I just received one of the best massages from Jen. Let's just say that I've been around the block a time or two, for massages that is and Jen was AMAZING! I've been in the spa industry as an esthetician for almost seven years. I'm extremely particular and a harsh critic, I couldn't get in to see my usual therapist and it was meant to be that I came across Shen Shen and now feel blessed to have discovered a haven and a woman with a real healing touch. Jen used several different massage methods and I feel like a new person!
Pros: Affordable, convenient location, plenty of meters available, staff is sweet and the facilities were very clean
Cons: I didn't find it sooner

Christine performed a cosmetic acupuncture series on me with tremendous results. Within the first couple of treatments I immediately noticed a genuine glow in my skin. Even my sun spots faded a bit. As the series progressed, my fine lines and wrinkles were diffused. It was like botox without the frozen face effect. Friends who have know me for years want to know what sort of "work" I've had done and are now signing up for the cosmetic acupuncture series themselves. Christine is very good at what she does, and her treatments left me not only looking refreshed but feeling refreshed as well. I highly recommend Christine AND the cosmetic acupuncture series. This will continue to be my birthday present to myself from this year forward.

My back was killing me and went in for acupuncture. The staff made me feel very comfortable, which wasn't easy given I had never tried acupuncture before. The treatment really helped and I highly recommend Shen Shen to anyone considering acupuncture.
Pros: great staff

The atmosphere is great, the employees are knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I would strongly recommend Shen Shen to anyone interested in massage, acupuncture, or herbs. The staff is always friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about the treatments. Perfect place to go for someone interested in getting acupuncture for the first time!

I am being treated with herbs and acupuncture by Rachel and she is wonderful! Within two weeks of starting the herbs that Rachel perscribed my symptoms started to diminish. Also, I am not a fan of needles but, Rachel walked me through the entire acupuncture proceedure - explained everything she was doing and why and made sure I was very comfortable. Everyone I have been in contact with at Shen Shen (receptionists, the owner, Rachel, Bob) are very nurturing and seem genuinley concerned about my health/wellbeing. I have already and will continue to recommend Shen Shen to anyone intereted in acupuncture, herbal treatments and/or massage.
Pros: ambience, service, results

I have been to Shen Shen--a serene world on busy Lincoln Ave.--for treatments with Reiki Master Mickey Parent. When I'm under stress, my brain seems to echo with chatter, as a hundred different anxieties clamor for my attention. I have found that a Reiki treatment with Mickey quiets this chatter and allows me to reach a state of relaxation and serenity that lingers for a day or more. Often this is enough time for me to regroup and begin to confidently take care of the very obligations that caused the anxiety in the first place. I deeply trust Mickey's skill and integrity; her warm and assured touch helps me find a calm center within myself. When I step back onto Lincoln Avenue, I feel ready to face the stresses of city life!

I came to Shen Shen for a Reiki treatment with Mickey Parent to help relieve the stress and stiffness I was feeling. The treatment was done on a massage table in one of the quiet, private rooms. I wore loose, comfortable clothing while Mickey did the treatment. Soothing music was playing in the background. I felt completely relaxed and revitalized when she was done. I found it more relaxing than a convential massage.
Pros: The treatment itself, lovely setting, pleasant staff, very accomodating
Cons: Parking was OK, I didn't have much trouble finding a spot

I never thought that I would be able to stop smoking, but a friend of mine told me that acupuncture helped her quit. I decided to give it a try, and made an appointment at Shen Shen. I was definitely skeptical, but all of the people there were so honest and encouraging that I decided to stick with it. I had a total of five sessions, and thankfully was able to kick the habit. Along with helping to ease my cravings, I have noticed numerous additional health benefits. My heartburn has improved dramatically, and my shoulder tension is gone. I have already referred my acupuncturist to three of my friends. Definitely check this place out; I am sure you will have a positive experience.
Pros: Professional, Clean, Effective, Enjoyable
Cons: non

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Jia and everyone else at Shen Shen. If you are suffering with any kind of health issue, and are considering acupuncture, I strongly encourage you to give it a try. This is the place to go, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I have never felt better. Just walking into Shen Shen makes me feel great; the energy is amazing. I have never come across so many warm and caring individuals in one place before.
Pros: an absolute class act
Cons: none

I have been suffering with chronic outer knee pain for eyars. After seeing several physical therapists and orthopedic specialists, I decided to try accupuncture. I'm so glad that I did! Even though I was a bit skeptical, Rachel went through a thorough intake of my problem. She did a number of points on my knees, and then also did points to help with digestion, complexion, and overall energy wellness. It's been about 7 weeks now, and I have never felt better! The knee pain is all but gone, and I feel more relaxed. The herbal formulas she recommended have also been helpful. You really need to do consecutive sessions for a while to get the full benefit, but I'm telling you that it's worth it!
Pros: Clean and professional atmosphere
Cons: None really
