Meet Clara Cohen, registered acupuncturist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Clara grew up in a French ski resort where natural treatments like chiropractic and homeopathy are integrated with Western medicine.
Clara says, ?In Chinese medicine we believe the body heals itself?and there are outside forces that put it out of balance. Chinese medicine helps the body find it?s way back to balance.?
Clara?s fascination with natural medicine started when she was cured of scoliosis in early childhood by a team of practitioners including a chiropractor, a kinesiologist and a massage therapist. For a year and a half she received weekly treatments and slept on a plywood board.
Her endurance paid off. The scoliosis (curvature of the spine) was corrected and she hasn?t dealt with back pain since.
Clara?s Work in Women?s Health
In 2004, after many years in the fitness industry, Clara completed her studies in Chinese medicine and began her practice. Eighty percent of her work is related to women?s health issues including fertility, pregnancy, post-pregnancy and menopause.
She explains, ?This stuff should be easy ? pregnancy, menopause, etc. We?re used to believing it?s normal to have pain, cramps, etc. It?s not normal. Stress, diet, emotions and worry all put you out of balance.?
Why Clara Loves Chinese Medicine
Clara tells the story of a 36 year-old woman with one ovary who was told definitively she?d never carry a child to term. She was advised by doctors to adopt because even egg donation wasn?t a viable option. Desperate, she came to Clara to see what could be done.
For 16 months without fail the woman came for treatments until one day she arrived at Clara?s office to announce her pregnancy.
Clara says, ?We hugged and we cried. It was unbelievable.?
The woman gave birth to a healthy boy and is now expecting her second child.
Another client of Clara?s was told she had ovarian failure. Her period had stopped for five years. Clara treated her twice a week for four and half months and her period began. Now she?s pregnant with her first child.
Clara says helping women overcome significant health problems feels more like play than work. ?I love my job. You have no idea. It?s so much fun.?
How Clara Works
Each client begins with a 90-minute appointment so Clara can get an understanding of their health issues and discuss life balance and diet. The first appointment always includes acupuncture. From there, Clara customizes the treatment to the individual.
She explains, ?With Chinese medicine two people with the same health issue could get totally different treatments because the root cause is different. I look at the root cause, age, life circumstances?I look at the whole person.?
