Natural Healing Ways

I really like coming to see Claudia, she’s very personable and has an excellent healing touch. The office is warm and inviting. I’ve been doing very well under her care of adjusting my hormonal imbalances and adrenal health. She uses guided imagery and a BEMER mat which amplifies the healing effects. I’ve only had three visits but I’m already doing so much better.

I see Claudia on a weekly basis for Acupuncture. I feel better aligned, balanced, calm, centered, and relaxed after seeing her. I feel working with her as significantly improved my overall health. I look forward to continuing to see her as long as possible.

Claudia is a kind, wonderful person! I have been seeing her for most of the past year, and leave every appointment feeling fantastic. She has a gentle touch, and a very caring, nurturing presence. She is so genuine, and often goes above and beyond in supporting my healing journey.
The office is conveniently located (with dedicated parking!), and each of the rooms have their own appeal. She plays nice music and keeps you very comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to boost or maintain their mind, body, and soul health!

Claudia was so incredibly helpful to me in my time of need. When I was 25, I got an amazing case of acne and hives all over my face right after I stopped 6 years of using Benzaclin topical gel. It was very, very bad. I was scared to see anyone and was trying to fix it on my own by doing research on the Internet and trying «cleanses», which wasn’t working and was making it worse. My older sister recommended Claudia who is her acupuncture person, so I told Claudia on the phone to please not comment on my skin when she met me, I was just so sensitive and self-​conscious about it. She said sure, don’t worry, she will just look at who I am underneath. True to her word, she didn’t make any comments about my skin when she met me. She was the first person who told me, essentially «This can be permanently fixed» and that sense of hope and being in good hands meant everything to me. She also recommended a good makeup that didn’t make my skin any worse. I had some really good acupuncture sessions with her, and my skin started to improve between that and changing my diet to a better-​informed one. I went back recently on a visit home to thank her and show her that my skin had gotten completely clear. The first step in that was definitely Claudia.

I have come to see Claudia many times and every time I feel so incredibly nourished and pampered. Everything feels better after a visit.
I used to have big issues with acupuncture and felt funky after treatments, but her presence persuaded me to give it another shot and it totally changed my feelings about acupuncture. She’s amazing.
She is gifted and will leave you feeling on top of the world.

Claudia has been a ray of positive energy from my first phone call, to consult and treatment. So far, so good. I came in for stress, depression, anxiety. Right after my treatment, my sore neck and achy shoulder pain was gone. She mentioned that a big reason I was feeling that was all the burdens and negative energy from my stress. The next morning, even before the herbal treatments, I’m already feeling more energized and positive. Will be happy to report progress with future treatments.
I’ve seen a few acupuncturists in the past. Didn’t vibe well nor did I really see progress, except the benefits from a good nap.

Claudia has treated a number of my patients over the years, and I must say that the patients truly adore her. The patients are depressed and in pain, but she has always been uplifting with her personality, and therapeutic with her treatment. While I have never met her in person, I have also had nothing but positive dealings with her and her office. She also goes the extra mile for her patients, and really champions their cause. And with her background in Eastern medicine, but with training in a Western country, she definitely brings the best of both worlds to the table. My patients and I look forward to many more years of wonderful experiences with Claudia.

It is bitter sweet that I’m writing this review. I recently moved out of the East Bay and am already missing Claudia and her treatments. I started seeing her April 2013 when I had to get my gallbladder removed. I came in a wreck after my surgery and after a few treatments and some supplements, I was feeling better than I’ve felt in years. After I recovered from surgery, we worked on my other conditions. I have low thyroid and PCOS. My hormones soon felt a lot more balanced and I was able to manage my weight a lot easier as well. If you have PCOS or a low thyroid, you know how frustrating managing your weight can be. With Claudia’s treatments, I felt much more in control. I also started to sleep a lot better and was feeling like a new woman! I highly recommend going to see Claudia. She definitely is a master healer. I wish there was somebody just like her in the Peninsula!

I wish Unilocal had 10 stars for exceptional service because Natural Healing Ways would be one of them. I started seeing Claudia about a year ago for hormone issues. Wow have I seen the results. Not only do I feel better, I feel like I have gained a new friend and a true advocate for my health.

Competition is fierce for acupuncture in his part of town and I keep coming back to Claudia because leaves me feeling great after every session.
She is very calm and confident which outs me at ease instantly. The treatments do what they are supposed
to and I feel like I can take my time while there.
She is able to squeeze me into her schedule when needed too. Like today when I took a digger on the stairs and was all out of whack, I called and she got me in in the afternoon! Or when I had a chronic cold and finally thought to try acupuncture to get my immune system going again.
The space is kind of low key — it’s a house after all.
Def worth a try or at least a consult! It’s working great for me.

I developed a rare rash on my belly known as PUPPPS during the 36^th week of my pregnancy. I did several treatments with Claudia to get me through those last few weeks. She made some very helpful recommendations for me to try in addition to my acupuncture treatments. It was very comforting to be in her experienced and knowledgeable hands during a particularly difficult and frustrating part of the pregnancy.

She seemed like a good acupuncturist, but in the three months that I went to her weekly, (and paid an exorbitant amount) I didn’t really improve. I also paid a lot of money for supplements from her, but I didn’t see much improvement. She also gave me handouts about food that were contradictory and confusing.

Claudia has helped me through a variety of pain and illness woes. She is a great practitioner and a lovely person as well. She was one of my go-​to health practitioners through a very bad case of pneumonia and her treatments were enormously helpful and comforting.

I love going to see Claudia! She’s such a joy and so healing to be
around– warm, radiant, and wise. I always know that I will feel
better during and after our sessions. I have consulted with her for
years now, whenever I have had a cold/​flu, stomach ache, or trouble
sleeping, to name a few things. I appreciate the well-​roundedness of
her approach. She uses Traditional Chinese Medicine, her
knowledge-​base as a nurse and naturopath, and muscle testing to tailor make
the optimal treatment plan. The plan may include daily schedule
suggestions (sleep, diet, exercise), Chinese and western supplements
and flower essences, and positive thinking. I am often amazed at how
much better I feel and at how quickly and gently the change happens. I
would recommend that everyone check her out!

Claudia is AWESOME! I had sciatica for three months with no apparent onset cause and went to a chiropractor who only antagonized the situation. Claudia immediately picked up on the fact that my adrenals were running on empty and tuned me up. Within 1hr of lying on her table, I jumped up and was 98% better! That has stuck and now I am pain free for almost a year. Claudia sie sind erstaunlich!

Claudia is an amazing acupuncturist and naturopath. I really appreciate how she tells me what she notices when she takes my pulses and explains what is going on with me. She is very generous with her time for acupuncture. She has been so effective with her recommendations for supplements, that if something is going on with me, I go see her.

Claudia Weitkemper at Natural Healing Ways in Albany CA. Will make you feel very cared for when you come in for a treatment, she makes her office a very warm and welcoming place. Claudia makes sure that everyone that comes into her office is very well taken care of. She cares about all of her patients very much and will do her very best to help you with what is bugging you. I love getting treatments from Claudia since she has a very soft hand with needles, she is always extremely careful. Another great thing about Claudia is she will explain what every needle will help you with, she makes sure your treatments help exactly what they were meant for. She has lots of experience in Holistic medicine and really knows what she is doing.

I visited Claudia for low energy and lower back pain and her intuitive approach gave me good results. Sprompt on appointments with excellent bed side manners and a good pricing structure. Thx Claudia for your gifts and your interest in my health.

Claudia is the warmest person I’ve ever met. Her office was peaceful and serene. After the initial consultation, I realized how her skills and intuition were spot on. After the first treatment I feel on the right road to health improvement.

I began seeing Claudia for treatment in April after becoming concerned about being (so far) unable to conceive. I had heard about positive results from acupuncture for fertility and decided to give it a try.
From the beginning, Claudia was attentive, interested, and honest. She told me that it was likely to take 3 – 6 months for the treatments to work and that she would help to build up my systems to have a healthy pregnancy.
I went to Claudia for treatments weekly and took the herbal supplements that she recommended. By the end of June I was pregnant! I continued to see Claudia weekly through my first trimester to ensure stability of the pregnancy and will continue biweekly until I deliver.
Claudia’s offices are clean, comfortable, and have a peaceful energy to them. Claudia has always been compassionate and skilled in the work she has done with me (even when I don’t completely understand some of the terminology she uses, she always explains when I ask).
I would highly recommend Claudia and her practice.
