all well being. Having said that, you can not expect to go to Claudia and have your ailments disappear magically. You have to put in the work. But if you follow her advice and care plan, you will heal.
Claudia is an amazing individual, and I am so grateful that our paths crossed. I would refer any of my close family or friends to her, knowing they would be in excellent healing hands.
