Long overdue review, but I am now the mom of a healthy toddler thanks to Dr Shasta’s help. I believe the acupuncture had a positive effect. After years of struggling with infertility I was at a low point and had pretty much given up. After just ten sessions with Dr Shasta I was able to conceive successfully. I was honestly in shock when I saw the positive pregnancy test! I highly recommend Dr Shasta for anyone seeking help with infertility.

Healed!!!!I had a pretty bad injury; I tried PT and ended up getting worse injuring the other side. So I gave Dr. Shasta Ericson a try; within a few sessions, she did a psoas release and the next day I was back in the gym. Dr. Ericson is a miracle worker.I highly recommend her services!!!!

There are not enough wonderful words I could say about Dr. Shasta. I have been seeing her for over 2 years and she truly is a provider that cares about you and the personalized care you deserve. I saw her to help with my endometriosis and fertility treatments. I believe her treatments and constant support contributed to a successful transfer. We are forever grateful!

Her office is welcoming and serene, providing a relaxing environment to receive treatment.I cannot recommend Shasta enough to anyone seeking relief from pain or discomfort. She is a true professional who is passionate about her work and genuinely cares about her patients well-being.If youre looking for a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist, look no further than Shasta.

Doctor Shasta is a miracle doctor because thanks to her I lost a lot of weight and help my hormones go higher. I love her office because its so calming, I love the classical music, and she helps me to relax during my visit with her. Thanks to her help I got pregnant with her and now my baby girl is born, and she is very healthy. She never gave up on me and she always gave me hope to keep the faith that one day I will be a mother and look at me know I am a proud mother of a month-old Daughter. She is an angel to me that was send from heaven and thank you so much doctor Shasta for everything you did for me. I recommend her if you believe in miracles and you want to become pregnant.

Dr Shasta Ericson has a heart of gold. Her office provides a relaxing place to be intentional about your desire to have the baby that you know your meant to have. After four years we are excited to announce that we are expecting our 4th baby! We have reached 13 1/2 weeks and babys heartbeat is strong!THANK YOU Shasta for your health protocols, your emphasis on good nutrition and being someone that understood my heartbreaks from losing two babies 4 and 3 years ago. I felt safe and understood and I had hope restored to try again. My mindset shifted and as I learned the importance of shifting my lifestyle to create a healthy egg and to make room in my life while balancing my business to welcome baby in. Thank you for encouraging me to also follow protocols with my OB to stimulate my ovulation. All of it helped and at age 43 my miracle is here! God is true to his promises!Proverbs 3:5-9 MSGTrust GOD from the bottom of your heart; dont try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; hes the one who will keep you on track. Dont assume that you know it all. Run to GOD! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor GOD with everything you own; give him the first and the best.

Dr. Shasta is a miracle worker. I came to her about a year ago as my husband and I were trying to conceive. She guided me on better nutrition, which also helped me lose weight. We had a few failed iui, Dr. Shasta continued to support as we prepared for IVF and we were able to harvest healthy embryos and conceived on our first try.I am very grateful to have met her. I manifested on Dr. Shastas constant mantra fertility is natural. Each journey is unique, have patience and dont lose hope.

If you are having challenges conceiving, I would see Dr Shasta at your earliest convenience and definitely before trying other assisted reproductive technology (ART) methods such as IUI and IVF. I previously tried 4 cycles of IUI, all of which have yielded no results in terms of a positive sign of pregnancy. I gave up ART in frustration and this time I decided to try Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and found Dr Shasta online. I met her and signed up for her 3-month fertility program and throughout it, she has been very patient, kind, and understanding. Dr Shasta assessed my health, ordered lab tests, reviewed by hormone levels, created a personalized treatment consisting of a diet (food list, specific recipes, beverages to consume), a detoxification plan since were constantly exposed to chemicals and toxins, Chinese health aids to target pressure points, and acupuncture at least twice a week. It was a commitment where I had to adjust my lifestyle, schedule for appointments, and consumption habits but I was ready to adhere to it because I really didnt want to go through the IVF route and I hated IUI hormone injections. I thought her Yelp and Google reviews were too good to be true and told her I was skeptical but wanted to give TCM and her program a chance. Before the fertility program was over, I was ecstatic and grateful to learn that I was pregnant but was also anxious that the pregnancy would end up in a miscarriage since Ive had a previous miscarriage. I continued to see Dr Shasta to help the body sustain the pregnancy and to treat nausea and successfully carried my baby to full term. My baby was born summer of 2023 and I thank God that Dr Shasta has helped me become pregnant, my baby is a healthy and beautiful boy. I wish I skipped IUI along with all its injections, appointments and procedures and instead went straight to Dr Shasta and the TCM route. If youre trying to conceive (TTC) and are on the fence, I think she offers a complimentary call/consultation. Im grateful for Dr Shasta and her 30 years of experience, her treatment plan rates are FAR MORE than fair and affordable compared to ART. I have no regrets in seeing her and trying TCM. Im so glad to have had the pleasure of meeting her and so happy to have been under her treatment. Im privileged to have her as my doctor.

I’ve been going to Shasta for 8 years on and off for acupuncture for fertility. She is great to talk to because she is helpful, understanding and always positive. I did acupuncture twice a week for about 3 months and I became pregnant at 34 and again and 42 with 2 healthy babies! She is a miracle worker and a blessing. I highly recommend Way of Wellness to anyone who is looking to get pregnant.

Shasta has been a true lifesaver for me! I have several auto immune diseases and after being hospitalized in January 2017 and being diagnosed with a serious liver disease I decided to try acupuncture. The first time I met Shasta she was so easy-going, very through, and friendly. She made me feel very comfortable. Not only did the acupuncture help, but she also provided so many nutrition tips that have helped me tremendously. After seeing Shasta a few times my liver functions went from being severely elevated to within normal range. It really works! She has treated my nausea as well as anxiety and every time I leave a visit I feel so much better. What I love best is how patient and flexible she is with having to reschedule and cancel last minute. I would highly recommend Shasta to anybody!

Dr Shasta’s acupuncture treatment has really been helping me a lot with IBS symptoms, as well as with headaches/migraines and fatigue. She carefully listens to what you have to say and about how you feel, then she proposes a very efficient and appropriate treatment for each session.I also really appreciate that she explains things and gives a lot of advice, about diet for instance. You feel better as well as empowered regarding your health, and it is quite rare to find a professional offering you both!I would definitely recommend Dr Shasta, as I have started to do among friends and family.

Dr Shasta is an amazing healer! She is very caring and takes time to know her patients and their concerns. I’ve been going to her for a few weeks now and have experienced firsthand the benefits of Acupuncture. I have more energy and fatigue was one of my concerns; my BP is also stabilizing and every visit to Dr Shasta is an eye opener because she shares a wealth of info about diet and wellness. Highly recommend. And I’m so glad we found her!

OCTOBER 20th, 2022: Dr Shastas work is magic! Ive been dealing with infertility for over 2 years and before coming to her I was getting weekly acupuncture and had already been through 3 IVF retrievals and two failed transfers (one was a miscarriage at 9 weeks and the other was a chemical pregnancy). This road has been rough for my husband and I and I knew I needed to change something up and had a gut feeling a new acupuncturist was the key. I did research and picked Dr Shasta based on her yelp reviews. I have been going to her for about 6-7 weeks thus far and she has been helping me detox my body before my fourth IVF retrieval (I have been under anesthesia about 6 times in a year). I have learned so much from her and my body has never felt more amazing! I just got the results from my IVF retrieval and we have 5 embryos that are being sent for PGT testing!!! My husband and I are over the moon, this is our best round so far and I owe it all to Dr Shasta! :)She is so kind, shows empathy for your situation and tailors her resources for each person. She is a miracle worker and I cant thank her enough for everything she has done for me. Going to her was the best decision I have ever done and wish I found her sooner!UPDATE APRIL 3rd 2023:After 2+ years, 4 IVF egg retrievals, 2 rounds of IUI, a miscarriage, a chemical pregnancy, hysteroscopy, HSG procedure, saline sonogram, an MRI, hundreds of shots and the amazing help of Dr Shasta... our miracle baby is finally on the way! I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with our healthy baby girl and I know its all because of Dr Shasta!! We are over the moon!I came to see her before my fourth IVF retrieval and third transfer and I became pregnant within 3 months of seeing her! We cant thank her enough, I wish I found her sooner into our infertility journey!

Review №17

Highly recommend! Dr. Shasta is an amazing miracle maker!When I decided to visit Dr.Shastas acupuncture, I knew almost nothing about acupuncture. All I wanted was to have a baby and my doctor (OBGYN) told me I should consider IVF due to my PCOS. My cycle is usually every 3 months and I knew it was so unhealthy but I didnt know what to do.Before I move on to IVF, I wanted to try it as naturally as possible because I was really afraid of using chemicals. To be honest, Dr. Shastas reviews look too good to be true but I decided to take a chance.Shes passionate about fertility and I feel great after each session. She always encourages me and shares her knowledge every time when Im there. After our first consultation, I changed my diet and started to cook her recipe at home regularly. Right before my fourth session, I found out that Im pregnant! Couldnt believe it at first because I didnt expect it to happen so quickly but now Im at 26 weeks of pregnancy!!!I dont usually write reviews, but I just wanted to share my experience. Thank you for helping us to make our family, Dr. Shasta! Looking forward to seeing you in my next session soon.

Shasta is the best acupuncturists in the Bay Area. She has natural healing hands; a touch that I was looking for, gentle but effective in getting the job done with positive results. Her office and rooms are clean and has a positive atmosphere. I feel heard, comforted and cared for as her patient. Thank You Shasta for making my body feel fantastic and rested at the same time.

Im so happy and satisfied that I went to Dr. Shasta for her 10 anti aging micro needling and acupuncture treatments. I wish I had done this along time ago. My face has never felt so plump and soft. Well, maybe when was in my 20s. I recommend Dr. Shasta because of her knowledge and the personal care I received.

Dr. Shasta is super nice and sweet , she know about my symptom and did the acupuncture to the right spots on my legs, hands and even face! I feel comfortable and relax without feeling pain but only little toothpick poke only ! I really glad I found this place , friendly people in front too. The inside each room so clean and the relax environment so helpful too while doing acupuncture there. I am on my way recovering my symptom which about 80% and hope soon will get 100%! Definitely come back here again in the future !

A friend of mine referred us to Dr. Shasta. Before seeing her, we worked with infertility specialist for over a year and they were unable to find the problem. Infertility treatments imbalanced my hormones and worsen my health. Dr. Shasta worked with me using acupuncture to cleanse my body to balance my hormones. I followed her dietary plan and supplements to nourish my body. After receiving her acupuncture services for four months, we are expecting our first baby. Dr. Shasta is very knowledgeable, cordial, compassionate and always willing to go the extra mile to provide excellent care to her patients. We cannot thank enough Dr. Shasta for her professional services.

I have known and been treated by Shasta for over 10 years. She is extremely skilled, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Using a combination of acupuncture and herbal medication friends and family have seen favorable results for multiple problems including thyroid and chronic cough problems. I have referred multiple of my family and friends to Shasta and every single one of them have been impressed. I would highly recommend Shasta, not only for her expertise but also if you want someone who will listen, empathize and consistently be an amazing caregiver.

Dr Shasta is fantastic! My wife and I consulted with Dr Shasta after we struggled to conceive for a little over a year. We already ate very healthy diets and supplemented appropriately with vitamins/minerals. We felt puzzled and extremely disappointed since having children was so important to both of us. Finally, we did some research and heard good things about acupuncture and fertility.The treatment was for my wife, but I was part of the overall process, and had to write this review!When we first visited Dr Shasta, we werent sure what to expect. She was so kind and seemed confident that she could help us. We appreciated her thorough intake and assessment of our individual situation. Flash forward just one month, six acupuncture sessions, and two weeks of Chinese herbs later and my wife and I conceived our first child!!! Today, our baby is 32 weeks along and my wifes pregnancy is going great. We are so incredibly grateful to Dr Shasta for her life-changing work!Like I mentioned, the treatment was for my wife, but I was part of the overall process, and had to write this review!I highly recommend anyone who has been struggling with getting pregnant to try Dr Shastas acupuncture and herbal protocol.

Shasta at Way of Wellness is amazing. I have been seeing her about 6 months, I have had full spine and neck issues. Pinched nerves and I am also a runner and I work out. Without her I would not be able to continue these things. She makes you very comfortable with what she is doing she will stay by your side if she needs to and she will make sure to work with your schedule also and get you in. Between the acupuncture and cupping I am able to continue running and working out with less pain.I highly recommend Shasta, you wont regret it.

Shasta Tierra is an amazing acupuncturist and healer! On my first visit she identified a medical issue my physicians had missed and I am now receiving treatment for it. She is both incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. I have only been seeing her for two weeks, but the combination of herbs and treatments have me feeling really great. The other day I just started running because I had so much energy. I highly recommend her. If you want to feel good, I suggest you make an appointment ASAP!Cindie Ambar, Aptos, CA

Prior to having my daughter, I worked with Shasta for almost one year. She was and is an extremely dedicated professional, kind, courteous, and an expert in her field. At the time, I had no idea whether my efforts would be successful or lead anywhere, but today I believe those sessions helped complete my family. Way of Wellness is the go to place in the Bay Area for health and wellness. I also bought Shastas tincture, videos, and supplements. I was hopeful, but also made sincere efforts and went almost every week. The affordable packages are budget friendly and well worth the dollar.For couples who are trying, I would offer my thorough recommendation. With the right people to support you and the correct healthcare, I truly believe it can happen. One additional caveat: you can trust Shastas services to be of the highest caliber. She works hard - there were several occasions where I wanted to schedule an appointment but changed to another day because she was engaged with a professional development seminar or some type of educational workshop. I also spoke to two other clinics before deciding to work with Way of Wellness. Anyone who comes here wont leave disappointed.

Had a great experience At Way of Wellness Natural Health Care! I had some congestion in my lungs and sought out & acupuncturist for some relief.The congestion had been in my chest for over a month at this point. Shasta was so amazingly kind and loving in her care for myself and my health care problem. She set me up in my own little room. She used heat lamps at a very reasonable setting, assuring that I was comfortable through out the entire process.She left the room, following putting the tiny pins in my back, allowing me a much needed slumber for 20-30 minuets. After 20 minutes she checked back with me to ask if I wanted another 10 minutes. I had to get on my way at that point however.In the following days my lungs were less congested & my cough subsided.I was very pleased with my visit & results at “Way of Wellness Healthcare” & would recommend it to anyone. Thank you Shasta!

I started going to Shasta after I had several unsuccessful IVFs, painful cramps. Before Shasta, I was seeing another Chinese doc and I did not enjoy the lectures and the un-relaxing environment. Shasta is a dedicated professional, kind, compassionate and courteous. I followed her nutritional instructions and went for my appointments regularly. The sessions are relaxing and soothing, even though I dont like needles. Through the combination of her nutritional advice and acupuncture sessions, I feel much better now. Thanks, Shasta!

Dr.Shasta is AMAZING!The initial consult with her was so thorough and she brought up a few things I wanted to discuss, herself! I felt so confident after the first consult to be in her care. I then did acupuncture treatments 3x a week and started feeling so much more better- energetic, calmer and positive in general. She not only comes up with a treatment plan but also with a diet for your needs, so it’s very holistic.She is super flexible with times and appointments and readily available on text message. She also remembers you and your history so easily and you literally pick up where you left off at the previous appointment.I also love the treatment rooms- they are quiet with calming music playing. I like to fix my appts during the middle of the day and it refreshes me so much for the rest of my work day.5 stars for Dr.Shasta and her practice!!

I have been seeing Dr. Shasta for a variety of my health issues for the last few years. I have truly started believing that acupuncture is an alternative therapy for management and treatment of conditions. With her treatment, I have noticed significant relief with my painful cycles, migraines and most recently for lower back pain due to a disc bulge in L5-S1.I was also able to convince my husband to seek her treatment for his back pain issues and we both are extremely happy with the results.I highly recommend Dr. Shasta.

Dr. Shasta Tierra was recommended to me by a friend, and I am super thankful that I came and was seen by her last August. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly understands the health issues I am dealing with. Whenever I come in for a visit, I always end up feeling relaxed and refreshed. My monthly cycles has become shorter, i am slowly losing weight, and feeling better overall. I truly recommend for everyone else to come and be seen by her; I may have long ways to go but the positive results keeps me motivated.

Review №33

Before I started working with Dr.Shasta, my partner and I had been trying to conceive for nearly a year. I had also tried other acupuncture treatments and Chinese herb medicine but didnt find a critical improvement.The western fertility doctor suggested me go straight to IVF considering my age and AMH level, I found Dr. Shasta like the last straw before starting my IVF treatments. During the initial consultation appointment, I was given more than enough of information to support my health condition, not only from the fertility perspective but the consultation covers mental and overall physical conditions as well. She taught me how should I eat clean, non-toxic food and the how should I change my life style to reduce stress which helps to balance my hormone.After following the tips that Dr. Shasta gave me, I saw improvement after just a week or 2 then I found out that I was pregnant after 6 acupuncture treatments. Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage around 11 week due to chromosome issue but I believe my pregnancy proves Dr. Shastas treatments are effective.My partner and I made our decision to start our IVF treatments due to the concern of my age but I really wish I couldve found Dr. Shasta 6 months earlier. I am still eating the food and taking nutrient supplements that Dr. Shasta recommends. Also, trying my best to maintain healthy life style that she suggests.

Dr. Shasta offers an effective and quality-oriented healing center. Her knowledge and experience in the arts of Chinese Medicine have helped me bounce back from injuries and perform optimally again. Her expertise in acupuncture has served very well in my healing, both mentally and physically. Acute injuries which were lingering, such as my shoulders and quads, have returned to full range of motion and strength. I also enjoy the wonderful response of calm and serenity under her guidance with the acupuncture needle. She also performs other therapies such as cupping which I find highly effective. She has also offered dietary advice which I have followed; in particular the addition of Bone Broth into my diet. Simply put Dr. Shasta does a phenomenal job providing expertise in healing from the inside out which deep knowledge in Chinese Medicine.

I started going for my migraines and tension in my shoulders. I can say after only a few month I have no migraines and mine were chronic where I would throw up from the pressure. Shasta worked on my tight hips which have really loosened up since her working on them. She does cupping on my shoulders as well and it helps alot since I have scarred tissue from yoga and being an athlete growing up. She saved my body and helped me calm my mind too. I go at least 2x a month and it made a huge difference.

Review №41

Dr. Shasta has changed my life forever. That seems like a dramatic statement but its true. I had gone to the doctors twice over the last few years asking for tests to be done because of my low energy level. I also found it was really hard to concentrate, like my mind was fuzzy and hazy, making it difficult to stay concentrated on a task or retain new information. Also, the prior winter I had gotten sick 4 or 5 times. I couldnt believe how low my immune system was. After an extensive intake she was certain I had adrenal fatigue and high amounts of cortisol in my system due to extensive stress and grief I endured in the past few years. I began seeing her twice a week and after 1 month of treatment, I no longer felt like I needed a coffee to keep me going in the afternoons. My husband was amazed at my energy level and the fog in my brain felt like it cleared. In addition, I only got sick twice this year and when I did, my body fought it within a few days and it never turned into a full blown cold. I am forever grateful for the gift of Dr. Shasta in my life. I feel like I am living again...

I just started seeing Dr. Shasta Ericson for back pain. I as very impressed with her from the start of our first appointment. She asked a lot of questions and clarified my answers with great follow up questions.Once I was on her table, I appreciated her light touch while applying the acupuncture needles. I also love that she gave me a little remote bell, so that I could alert her if I needed anything during the treatment.I was pleased to get a whole take home packet that gave information regarding ways to detox my life, foods that will improve my health, and information specific to my condition.I highly recommend Dr. Shasta Ericson.Robert J.

She is very encouraging and brings lots of positivity to the healing, which works wonders!My health issue started 5 years back and she has improved my health to a level that no other specialist has even come close to (and Ive seen several across different states and countries).

Review №44

Acupuncture with Shasta is such a positive experience. She is kind, caring, and gentle. I have seen her for a variety of reasons over the years, but I would say the most unexpected result was when she treated me for anemia. Prior to the acupuncture treatments I was taking 6 times the rda of iron supplement with no increase in my iron levels as measured by blood tests. After acupuncture treatment, my iron was within the normal range, and I was not taking any iron supplement. I started feeling so much better and had much better energy. With none of the unpleasant side effects that iron supplements have. The other drastic change in my health was when I had h-pylori, and the MD wanted to wait until after the holidays to treat me because of concern that the antibiotics would make me sick. After 2 weeks being completely unable to keep any food down, I went to Shasta. That night I was able to eat. After the holidays, when the MD agreed to treat me with the antibiotic I continued sessions with Shasta and had no ill effects from the high dose of antibiotics I had to take. My son used to get a cough every year from November to February. Nothing helped it go away until I started taking him to acupuncture. At the first sign of cough I take him in and in clears up in a couple of days. He used to miss so much school from these severe coughs. Acupuncture with Shasta makes our lives better!

Shasta is amazing. I see her for my migraines and also morning sickness through my first trimester. I couldnt ask for a better experience.

Such a great experience! I went in yesterday for my first acupuncture session ever not knowing what to expect. Shasta is super friendly, very knowledgeable and an expert in her field. Just in our short evaluation she was able to determine the root cause of my symptoms and recommended exactly what I needed to improve and reach my maximum performance as a golf professional.We focused on my tight hips. I also told her I had cramps in my feet, weak joints, cold feet/hands, weight loss, etc. She applied the needles in the correct position with no pain at all. After 25 minutes or so relaxing and listening to meditative music I felt calm and refreshed. I noticed less tension in my lower body and hips right away. I really did not expect noticeable results right away!It didnt even really kick in until night when I was laying down in my bed and I notice that this was probably the most relaxed my hips and legs have been in years... I also noticed my hands and feet seem to have more blood flow and best of all this was one of the first times in a long time my feet and hands were not cold. I did some more deep breathing and felt the benefits even more! Even better, when I woke up in the morning I was still warm and comfortable. This might sound like a minor issue for some but for me this is a life changer! My hips and legs feel like they have more circulation and less tension. Its amazing.Shasta is the best!! Cant wait for my next appointment!! A++++

I started seeing Shasta Tierra about 25 yrs. ago. Dr. Tierra is amazing. She helped me deal with severe low back pain from lumbar fractures and a rare type of blood cancer.

I love being one of her long term patients and will see her whenever possible. Thanks Shasta.

The Way of Wellness is a very appropriately-named business--because it is a portal for being healed from pain and suffering. Case in point, my experience yesterday. Dr. Shasta Tierra--who is masterful in both Chinese medicine as well as nutrition-- worked on my shoulder and arm which had been in constant pain from a fall I had last week. In less than a half-hour, I was well on way to wellness. The pain was greatly reduced and she gave me tips on continuing on my path back from pain. This is a great place to go if you are looking for safe, smart, affordable alternates to opiates and other western ways of dealing with pain. Highly recommended!

I go to see Shasta for lower back pain which was shooting into butt and legs. With the first treatment I felt very little of that annoying pain. The next morning I woke up and felt so much better. No pain when walking for the first time in 6 months. I have been going for a few more treatments and the feeling I have of more energy deeper sleep and no more lower back, butt and leg pain.Go see her if you have this type of pain.Becky

Tl;dr? Just set up an appt. Read on for the more detailed story if you like. Dr. Shasta is a skilled and caring wellness professional. I had always been a skeptic regarding natural and alternative medicine, so I only tried acupuncture and herbal medicine after doing the full course of standard medical treatment for chronic pain from spinal problems.Long story short? I got more relief in two sessions of acupuncture than I had from months of physical therapy, exercise, painkillers, antidepressants, etc. I had really thrown the whole apparatus of Western at it. I also had skilled and caring providers, but their tools just did not work for me.Dr Shasta literally gave me my life back. Ive drastically decreased my intake of standard painkillers and antiinflammatories. I maintain my wellness with a few herbal supplements and natural vitamins, and acupuncture when I feel like I could use a bit of a boost, or to treat occasional flare-ups .I give her my highest recommendation. Id give my other treatments for my condition about a 3. Her treatment is a 10+.

Ive been a patient of Shasta Tierra/Way of Wellness since around 2006. Ive had sleeping and pain problems in the past, and her acupuncture has help over the years. I highly recommend her for all your sleep, pain, and other needs.

I started seeing Dr. Tierra after being diagnosed with IBS. I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Shasta. The previous experience I had seeing an acupuncturist was just a quick 5 min conversation of what I was looking to gain from acupuncture. I did not feel like the person really listened to see what my body needed. Dr. Tierra took the time to sit down with me for my first appointment to ask me about my overall health which included physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental. She really made me feel like I could share anything with her and she showed a genuine interest. She created a 6 month plan for me which included a meal plan, exercise recommendations, and additional resources for my emotional and mental health. I was amazed with how much time she was able to spend with me and I left the appointment feeling excited for the journey I was going to be taking with acupuncture. I followed her Kitchari recipe and it has been a god send! With the plan she created, I was able to significantly lower my IBS symptoms and have dropped over 16 lbs. since my first appointment. I leave each appointment feeling better and at ease. I am so incredibly thankful that I was recommended to see her. If you are in need of acupuncture, don’t wait any longer, give her a call! She is passionate and truly cares about your health and making a difference! Thank you Dr. Tierra for all that you have done for me! You truly have saved my life for the better!!

I highly recommend Dr. Shasta. I came here as a last resort, after two miscarriages at age 38 with bad tests results (high FSA and low AMH). The western medicine had recommended IVF at this point but I wanted to try something different. Dr. Shasta had a set program for me. I followed all her recommendations and a couple of months into the treatment, I was pregnant naturally. Thank you Dr. Shasta for all your help!

Dr Shashta is very knowledgable and experienced doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She was really helpful in making me understand the benefits of acupuncture for not just physical but mental health. Along with acupuncture she also suggested to make changes in my diet which are equally important when you have hormonal imbalances. After 3 months of acupuncture I felt calm,relaxed. I can say that anyone thinking about acupuncture must really give it and Dr Shashta a try, its a long term investment in your health which you wont regret.

I have known Dr. ShastaTierra my entire life. She is truely a natural born healer and always has been. Her commitment to health and wellbeing for others is amazing. I suffered from hashimotos hypothyroid autoimmune disease for years and I had no idea what was wrong. I had been misdiagnosed by countless doctors. Dr. Tierra knew immediately what was wrong and helped me reclaim my health and my life. I went from 208 lbs, debilitating cold, foggy brain and extreme anxiety to 145 and fully engaged in life again. I couldnt be more grateful. Thank you Shasta!

Way of Wellness has turned my life around !! At 41 years old I have been recovering from a spine injury for over 4 years with all my treatment from Kaiser….physical therapy, occupational therapy, epidural injections, cortisone injections, and finally a cervical fusion of 3 neck bones…. I thought I would have to consume handfuls of pain pills the rest of my life and be disabled with a cane…. Luckily I was wrong!Dr. Shasta Tierra is a true healer sent from God. She uses many techniques: needles, cupping, electro stimulation, infra-red heat, and verbal counseling. Every time I leave the office I run to my phone to “look up” something new that she recommends. I am a converted skeptic and wish everybody could hear my story.After just a few treatments, I was able to drop my nerve medications by 75% and pain meds by 90% !! A few treatments after that I stopped using my cane all together. After adjusting my diet to her recommendations I lost 30 pounds, both numbers on my blood pressure dropped by 20 points, my resting heart rate has dropped 15 beats per minute, my asthma is gone, my arthritis is gone, I sleep through the whole night, but most important of all I’m a happy person again. Being in constant pain devours your soul and can turn you into a moody pessimistic ass, just ask my wife !Months later I’m back to the weight I was when I was 17, and I “feel” 17 again. No pain, hardly any meds, tons of energy and a renewed thirst for life.Dr. Tierra, words cannot express my enormous gratitude to you , so “THANK YOU” will have to be good enough. You will always have a special place in my heart & prayers.If anybody you know is struggling with chronic pain, do yourself a favor and try Way of Wellness. Take control of your life back…..What have you got to loose ?

I went to see Dr. Tierra for general fatigue and she skillfully brought my body back into alignment. My energy level came back up along with a sense of joy. Dr. Tierra is knowledgeable about the subtleties of the energetic emotional body and very compassionate in her approach. Acupuncture has many applications. Most recently, I visited her for relief of tension in my back. The office is clean and serene with a courteous front desk. Way of Wellness is a place for healing and renewal.

I have always been a believer in acupuncture and a wholistic approach to healing. A big part of that is the food we eat and the products we use to make our food. With Dr. Tierra s diet and other guidelines on nutrition, I have seen results in just over 2 weeks. I have always known about Kitchari, which is a heavenly detox food, that originates in India. But Dr.Tierras modifications of the Kitchari that I was eating, and making it a constant in my diet, has easily helped me lose over 5 pounds in a short time. I can confidently say now that a lot of my excess weight was the toxins from the food I was consuming and the detox has helped flush that away. I also took a few blood tests results that showed really good progress on some key statistics related to my health. Additionally, I feel lighter, a lot more relaxed and focused thanks to my acupuncture treatments. I am so glad I found Dr. Tierra!!

If I could give Dr. Shasta 100 stars I would. I cannot express enough gratitude for her and the profound impact shes had on my life. After years of struggling to get pregnant, my husband and I succeeded with our 3rd IUI treatment. After having our boy, we were so excited to try again for a second baby but were met with more disappointment, having 6 failed IUIs, two miscarriages and a failed IVF round. We thought all hope was lost. We were told by our fertility doctor that we would not get pregnant using my own eggs (the quality was not great) and if I wanted to get pregnant, I would have to use donor eggs. I was devastated and about to give up. I remembered a friend had mentioned that her friend used acupuncture to help her get pregnant so I set out on my research assignment and found Dr. Shasta. The stars had aligned in that moment. She provided the missing piece to our journey. Upon meeting her via Zoom I knew she could help. Her expertise in fertility acupuncture, combined with a heart of gold, helped me achieve what I was told was impossible. I worked with her for 6 months to reset my body and regenerate healthier cells. I went for my IVF egg retrieval and got more eggs and better quality. Along my journey, she taught me so much more than just attending an acupuncture session. She discussed supplements, recipes, yoga, tinctures and more. I have never felt healthier in my life than when I was working with her to get pregnant.What sets Dr. Shasta apart is not just her knowledge and skill but the genuine care that she has for each and every patient. From the moment you walk into her calming space, you feel welcomed, heard and supported in a way that is rare to find in healthcare today (which I certainly wasnt feeling at my first fertility clinic). She is truly invested in your success and well-being, treating you as more than just a patient but as a part of her extended family. She would check up on me via phone call or text throughout my journey and continues to check in to this day. Her passion for her craft and her patients is undeniable and you can feel it in every session.If youre considering acupuncture for fertility or any other health concern, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shasta. She embodies everything a small business should be - dedicated, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does. My family and I are forever grateful for the role she played in bringing our little miracle double rainbow baby into the world.Thank you Dr. Shasta for all that you do, we are truly thankful for you.
