Great Wellness Center

by Diane22

I just had my first session with Michelle, and it was such a wonderful experience. She was incredibly warm and personable and took the time to answer all of my questions. The needles didn't hurt at all, it was nothing like getting a shot. The treatment was so relaxing and I haven't had any headaches or back pain since. I definitely plan to go back and recommend her highly!

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Very Knowledgable, Several Treatment Options

Amazing Acupuncture Experience

by mcjuga

I started seeing Christine at Shen Shen a few months ago for treatment and to improve my overall health. I now tell everyone they should see her. The space is quiet, clean and very comfortable. The staff is always nice, very knowledgeable and accomodating. The prices are particularly affordable for the level of service you receive. I highly recommend Christine for acupuncture. She loves her job and really cares for her patients. She listens and makes sure she knows everything she can to find the right treatment for your needs. I have seen her specifically for allergies and fertility issues. I have experienced tangible, positive results for both issues that I contribute to acupuncture and her guidance. They have so many great treatments available there, beyond just acupuncture... You will not regret checking them out. I wasn't sure, but now I am so happy I went. I never knew how much I would look forward to getting needles stuck in me once a week!

• Pros: professional, affordable, knowledgeable staff

Jen is FABULOUS!

by diro

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

Better Than Botox

by alcuno

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.

Great acupuncture!

by jackh501

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!

Real results!

by simone3

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

Serenity on Lincoln Ave.

by betsyr

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!

Completely relaxing and re-energizing Reiki treatment by Mickey Parent

by mariellen

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

Great Experience

by dcobs

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
