West Berkeley Wellness

An update regarding a slipped disc/​compressed disc injury as a result of CrossFit: Back in May, I injured my lower back jumping off tires during a bootcamp. After six weeks of very little improvement, while merely picking up a pen, pain suddenly increased to the point where I could barely breathe, I couldn’t walk (I felt an intolerable burning numbness in my knee and foot), and I reached a level 10 in terms of pain. It was a scary experience because it was a new kind of pain and I had no idea when it would cease.
Fortunately, I was already familiar with WBW and decided to reach out for a full session devoted solely to acupuncture and was so happy I did. I received services from Jean-​Louis, Jami, and Sage, and each was amazing in their own way. Within two weeks, the pain reduced tremendously, and I was finally able to engage in the simple acts I had previously taken for granted. Everyone at WBW is a healer and is indeed worthy of recognition. I still encourage individuals to check out the micro current facial (posted previously), but I also wanted to provide an additional testimony regarding their Chinese medicine to specifically targeted treatment plans related to pain and emotional release.
I tend not to write reviews on Unilocal very often unless I stand by my posts 100%. I also take pain reduction/​elimination very seriously, so if anyone has any further questions, please feel free to send me a message and I would be more than pleased to provide further feedback.

I’ve been a patient of Aimee’s for many years. She and all of her practitioners are wonderful and highly skilled. Highly recommend!

I was attracted to the micro current facial and got a series. It’s a unique experience in combination with the acupuncture! After 7 treatments, I can say that my skin felt different: softer, nicer and more translucent. I think I’m hooked! I believe that the acupuncture cured a chronic skin issue I had in another part of my body and that is just magic! Anyhow, I worked at first with Jean Louis, (wonderful, accepting and kind and skilled to boot!) as well as Jami. Jami has a warm presence and I immediately felt safe and comfortable with her. She has a great touch and a solid knowledge. I’m looking forward to going back!

My job required me to travel about 50% of the time, plus working 12 hour days, and a relatively stressful position for 5 years, I started to fall apart. About 10 months ago i decided to do something about it. This is when a work colleague recommended Aimee at West Berkley Wellness. Aimee has helped my through multiple issues, lower back pain, digestion, and sleep to start with. Now i realize that I was also depressed and weighted down. Thanks to Aimee i have a pep in my step and feeling very positive and happy. Aimee is extremely thorough with every treatment and a wealth of knowledge! I am feeling incredibly better, and look forward to every treatment with her!

I’ve had a fantastic experience working with Aimee this last year. She is very conscious about making everything as ideal as possible for her patients and the beauty of the center is an expression of that. I’m sure it’s the most beautiful health and wellness office I’ve been to.
Aimee has tuned me up several times this year – relieving various aches and pains and helping me relax overall. She is through in her questioning and planning of a treatment. She also checks in before, during and after a treatment. She offers heat lamps and keeps one comfortable. Having received quite a few acupuncture treatments, I can say Aimee has exceptional skills.

West Berkeley Wellness is wonderful! Every time I step in the door, I swear my stress levels decrease on contact.
I have been seeing Aimee Wells since early 2012 to treat various symptoms of stress amongst other things. I can honestly say that I am a happier, healthier person since seeing and being treated by her. Aimee has successfully treated my tachycardia (which is huge!), the occasional night sweat, pms symptoms (no more crazy cramps!),. .. and I could go on! She is a miracle worker!!!
I can’t imagine finding another acupuncturist that is more thorough and successful with her treatments. Aimee is fantastic. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
The basics:
Location is easy to find. Street parking within a block has never been an issue. The Berkeley Bowl West is right around the corner, which is a bonus.
The clinic is always super clean.
The energy of the space is very soothing. There are beautiful orchids in every corner! The rooms are always warm and cozy and Aimee has heat lamps in case you tend to run cold.
I always try to get there a couple minutes early so I can make myself a cup of tea, soak in the energy of the space and decompress a bit before my treatment.
You will receive excellent care at West Berkeley Wellness.

I’ve been treated by Aimee Wells many times over these past few years and January was my first visit to her new location at West Berkeley Wellness. The location was very easy to find and the physical space is beautifully calm and clean. I have to hand it to Aimee as she has put together an awesome center to go with her excellent care!
