"Since being diagnosed with MS in 2002, I have seen dozens of alternative medicine practitioners.  I have never found one as highly skilled as Dr. Kreft.  I truly believe that she was born to do what she is doing, and she has a healer's intuition that I have never before encountered.  

I have noticed better and more immediate and lasting results from her than from any medical practitioner I have seen - and that list includes some of the leading traditional medical doctors in the world.    

Her suspicions of a circulation problem led me to an ultrasound and blood test that diagnosed a silent and potentially deadly genetic clotting disorder that no traditional medical doctor ever thought to look for.  

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Kreft's talents, her knowledge, and her amazing energy.  She's as wonderful of a person as she is a doctor - and that's saying a lot."  

-- Mariska Breland, Founder, Fuse Pilates 

"I have been a patient of Dr. Kreft's for almost 5 years now, and found her to be invaluable to my health, when I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.  

Having lived in Beijing, I have a lot of experience with Acupuncturists.  Dr. Kreft is the most professional, caring, dedicated and knowledgeable acupuncturist I have ever worked with.  

Lyme Disease left me feeling achy and stressed, with chronic fatigue & low energy, but with Carla's help, I was able to vanish pain, and enjoy life again while pursuing my career.  

Her diet and supplement advice has also given me the knowledge to further advance my own health over the years.  I highly recommend her!'

-- Esther Heideman,  Professional Singer


"I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Carla Kreft.  I began seeing her when I wanted to get pregnant with my first child, hoping that acupuncture could help regulate my cycle, increase the chances of getting pregnant, and also help improve my headaches.  

Although I have been scared of needles since I was a child, I was persuaded to see Dr. Carla by a friend who gave a superlative recommendation.  And I'm so glad that I did!  Dr. Carla is fantastic.  She was sensitive to my initial apprehension, which turned out to be completely unwarranted.  She put me completely at ease, and there was no pain at all.  In fact, I found it as relaxing as getting a massage.  

She is very thorough, and her treatment was thoughtful and effective.  After leaving her appointments, I felt both physically and mentally better.   I believe that her treatment improved my overall wellbeing and contributed to the ease of getting pregnant.  I am very sorry that she is discontinuing her practice in D.C.--I will miss her!"

-- A.Levin, Attorney

"Carla is an incredibly talented diagnostician, which I think is a discipline slightly neglected in Western medicine today. 

She is always right on, and is able to treat the ailment with efficacy. I recommend her strongly."

--Cristiana Valentini Katsu

Dr. Kreft is not only well credentialed, but also is truly gifted at what she does. Her ability to listen, diagnose and treat those with whom she works is unparalleled. 

She customizes treatment to ensure she is creating the best possible holistic healthcare solution for her clients/patients. I am very fortunate to have benefited from Dr. Kreft's skillful care and consider her efforts an integral part of my exceptional health.'

-- Kristan Morrell

'I cannot say enough good things about Carla Kreft!  She provides a multidisciplinary approach to health that is a rare find.  

She is genuinely interested in your health and provides email support between visits.  Besides her professional excellence and compassionate service, she is quite a bit of fun to visit.  I wish she still had a practice in DC!'

-- E. Kaiser Attoe, Associate, MSCI 

"I went to see Dr. Carla when I was having anxiety attacks, digestive problems, and low back pain.  The sessions with her are thorough and detailed.  She really gets to know you, your body, and your spirit.  She treats the whole person!  

She was able to not only help with alleviating all of my uncomfortable symptoms but she was also able to increase my energy levels, enhance my ability to relax, and was able to open me up and encourage me to exploring other things in my life that helped me to shift and transform amazingly!  

She is a healer through and through and is able to help you to empower yourself to make healthy changes and shifts that are life changing."

---Tanya L. Colucci, Holistic Personal Trainer, Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I first met Dr. Kreft approximately one year after my second child was born, and one year after I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The news was devastating especially because to treat RA one must take a long list of medications including Methotraxate, a form of chemotherapy, which works to dumb down the system in order to prevent the body from attacking and destroying the joints - I couldn't wrap my head around the news, and despite doctor's orders, refused to start the recommended regimen. I wanted to continue breast feeding and didn't want to lose my hair, have sores in my mouth and be at risk of rare cancers.  I didn't have time for a cold to become pneumonia -- I wanted to find another way. 

I was introduced to Dr. Kreft through a friend who was diagnosed with RA in his early 20's, but was able to get off his meds with the help of Dr. Kreft by simply changing his diet.  This seemed to good to be true, but I decided to give it a try.  Dr. Kreft spent close to 3 hours with me taking a detail history, giving me a full exam and asking tons of questions.  Once she concluded the exam she created a program just for me, and with her guidance and support I changed my diet, and amazingly started to feel better.  

The joint pain and swelling went away, I lost 15 pounds, and I started to feel better than ever.  Dr. Kreft saved my life.  She is empathetic, knowledgeable, professional, and a well of information. She tailors treatment individually, which is a rarity. However, this journey has been a lot more than changing the way I eat.  It has been about growth, becoming mindful and understanding the correlation between mind, body, spirit and that there are no coincidences.  Dr. Kreft means the world to me -- She gave me the gift of life, and helped me realize that I can do anything I set my mind to.  I will forever be grateful to her.

Before going to Dr. Kreft, I had seen other health practictioners and saw some improvement but not change.  Dr. Carla Kreft has an amazing gift of healing and an attention to more than the physical shell but the entire mind, body, spirit. With patience and dedication, my time with Dr. Kreft changed my health to what seemed like it's original state, before stress, some years of challenging health issues and conditions. 

After about 8 months of time with her, I found out I was pregnant. She stayed with me during my pregnancy by guiding my health with verbal support and naturopathic services, which after 5.5 months I no longer needed. 

Amazing things like shrinking fibroids, which most pregnancies increase, and giving me amazing energy. I advise anyone to use her for health challenges and maintenance but to have patience and dedication, which is what it takes after you have not given your body the attention it needs.
