So, this is coming from someone who hated needles and is very far from earthly, holistic stuff. I was married at 38 and yearned to be a mom. Due to my age, things were difficult. After a certain age, you do not have that many viable eggs left. I started doing research and asking lots of people about their experiences and what not, I really wanted a child of my own. I kept hearing that acupuncture would help, but I was skeptical. I spoke to a friend who was also an older mom about her experiences, and she told me about Shasta. This sounded like someone I could handle and that was not all hippy (not that it would be a bad thing) but just not my cup of tea. I called to make an appointment and left a message with what I wanted and needed. She called me the next day and was very friendly, caring, and explained a lot. I went in and was happy to find a beautiful woman who was welcoming and understood my concerns and fears and wanted nothing more than to make me feel comfortable and assure me she was here to help. I had not had success getting pregnant on my own before this. After we talked and I found out that I could get this covered by my insurance for a number of visits, we started a plan. She gave me suggestions on my diet, exercise, and supplements to help me conceive. I did it all I became pregnant right away. I was shocked and amazed. Now here is the reality of life, I did miscarry. I actually got pregnant 7 times and miscarried 7 times, but the fact was now getting pregnant often and quickly with these treatments. Shasta even helped me during my miscarriages to help me recover but to subside bleeding and other pains. She also was a great confidant, she really and truly cares about her patients and cried with me many times with me many, many times. I know you many read this and think, but you miscarried 7 times. I do not look at it that way, I got pregnant 7 times and had not gotten pregnant once doing without Shasta’s help. I changed my mind about holistic healing for sure, although I still do not want an overly earthly person. I think the advice she gave me, the diet I went on, the supplements, her nurturing personality, and of course the acupuncture is why I became so successful. I am happy to say that a month after my 7th miscarriage that I conceived again. I of course was scared, shocked, and so happy! If you look at the photos on this Yelp site, you will see a photo of Shasta, me (long dark hair and purple shirt), and my son in the baby carrier. I had a successful pregnancy and gave birth to my son when I was 43 years old. I conceived naturally, no drugs, no IVF/IUI, and I know that Shasta was a huge part of my success. I highly recommend shasta for all her services. She continues to be a bright light in my life and can never thank her enough for everything she did for us. My sin is now 18-month-old, sorry it took so long to write the review but being a new mommy is a busy life. So, if you have fertility issues please consider Shasta’s services. I also know she helped with back pain, sinus, and lots more. Thanks for all your help, you are more than our acupuncturist… you are our friend!

Dr Shasta Ericson was a blessing to have during a time of unknown uncertainties. She was the calming force that helped in this little girl come about. Thank you Shasta for being a part of our dream come true!

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 don't like needles. Through the combination of her nutritional advice and acupuncture sessions, I feel much better now. Thanks, Shasta!

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 Shasta's 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 Shasta's 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 offices before deciding to work with Way of Wellness. Anyone who comes here won't leave disappointed.

Shasta is wonderful person. She has been very helpful to get me pregnant. I have been trying to get pregnant from past 1 and half year. After four II-Jl failures. I attempted IVF with acupuncture at Way of Wellness which helped me to get pregnant in first attempt. I would recommend her, if you are trying to pregnant through fertility treatments. It has been One Of the most stressful journey but going to acupuncture and encouraging words from Shasta has put me at ease. I am 16weeks pregnant.

Amazing experience with shasta for fertility. She is kind, caring and gentle. Gives diet tips to their symptoms and it helps a lot. I highly recommend shasta for fertility accupunture and it helps you relax and improve blood circulations. I started ovulating after 3 sessions of accupunture.
