Shasta is informative and answered all of the questions I had when I first started acupuncture. She is so fun to connect to and build a relationship with because she genuinely cares for the well-​being of her clients. By working with Shasta, you are not only receiving acupuncture but you also have the opportunity to learn other forms of alternative medicine. Her practice is great and I always leave feeling happy and rejuvenated!

I went to see Shasta for acupuncture treatments after my rotator cuff surgery, the result of many years of playing competitive volleyball. I’d heard great things about her and her practice, and found all to be true… she’s extremely professional, knowledgeable, and a wonderful, caring person. I was initially tentative as my arm was still in a sling to keep my shoulder immobile, and my shoulder was very tender to the touch after the surgery. But she’s clearly an expert and more well-​rounded in her knowledge of the body and healing than others I’ve seen for acupuncture, and I felt I was in good hands. With the acupuncture treatments, the swelling and pain in my shoulder decreased, and the sessions themselves were very relaxing. My shoulder has healed really well and fast (as even my surgeon noted), and I’ve continued to recommend Shasta to others who could benefit from her great care.

I came to Shasta after careful consideration since, like others, I was a little skeptical of acupuncture and on a budget. So worth it!!! I’ve had consistent treatments since July 2015. I had adrenal fatigue which left me feeling wired and tired. I was also experiencing a sense of overwhelm, stress & edginess. I started with 3 treatments a week for 4 weeks + kitcheri. Ask Shasta about the kitcheri and commit to do it — amazing results. I now feel that I’m back into flow of my life, found access to natural energy AND I LOST WEIGHT!!!
Shasta is extremely knowledgeable and happily shares that with you. She’ll write it down on a sticky note, print it off and you’ll have it in your hand when you leave. I’ve recommended her to my closest family and friends who live in the area. She will take care of you and acupuncture works.

Shasta is such a beautiful soul. She is gentle, kind and so loving. You can tell she has such passion for what she does and she truly cares about getting you out of pain and getting you to feel your best self. I felt really safe with Shasta. She took her time with me and didn’t rush things along. Acupuncture with Shasta has helped me with lowering my blood pressure, lowering my anxiety and has helped with my generalized shoulder, lower back and neck pain. Bonus… I am sleeping so much better. I highly recommend acupuncture with Shasta. Cheers to feeling amazing again!

I consulted this place for help with stress management and blood pressure control. I was very pleased with the office and especially Shasta. She was very professional and really listened to me. I have been coming here a few weeks now and can already see a positive change. She is even covered on my insurance plan. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Shasta Tierra is the Fertility Goddess. She not only is an expert in the physical manifestation of joyously making your family grow as I’ve seen with other patients and in pictures around her office she also assists you in aligning your energies making it possible to birth anything you want to create in your life and that can be anything. She helped me really hone my scattered energies and brought so much focus to my life. Not only have my goals become clear I received with treatment the ENERGY to help me get there. For this new sense of passion and determination for life I’m forever indebted to Shasta’s keen sense of intuition and knowledge. She is true to the medicine.

I started with Dr. Shasta Tierra for residual pain for a broken leg. Although I was skeptical, I have to say it was amazing to have the pain relief!
Shasta really helped me begin my path to wellness. I continued treatments for back pain and received appropriate referrals when necessary. Her wellness makeover helped me begin to discover my many food allergies. I continue to see Shasta for «tune up» treatments monthly. I appreaciate that she always asks for my preference and comfort during a treatment. I always feel better and more grounded following each one of them.
Thank you, Shasta, for your support of my path to health during the past few years! My life is so much better than it was before I knew you!

I have had the honor of seeing Shasta for over 20 years now (when we were both relative kids)
She has helped me overcome serious medical issues twice. She is amazing and knows her craft equally well.
My whole family sees her and will continue to do so.

I am 37 years old Indian Female. I went to Dr Shasta after two failed IVF as I was trying to conceive from two years. Honestly I went with very less hope. After initial consultation Shasta told me that I am stressed most of the times and thats effecting the body hormones. I started going to Accupuncture three times a week and also followed the diet she suggested (Khichdi).
Within 6 weeks I got pregnant :). I feel like some miracle happened. I can’t thank you enough Shasta, so writing this review for others to realize power of your acupuncture…

Her work is quick, smooth, and informative. I had wrist pain with emphasis on had for over a year and after one session it was significantly less pain and after two sessions the pain was gone for good and over a month down the line the pain is still nonexistent. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

I must say I was a bit skeptical of the whole acupuncture thing, but after only 1 visit I am now a believer! I’ve struggled with anxiety/​stress all my life, but feel much more relaxed now. Everything seems so much clearer and my focus on everyday tasks and work has also gotten significantly better. I also have really bad shoulders/​back from sports and weightlifting, and again, I do feel much much better. I can actually sleep thru the night, and like the way I used to. I can only imagine after more treatments how I will feel. If you have any doubts like I did, I urge you to give Shasta and acupuncture a try… you won’t regret it!
Thank you so much Shasta for an amazing experience and look forward to seeing you in the immediate future. A+++

I wanted to start my review by saying that Shasta is amazing, I went to see her a few weeks ago to treat adult acne, in the last 6 months since I started with this problems I went to see so many holistic doctors, and nothing seems to help, finally I found her on Unilocal and reading all the good reviews about her, I decided to see she, I schedule my appointment, and I was surprise with all questions about my health and my eating habits, after a thorough consultation she gave instructions to follow at home, she introduced me to Kitchari «God bless her for that» and since I started following her instructions my life has change completely. I had been struggling with binge eating disorder for almost 15 years, I was addicted to sugar and I mean very very addicted to sugar and carbs, my blood sugar was a mess, I had acne, I was bloated all the time, I had no energy at all, I was gaining weigh, my skin was always very dry, I was craving sugar and carbs all day long, I felt hopeless. After my consultation with Shasta I went to the grocery store and got everything I needed to cook the Kitchari, the following day I stared eating it thinking «what is this going to do in my body, I don’t see nothing special in it» but OMG let me tell you this Kitchari soup is amazing, for the first time in many years I didn’t have any craving for sweets or carbs, I was totally amaze, I keep eating the way she suggested and I keep getting better and better every day, NO MORE CRAVING FOR SWEETS AND CARBS, Kitchari is amazing, Shasta is amazing, LIFE IS AMAZING!!!
If you are suffering from any illness or you just want to feel better, Shasta Tierra is the way to go.

I went to see Shasta several months ago after suffering a rib injury. I had tried everything including chiropractic, massage, trigger point therapy, muscle stimulation, medication and ice. I would get some relief, but the issue did not go away. I was in constant pain and it was affecting my work and home life.
Shasta listened to what I had to say and recommended a package of treatments. She did not pressure me at all, and in fact, told me that I could think about it. I decided to go ahead with the package.
Each treatment she did acupuncture and electro acupuncture on me. I noticed a change after the first treatment. After about 5 treatments, I had very little pain left. After 10 treatments, I was pain free.
It has now been a over a month since my last appointment and I am still pain free. If you are looking for an acupuncturist, look no further! Shasta is the best!
Thank you Shasta!

I went to see Dr. Shasta for a few different reasons — infertility, Headaches, anxiety. My husband and I had been trying to have a baby for almost 2 years and had been doing fertility treatments for the past 6 months. I went to Dr. Shasta to help with my egg quality and lining and after 2 months of seeing her I was able to get pregnant. Given I was doing fertility treatments as well, but I think the Acupuncture helped me relax and improve my body overall. One thing that Dr. Shasta also greatly helped me with was my diet which is another factor that can be a cause of infertility. She helped me move to a more Mediterranean diet and was able to drop 5 pounds pretty quickly and also felt like I had a lot more energy.
I have to say I wasn’t very optimistic about trying acupuncture but my mom convinced me to try it and it DEFINITELY works. You feel completely relaxed and full of energy after the session. I recommend trying it with Dr. Shasta!

Shasta is the rudest acupuncturist I ever came across. I let her know I have an important upcoming medical procedure to do and that it was important I see her on Sunday. She then proceeded to let me know she’s making special arrangement to see me on Sunday and started quoting me her rates. When she let me know her rates were $ 60 for an initial consultation I asked her if she wouldn’t mind to lower fee since all other acupuncturists in Bay Area waived or didn’t charge me for initial consultation. She responded by letting me know rudely that they are not legal when they are not charging me since she’s providing me legal service and that if I wanted to go to them I can. When I asked her how long the session would be she lost her temper cut me off and said good luck to me and hung up the phone. Shasta is rude and should not be in natural health business. She stressed me out just in our brief phone discussion today.

I started seeing Shasta about 2 years ago for chronic hives. She recommended that I follow a strict gluten free diet. At the time, I was told by a MD physician that my hives were from stress, so never took into consideration, what Shasta had said about my diet. A year later I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease which is an extreme allergy to gluten, rye, oats and barley. I should have listened to Shasta in the beginning, then I would have avoided another year of hive flair ups. If you are questioning anything about your health and not getting the answers you want from your MD doctor, stop by and see Shasta. She is kind, personable, will work to find a resolution, to whatever might be bothering you!

I really enjoy seeing Shasta for acupuncture. I went there after my husband bought a deal through Amazon local. We were gearing up for infertility treatments, but decided to try acupuncture first, mostly because the deal offered through Amazon seemed reasonable. I’ve never done acupuncture before but there are some good data on it for fertility problems. Prior to seeing Shasta, two specialists told us that we would have a very slim chance of conceiving naturally. Long story short, I got a positive pregnancy test after 5 weekly acupuncture sessions! It is still early in the process, but we are excited to even be at this point.
My insurance doesn’t cover acupuncture, so it required some reshuffling of funds to do weekly treatments, but we decided to give it a try and are glad we found Shasta. I also did some of the diet recommendations she made — less dairy and soy, and more warming foods.

Voucher say «Subject to forfeiture». I called the day of appointment and they refused to work with me. Things happen sometimes.
Thanks for ruining my Christmas gift.

Looking for another acupuncturist today on Unilocal as I will need regular treatments. Got pissed off again that this business thinks keeping all your hard earned money without rendering any service is ethical. A refund minus «fee» would have been acceptable. But to keep the entire $ 85 or whatever it was… terrible. It’s too bad zero stars wasn’t an option.
