ABOUT SHAKEH
From a young age, I've been drawn to the wonders of science and medicine. After
earning my Bachelor of Science in Biology, I began working as a technician in
various medical laboratories and later as a project manager in clinical trials. While
I built a great respect for Western sciences, I never felt as fortunate until I found
my calling in Eastern medicine. Over twenty years ago, I experienced the
transformative power of acupuncture firsthand, after receiving several helpful
acupuncture treatments for an unresolved pain in my leg. This sparked a strong
curiosity in me to learn this mysterious discipline.
With the support of my husband and family, I further pursued my education in
the healing arts of Asian medicine and became an acupuncturist in 2006. I then
established an office in Toluca Lake, CA, and have since been certified in
Functional Medicine for several years. Due to life’s circumstances, and much to
my delight, my husband and I moved to the lovely community in Pine Mountain
Club, CA in 2020, where I launched my second office, “Alternative Health Center”.
I am passionate about helping my clients achieve optimal health and wellness
through the powers of Eastern and Western medicine. Whether you're dealing
with chronic pain, stress, or other health issues, I'm here to guide you on your
journey to a happier, healthier life.
I am also committed to my own health by keeping up with my hobbies, like
reading, hiking, road biking, Qi gong and yoga.
