The Glenview Healing Arts Center is an oasis of serenity located in the Patio Shops complex in downtown Glenview. The clinic is a welcoming environment where healing can take root and blossom into balanced health and vibrant energy. It is a place where you can discover how your body best functions and through the modalities of Oriental Medicine develop a greater sense of wellbeing.

Claudette Baker, L. Ac., the clinic's founder and director, believes in providing health care with compassion and honors each individual's unique expression. She believes it is important to help each person understand their true state of health and wellbeing, and provides guidance for making changes in diet and lifestyle to attain optimal, vibrant health. She does this through acupuncture, Chinese herbs and supplements that support the healing process.

Oriental Medicine is a complete system of healing that has been developed and perfected over thousands of years. It has been around for longer than most civilizations and is used by more people worldwide than any other type of medicine. Although sometimes referred to as 'alternative' or 'complimentary,' Oriental Medicine is not considered 'experimental.' While each individual has unique health issues and concerns, we at the Glenview Healing Arts Center are focused on providing unique treatment strategies that are based on vast bodies of knowledge, expertise, awareness, compassion and support.

Most patients who have come to the Glenview Healing Arts Center have been to numerous medical specialists and alternative practitioners but still have unresolved or worsened health issues. We take great pride in offering healthcare that is based upon extensive education and post-graduate training in Oriental Medicine. Claudette Baker has trained with some of the leading doctors from China, Europe and the US and obtains excellent results in her practice as witnessed by the thousands of patients she has treated over the past 23 years. She is passionate about learning, teaching and practicing Oriental Medicine.
