I'm a 25 year old female who for the first time in my life sought acupuncture.

I initially came to see Shasta out of curiosity, and the longing to feel better. Being a single mother, I thought it was normal to feel tired, drained, sick, week, and anxious all of the time, but after just one visit with Shasta I realized that just might not be the case.

Within a few weeks of treatments, and following Shasta's direction, I noticed my energy had risen, I fought off a flu I normally would have gotten, felt warmer, and all around healthier. After one months of my first treatment I felt well enough to quit smoking, which I didn't have planned and didn't think was possible because I had been smoking for 12 years (since I was 13 years old). With treatments from Shasta every other day for two weeks, to my utmost surprise quitting was much easier than I had ever expected. Since I quit about eight other people around me have quit, including my mother who smoked for 30 years!

I will continue my care with Shasta to feel the best and healthiest I can, as well to learn how to take care of myself and my two year old son.
