What is Acupuncture? Developed over 3000 years ago, acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin needles into specific points on the body. The needles work by stimulating, building, and unblocking energy and by helping the body return to a balanced and healthy state. Once the body is balanced, it heals itself.
What is The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy? Developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo, Maya Abdominal Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive form of massage done on the abdomen, low back, and sacrum. The techniques help reposition organs that have shifted and now disrupt the flow of blood, lymph, nerves, and qi.
My acupuncture and Maya Abdominal Massage practice specializes in women's health and fertility and in the treatment of pain and digestion. I am one of the only practitioners in Oakland to offer a combination of The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage and acupuncture. I also have expertise in the treatment of chronic and acute pain, depression, digestive and respiratory conditions, and more.

I first came to see Shirliey right after a miscarriage to help my body heal and prepare for trying again. From our very first meeting, she was incredibly empathetic and gave me confidence and a plan for how we were going to move forward. She contributed so much to the healing process both physically and emotionally.
Just three months later we conceived again and are now almost half way! Shirliey not only helped my body prepare for pregnancy, but was also able to address any issues that came up like spotting, nausea, low energy. Our sessions were the highlight of my week as I knew I would feel

Shirliey is THE BEST!! I have never felt so good, balanced, and healthy in my entire life. I came to Shirliey to help with infertility. I started with her in December and got pregnant shortly afterwards in February!!! She has been my Angel throughout this journey and I’m so grateful to her. She has such a calm demeanor, is understanding, a highly skilled and knowledgeable acupuncturist, and overall a wonderful human being. Highly recommended!

I started working with Shirliey over two years ago and can’t imagine how I could have gotten through this time without her. From the very first session, I was so amazed at the time she took to just listen, and that has continued and the treatments are very responsive. She also remembers things I forget about which is super helpful! I had never done Accupuncture before but several doctors recommended it so I thought it would just be something to try. It really became a core part of my treatment. Going through COVID I really appreciated never having to worry about anything during sessions knowing

I've been seeing Shirliey since 2015 and she's without a doubt one of the best acupuncturists I've seen. I have chronic back problems and other stress-related ailments and she's the first person I contact when they flare up. She's incredibly caring and knowledgeable and I always leave our treatments feeling much better. It's always a calm and really pleasant experience and would recommend her to anyone!

Shirley is an incredibly intuitive healer. She has helped me immensely in just a few months, and I feel confident that her therapies will completely correct my hormonal imbalances. I look forward to each visit. Her office is friendly, inviting, a zen environment where I truly relax and allow myself to heal my mind, body, & soul. Shirley is a true ray of sunshine and a gift to us all.

Shirley is an amazing healer! I was experiencing acute and mysterious hormonal issues that were very debilitating; within a few months my trouble was relegated to a non-issue and has remained dormant. I see her for maya abdominal treatment and acupuncture; she's great not just for women with fertility issues but any person with a hormonal/system imbalance. Shirley is expert at her work and puts you at ease. Friendly, open, listens carefully to all of your symptoms and is as invested in your healing as you are. The studio itself is very clean and comfortable.

I highly recommend Shirliey. I've been seeing Shirliey for around 9 months, and in that time my digestion has really improved, my skin has completely cleared up, and my periods have become more regular. I always look forward to seeing Shirliey - she's very passionate and enthusiastic about what she does and you really feel she cares about you and your health.

I started seeing Shirliey to help me with my painful cramps and infertility. She completely changed my life, coaching me through a new diet, routine, and way of treating my health. She’s been extremely supportive when I’ve battled the ups and downs of my fertility journey. Acting as an outlet to talk to and treat everything my body is feeling our causing me irritation or pain. I leave her room happy, relaxed, and calm because I’d just spent at hour with a close friend.

One of the things about any medical treatment - conventional or alternative - is that you form a connection with your provider. I found a connection with Shirliey almost immediately, based on her efforts to understand why I was coming in to see her and the sense of caring empathy she displayed.
Her sensitivity in the way in which she performed the treatments was basically pain free, with each session leaving me feeling as if I had just come from a place of sanctuary.
She is a gifted and skilled provider of acupuncture services who will help with your journey to a healthier place.
