I called Joanna Shell in February of 2009 to seek treatment for fertility issues. It was my first time with acupuncture so I was nervous. Joanna has a very nice style and put me at ease right away. She listened to all of my concerns and walked me through the process step by step. I actually came to enjoy and look forward to my "needling". I know I felt better physically after each session. I am proud to say that I am the proud mother of twin 2-year old girls now and can't thank Joanna enough for preparing my body for that twin pregnancy. Joanna's knowledge of fertility issues and health was really eye opening and I know I'm a healthier, happier person today because of her! Thank you Joanna!

I feel so fortunate to have found Joanna and I highly recommend her for acupuncture! I was referred to Joanna by my Ob-gyn at the Sequoia Hospital Women's Care Clinic for fertility treatments. From the beginning I felt like Joanna carefully tailored her treatments to my symptoms and monitored my progress. I always leave appointments feeling completely relaxed. Joanna is extremely kind and personable, and she has been a great partner on my journey to parenthood!

I had a pain in my stomach that I couldn’t articulate. I went to Joanna and after many questions, pulse taking, and looking at my tongue, she explained to me that I was suffering from anxiety. She took time to explain everything from the Chinese medicine perspective (something about my liver qi) and how exercise, eating the right foods, some herbs, and acupuncture would help me feel better. I wasn’t so sure but then she put a needle at the top of my head and one in between my eyebrows and the pit in my stomach disappeared. I continued treatment for a few months and now only go for tune-ups. I feel so much better!! Thanks Joanna!
