Calandra Acupuncture

I started seeing Teri 2 years ago for knee pain. At that point it would hurt to walk even a mile, even though I had completed physical therapy three times. Within months of regular treatments from Teri, I was walking with much less pain, and today, I feel barely a twinge, if even t hat. She’s also been able to help me with other issues, such as stress and sleeplessness. Teri is a wonderful acupuncturist — listens compassionately, her treatments are extremely effective and I can’t recommend her more highly.

Teri is the best practitioner I’ve had yet. I first heard of NAET through family friends and was rather skeptical about the practice, but I have not felt this physically and emotionally healthy since I can remember. The first NAET/​acupuncture treatment I had with Teri was completely painless and stress-​free, and I walked away feeling surprisingly energized, rested and centered.
Teri is down-​to-​earth, transparent and welcomes all questions, challenges and concerns. She’s constantly adjusting her schedule meet with all patients, and is an honest and trustworthy practitioner. She is comfortable staggering or suspending treatments if they truly aren’t needed and doesn’t try to push things solely for business profit.
I also value that she makes time in her full schedule to educate herself on the latest medicinal breakthroughs through conferences, re-​certification, new certifications, etc. She takes the time to educate patients on her treatment processes and the intricacies of their health conditions. She equips patients to knowledgeably advocate for their own bodies, health and well being.

Teri is wonderful and I would *highly* recommend her to anyone looking for an acupuncturist and/​or NAET practitioner! I have seen several acupuncturists and can say without a doubt that Teri is the best! When I moved to Chicago six months ago with some acute and chronic health issues I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone who was capable of handling multiple medical issues. I have seen my fair share of alternative health providers: naturopaths, acupuncturists, holistic DOs and MDs, but she is the first person who has actually been able to help me. Since I’ve started seeing Teri my chronic skin problems, UTIs, headaches, and asthma (using a nebulizer multiple times a week) have improved drastically, if not disappeared. I could not be more grateful that I found Teri!
It is important to note that Teri’s extensive NAET training sets her apart from other acupuncturists. As someone with sensitivities and food allergies, it is very difficult to see an acupuncturist that doesn’t do NAET because I usually end up being allergic to the herbs they prescribe or they don’t understand how to dose the herbs (or rotate them) for allergy-​prone individuals. Even for patients without a ton of allergies, Teri’s NAET treatments work to both prevent problems by «reprogramming your immune response» so to speak, and also treat the root cause of what’s going on. In my case the NAET/​acupuncture combo has resolved many issues much faster than just acupuncture alone. She is also extremely bright and able to come up with creative treatment plans and think on her feet (which is not the case with all practitioners!)
Most importantly, Teri is very professional, kind, and thoughtful and always goes the extra mile to make sure patients fully understand the treatment approach and are okay with it. She really cares about her patients’ well-​being with the goal being for patients to not have to see her! Last but not least, her prices are extremely reasonable compared to other practitioners, especially for the multiple modes of treatment she’s providing.
Thank you, Teri for being the wonderful practitioner that you are! To anyone reading this review, you would be crazy not to choose her as your acupuncturist.

I was looking for a NAET practitioner & acupuncturist close to where I live in Chicago and found Dr. Calandra thru her website. I have many allergies and sensitivities to lots of physical things and Teri has done a great job in treating me for them. She works well to identify the specific item (s) that were giving me problems and then she does a skillful job of treating the issue whether it is physical or emotional. She answers all my questions about the treatments plus she is very professional with a warm and friendly manner and high levels of care and concern. She has made a difference in my life and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for acupuncture and NAET.
