“Being in my 90s, I had never considered acupuncture before, but I was getting no further relief from traditional pain treatments for my chronic arthritis in my shoulders and knees. Dr. Shel has been such a blessing! She always greets me so warmly, and asks about my all over health; my stressors, my diet, as well as the specific pain I am experiencing. Her concern goes well beyond just treating my symptoms, but to improving my overall health.
Her treatments have reduced my pain level, not only by using acupuncture, but also therapeutic massage and the wonderful products she sends home with me to further alleviate my discomfort.
I highly recommend Dr. Shel to anyone.”

“Dr Shel is truly a unique and caring resource. She has helped me through the hardest shift of my life with incredible compassion, knowledge and life experience. Her knowledge from her teaching career helped me understand and parent my children, even while going through difficult divorce. Her integrative treatments for stress and focus gave me huge relief over the years, and most importantly supported me to show up for my kids from a more balanced state. And they love coming to see Dr Shel too! Dr Shel is a family favorite, we are so grateful.”

“Working with Dr. Shel is amazing! She has a depth of knowledge and treatment that has helped my body heal through some difficult pain and old problem areas no one else could help me with. She also provided exercises that have helped to support and strengthen me back into movement.”

“Dr Shel is a very unique doctor with an incredible ability to listen deeply at the core issues and challenges across the modalities of body and mind.  What initially started off as digestion consultation, she allowed me to learn more about my body. She completely removed my very painful menstrual symptoms and the advil pills I was relying on for ten years. We worked through brain fog, lower back pain, cramps, and fatigue. I am more knowledgeable about my body and have better tools to predict and reduce my pain and inflammation, now. Thank you Dr Shel!”

“We started seeing Dr Shel when my son was four years old and having behavior and attention issues at preschool. She had helped friends of ours when their daughter as she started kindergarten with similar issues. She really is magical and she handled our anxieties and our son’s unique behavior with such ease. Her kind and creative skill was a breath of fresh air, and the way she teaches health through stories, exercises and games is amazing.”

“Dr. Shel di Montagna at Jade Rivers has an innate ability to calm and heal. She helped me understand the root of my desire to peacefully grow into myself and leave unhealthy habits behind. She coached me through the uneasiness of a complete lifestyle reversal- applying a substantial cleanse to my diet and substance intake. Followed up by her profound understanding of redirecting my energetic pathways through acupuncture, the holistic nature of what she does helped light my inner spark to be more conscious and healthy. Later this month it will be one whole year since I have drank alcohol!”

“Dr. Shel Di Montagna truly cares about her patients and takes the time to listen. She is incredibly knowledgeable about acupuncture, Chinese herbs and medicine, and how everything works together to get me feeling better again. Too often, I feel practitioners say they take a holistic approach but the reality fall short. With Dr. Shel, I know she practices what she preaches. She treats the whole body – from the swelling from my previously broken ankle, to reduce inflammation in my body, addressing nutrition, and making sure my hormones are working correctly to get me where I want to be. Thank you, Dr. Shel!”

M, 33

“I truly love this place. You come for an acupuncture treatment and you get so much extra care! Soft loving care. Dr Shel helped me prepare and go through my first professional tango competition that was super challenging for my body. As a former dancer, Dr. Shel was especially understanding of what I was going through and provided so much relief to my sore muscles and strained ankles, shared lots of wisdom on how to support myself in the training process. Now I recommend this acupuncture clinic to all dancers!”

“Dr. Shel is the most amazing practitioner. I have been seeing her for years and she always serves as a partner in identifying the root cause of any issue I may be having, and coming up workable real life solutions to fix them. If you want someone who will genuinely listen to you and cares about improving the quality of your life, Dr. Shel is it. Her breadth of knowledge in so many diverse fields provides incredible care no matter what the issues you may be tackling.”

Registered Dietitian

“As a Registered Dietitian, I have had the honor to work alongside Dr Shel di Montagna for over a decade. She is the most educated and kind integrative resource I know. Her extensive and diverse medical background blends perfectly with the friendly, compassionate and whole-hearted approach of the sweet teacher she was. She has helped patients lose weight, reduce inflammation and meet challenging diet shifts with confidence and excitement. I am consistently amazed how gracefully she empowers patients to overcome plateaus and conquer longstanding obstacles in her care.”

T, 47

“Dr Shel is amazing! I have been a patient of hers for a few years now. I have been seeing her primarily for acupuncture but also have done some deeper functional medicine lab work. She provides an excellent level of service. She is very personable and cares deeply about her patients. I have been very happy with the results of my acupuncture and leave feeling renewed. I strongly recommend making an appointment with her!”
