Dr. Claudia Chica, PT, Dipl. CH, Dipl. Ac, DOM
My passion for healing the body and mind and learning about the pathophysiology (disease and function) of the human body began early in life. My parents always encouraged me to be my best and go further. I had many opportunities to witness and experience the power of natural medicine and healing miracles in our family, friends, and myself.
At the age of 4, I ingested kerosene in a sudden accident. I became seriously ill, developing recurrent Upper Respiratory streptococcus beta-hemolytic A infections and bronco-pneumonia, kidney deficiency, and generalized osteoarthritis.
The effects of the accident lasted many years. I remember feeling myself gasping for air often and having severe respiratory distress, never being able to take full, deep breaths, as well as hair loss, neck tightness, and generalized joint pain and inflammation.
At the age of 19, I received my first Acupuncture treatment and was able to take long and relaxed deep breaths for the first time since my near-fatal childhood accident. After the treatment, I continued to breathe well for several weeks. I immediately knew that I wanted to learn more about the healing art of Oriental Medicine.
In 1983 I graduated from high school as Valedictorian from Nuestra Señora de la Consolacion. In 1989 after five years of studies in biochemistry & Physical Therapy, I graduated from the Physical Therapy program at the internationally accredited University in Cali, Colombia, la Universidad del Valle.
In 1991 I completed studies as an Acupuncture Physician, graduating from the Neijing School of Acupuncture in Cali, Colombia. Later that year my brother & I moved to the United States. While living in Pennsylvania, I completed an additional three and a half years of Oriental Medicine studies (traveling to 1.5 hours to Montclair, New Jersey several times a week after my normal 8 hr workday) specializing in Japanese Meridian Acupuncture with Master Kiiko Matsumoto and Extra Ordinary Meridians with Master Miki Shima, as well as studying Five Element Acupuncture

I attended massage school in Seattle and graduated in 1996. I began working with craniosacral and other light touch therapies in 1997. I took my first Chikly LDT class in 2000 and have completed several advanced courses in that curriculum. In 2020 I moved to Vermont to be closer to family, and opened my practice there in June of 2021. I enjoy problem solving, and love helping clients find and treat the sources of their pain or dysfunction. Listening to clients with hands, head and heart is the most important aspect of my work, followed closely by intuition informed by in depth knowledge of the body.
