Testimonials
“As a patient of Acupuncture Clinic of Napa, I have had the privilege of enjoying the healing expertise of Irit Weir and her competent and compassionate staff for almost two decades. Four generations, including my mother, in her mid-nineties, as well as my son, husband, my two daughters and, by extension, their own babies, have all benefited from Irit’s good care. The unique approach to health care at the Clinic demonstrates a philosophy that appeals to our entire family, and we all appreciate the benefits Irit and her staff offer, integrating body and spirit in a holistic way.”
“I few years ago, without any obvious cause, I found myself with a sore and swollen knee. I went to my doctor and he felt I had most likely a torn meniscus. This was confirmed by an MRI. I then saw an orthopedist who told me that surgical repair is often not any better than letting it heal by nature and it would be best to wait at as long as you can tolerate the pain till doing anything surgically. At this point I was using a cane, taking daily pain medicine and going to physical therapy all without much noticeable improvement. For this reason I thought I would give acupuncture a try to help me get though the pain.I found Irit and her staff most sympathetic to my condition. The treatment needles were not at all painful and the sessions were actually relaxing. There was soft music and a darkened room and for the better part of an hour once or twice a week I could look forward to a chance to calm myself from my normal hectic pace of seeing patients. Within a few months I found I no longer needed the cane or pain medicine, and the surgical date that I had been assigned I was able to cancel. Now I am back to playing tennis,biking and walking with my wife. I definitely would recommend acupuncture as a beneficial method of pain relief.”
“Irit is an intuitive and gifted healer who has supported many of my mamas and their families on their healing journeys. I feel confident referring my clients to her because I know she will greet them warmly and professionally. She has helped encourage babies to turn, helped labor begin, and provided fertility support among other things.”
“Irit has been a trusted part of my family’s health care for 33 years. She has helped me with diverse concerns such as low energy, allergy, thyroid, and menopause. She has a gentle touch and the treatments have always improved my overall well-being and solved problems that Western medicine would have done with invasive measures. I’m grateful that she offers an alternative way to help the body heal itself. ”
“Dr. Irit Weir is so much more than an acupuncturist, she is a world-class health practitioner that I highly recommend working with. She is kind, patient, intuitive, and incredibly gifted at what she does.I suffered two recurrent miscarriages and began the IVF journey and am beyond grateful she was recommended to me early in my journey to parenthood. Not once did she make me feel like a failure, unlike other acupuncturists who “specialize in fertility”. She always made me feel heard, empowered, safe, and capable of achieving my dream to start a family. Our sessions were more than needling as she took the time to delve into my thoughts, emotions, and fears. She is warm and approachable and I never felt I was being judged. I always looked forward to our weekly conversations. It felt like I was having therapy as well as needlework and it was a chance for me to release everything I was bottling up. I was able to let go of past trauma that I didn’t even know I was holding onto. I left each session calm, relaxed and rejuvenated.
The IVF journey can be long and lonely but she always made me feel supported. Without her help over the last year, I would not be where I am today – with a beautiful, healthy baby boy in my arms who is happy, curious, and content. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Weir for helping me on my journey to parenthood. If you are on the fence about trying acupuncture, please do not hesitate. I can not recommend Dr. Weir highly enough. She is a gift and I’m honored to know and have worked with her.”
“Intelligent, dedicated, curious and compassionate are a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Irit. I have been a client of Irit’s for over a decade. I consider her to be both a healer and a healing ally. She is a healer both by training and intention. She is third acupuncturist with whom I have worked (due to moving) and I have found her to be quite effective at treating a wide variety of symptoms from sports injuries, to stress, to boosting the immune system and general well-being. She is a healing ally because she takes time to answer questions, explain treatments and helps you formulate a plan regarding supplements you can take and / or other things you can do that compliment the treatment.
One story of Irit’s compassion is as follows. A number of years ago my late partner had received the diagnosis that her cancer had returned. She had also spent the prior two years fighting chronic pain which was a side effect of a cancer related surgery. She was interested in trying acupuncture to help with the pain as well as the biological decoding work that we had learned that Irit practiced. I believe I called the office on a Friday and was told that Irit would be heading out of town that Saturday and therefore unavailable until she returned. As a result, it was a surprise when we received a call back later that day saying that Irit would meet us in the office on the next morning before her trip if that would be useful. This was very much appreciated and, I imagine, a stretch to fit in at such short notice.
I have and continue to be grateful to know and work with Irit for all these years.”
