Shasta is an amazing individual that has a true passion to help women with infertility issues. She is kind, humble and extremely down to earth. I was referred to Shasta two years ago by a colleague who spoke very highly about her and the services she provides. I was not so keen on the thought of having needles all over my body. I read all of her reviews and did my own research on the benefits of acupuncture for fertility.
A little background about me, I'm over 43 and have been trying to conceive for over 5 years and was not successful. I met with my fertility doctors who suggested IVF was the only route due to the age risk factors. We started our IVF treatments two years ago and after the first two treatments cycles, I was not getting the results we wanted. The Dr. suggested i consider alternative options like adopting or egg donor. I was not going to give up that easy. I decided to give Shasta a chance and scheduled my first consultation. She was very thorough and explained how acupuncture can help my infertility along with the process which put me at ease.
My very first session was very relaxing, she explained to me why the needles get placed on certain areas and the purpose is to redirect the blood flow to the right areas. Her overall holistic approach was very comforting and educational. Within two months of consistent acupuncture and changing my lifestyle, diet and mindset we started to see a positive result with me responding to the IVF meds. Fast forward, I went through a total of 8 IVF cycles and was able to have a successful egg retrieval with healthy embryos. I continued to see Shasta over the course of time even after my implantation which was a success.
I'm now expecting baby girl due this summer!!!
Thanks to Shasta for her continued support and knowledge about the benefits of acupuncture. I highly recommend Shasta if you are having any difficulty with trying to start a family.
