Georjana Grace Shames, LAc, NHD

Georjana was very professional and informative. The acupuncture was stimulating to say the least. Good first time experience, definately should be your first call.

I came to see Georgana about six months ago and have been returning regularly ever since! I’ve had nothing but supremely positive experiences!
I first came not really knowing what I needed, but knowing that I needed SOMETHING. I’m a full time graduate student full of stress and my body was feeling «out of whack». Each time I saw Georgana I left feeling calm, centered, and ready to continue moving forward (but at a new pace). Georgana is easy and delightful to talk to, and is extremely thoughtful about your comfort in all ways (the temperature is just right, the music is soothing, there are so many little personal touches). I feel like I can breathe again. She is very intentional and thoughtful about what needle positions to use, as well as intelligent yet easy to understand when I’ve asked for more information about them.
More than being sensitive and intuitive, Georgana also has a real mindfulness towards safety in regards to needles and herbs.
I had had only one prior acupuncture experience with a different practitioner before finding Georgana, and there is a very noticeable difference. Georgana is just frankly wonderful at what she does. It’s an incredibly nurturing experience that brings me back and back and back!

I’ve been seeing Georjana for a few months and I look forward to every session. Georjana is very professional and gets to know you and your medical history before doing the acupuncture. She explains what she’s doing and how it will benefit you. She gave me great information about what I should be doing and looking for and nutritional advice to help me.
She is really great with the needles and they don’t hurt at all going in. The room is nice and you get to rest on a heated pad on the table. She often has relaxing music playing and I’ve almost drifted off to sleep with the needles in. The next best part is that the chinese herbs she uses do not need to be brewed on the stove, they are ground up and you make a tea with them per her instructions. SO much easier than herbs I’ve had with in the past.
I leave feeling really balanced, energized and focused.

I received a wonderful acupuncture session from Ms. Shames over a month ago. I was feeling stressed and wired from daily life and needed help calming down, tuning into my breath, and revitalizing my energy.
Ms. Shames allowed me to rest alone on the table for over 30 minutes once the needles were inserted. I could feel energy moving through my body, and a warm sensation filled my abdomen. I came out of the session feeling clearer, focused, and relaxed.
I highly recommend her for assistance with chronic pain, fatigue, and relaxation.
