Kind Words

  • Pain & Tension Relief

    “It feels like Shannon lifted 1,000lbs off my neck and shoulders. If you have back spasms, neck pain, tension headaches etc. go see her, I am shocked and so excited how much better I feel after just two treatments of acupuncture/cupping and guasha.”

  • Woman with curly hair wearing a white shirt and earrings, standing outdoors with eyes closed and arms raised.

    Fertility Relaxation

    “Seth is amazing and knowledgeable and was a great addition to treatments for infertility. I have tried a few different acupuncture clinics in the area and this has been my favorite experience and helped me relax. They are open to helping improve natural fertility as well as complement IVF treatments.”

    Pregnancy Support

    “It's been such a blessing to have Shahida do acupuncture on me in my third trimester of pregnancy. I came to her starting in my 32nd week of gestation with some consistent and intense migraines, and lower back pain. Within a session or two, my migraines had largely cleared up and I could tell that the acupuncture was helping with my lower left hip pain. Shahida is very knowledgeable about fertility and pregnancy support.”

  • Man with curly hair in a white shirt standing by a window, surrounded by green plants and cacti; inside a bright room.

    Migraine Relief

    “I originally went in for my vestibular migraines, and Shahida has helped with hormones, digestion, migraines and a lot more that was going on inside my body!I couldn't recommend her highly enough!!”

  • Person looking up with thoughtful expression, wearing a leopard print headband and gray shirt.

    Chonic Illness Support

    “I could not ask for a better teammate on my journey to live a full life with complex chronic illnesses. Since beginning treatment, my pain levels are consistently lowered, my digestive and immune function is improving, and I experience significantly fewer muscle spasms. Shannon’s (Shahida’s) support has improved my quality of life in ways I never thought possible after over a decade of western medical intervention.”
