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 have extensively worked with auto accident injury cases, helping patients fully heal even after several years of unresolved pain.

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 so much better over the following few days. Due to the previous loss I had a lot of anxiety about the pregnancy and Shirliey was so insightful, assuring me that what I was going through was perfectly normal and celebrating all the milestones with me. I feel really lucky to have found Shirliey and to work with her as part of my birth team.

I even have a bit of a needle aversion and she is so gentle and thoughtful about the process. She really cares for you as a whole person and I only wish more providers were like this. I couldn't recommend her more.

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 how incredibly careful she is. She is also genuinely caring without judgment and knows how to hold space for whatever your body is going through. And she offers advice from many years of experience which I really appreciate.

I will also say, I've gotten a lot more in tune with my body since working with her, since she asks about things that I wouldn't normally even think about. I'm now 5 months pregnant and continuing this healing journey with Shirliey's support. Couldn't recommend her more!

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.

Shirliey is a treasure. I have been seeing her for over a year and a half. I had been to a different acupuncturist to help with fertility but wasn't feeling a lot of benefit so decided to see Shirliey instead. I'm glad I did! After 6 years of struggling with fertility I'm happy to report that I am 6 months pregnant! Shirliey never gave up hope and always offered encouraging words when I was feeling down.

She also helped me with tips on how to achieve a better diet, better digestion and better sleep habits, which I'm sure contributed to finally being able to conceive (naturally, I might add!) I don't know if I would be where I'm at today without her acupuncture expertise and overall support.

Shirliey really cares about her patients. I have PCOS and endometriosis and started seeing Shirliey for fertility acupuncture and Maya abdominal work about a year and a half ago. She worked with me through a variety of treatments (including homeopathic efforts, letrozole, and ultimately IUI). With consistent treatment, Shirliey's work definitely positively contributed to my ultimate success in getting pregnant.

She is very warm and giving and genuinely wants the best for her patients. Not only was the fertility work a success, but whenever I had other complaints (e.g. headaches), she would work on those points and I would always feel better. Shirliey comes highly recommended.

I felt a connection with Shirley from the moment I met her and cannot recommend her and her practice highly enough! Shirliey is warm, kind, knowledgable, and truly skilled at treating many issues from digestion to fatigue to physical pain. Also, I told Shirliey, on my first visit, that I was ready to conceive and just starting to try, but worried it would be a challenge because of my age and past history with fibroids.

I became pregnant within one month of working with Shirley (I believe after seeing her for only a couple of sessions)! Shirliey has been an incredible support throughout my pregnancy, going above and beyond to accommodate my schedule, treat my symptoms, and make me feel at ease. At 22 weeks, I believe the work Shirliey has done with me has been integral to my, thus far, healthy pregnancy. The quality of service and care that Shirley provides at Wealth Acupuncture is hard to come by- I cannot recommend her enough.

Shirliey has been an amazing support before and during my pregnancy. I've get strong and healthy and balanced and had very few and moderate unpleasant pregnancy symptoms. I look forward to each visit with her and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of acupuncture - especially if you're looking help with fertility and or prenatal support!

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.

Shirliey is the best! I've been working with Shirliey for about a year and a half (this review is long overdue) and she has been wonderful. I initially scheduled with Shirliey because I was interested in Maya abdominal therapy as well as acupuncture and she had great reviews for both. After working with her for just a few months, we definitely saw progress with the reproductive issue I came to her with.

In addition to this treatment, Shirliey has always made sure that my whole body is balanced and functioning properly and has given me great nutritional/health advice. On top of the great treatments I have received, Shirliey is super personable and I always have a great time chatting with her during my appointments! Thanks Shirliey :)

Shirliey is the absolute best! I highly recommend seeing her for fertility support and/or overall health. I had been struggling with infertility for almost 5 years, and my husband and I were ready to begin IVF when I decided to try acupuncture again. I researched and found Wealth Acupunture and upon meeting Shirliey, I instantly felt comfortable. She really goes above and beyond to make her patients feel at ease and well listened to. Shirliey gave me dietary advice, and combined healing methods of acupuncture, Mayan massage and herbs.

After seeing her for 3 months, I fell pregnant and my husband and I are now expecting. We are so thankful to Shirliey! I continue to see her throughout my pregnancy and will continue down the road for postpartum and recovery.

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.

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.
