The changes in my posture, well being and spinal configuration have made important positive changes in body. I am impressed with every visit with the improvements and the changes that come with proper alignment alignment that appear. Things I had no idea we’re still hanging in from an accident 20 years ago are becoming ironed out. Thank you Doctors Shima and Danielle, much appreciation for the difference you make!

I’ve seen chiropractors for years. Many years actually. About 10 years ago I found Dr. Shima and her team. When I first started working with Dr. Shima she was the only doctor but as time went by there have been others that have joined her team. I’ve seen each new doc evolve and learn over time with Dr. Shima and develop their style. Sometimes I’d rather just see Dr. Shima and the awesome thing is that the while team understands and I don’t feel bad about asking for what I want and need. If you are wondering if Dr. Shima is the chiropractor for you then look no further because she’s is the perfect combo of incredible wisdom, love, intelligence, intuition, kindness and such a magical and giving and loving spirit. I always feel better and start to unwind the moment that I walk into her space and see her. Thank you for taking such good care of me over all of these years.

Way of Life is so much more than a chiropractic office. It is literally a way to a better life. The technique and care of the Doctors is unmatched. I have suffered from migraines since I was very young and since getting my first network adjustment four years ago I have had a extreme decrease in migraines- probably 3 in the entire 4 years, when before I would get them at least every other month. Additionally I saw the doctors during my pregnancy and can happily say I slept well every single night up until delivery with my little one. There truly is no better place to be for care!

Going here was the best decision I ever made for my overall health and posture. My spine feels amazing, Im much more comfortable in my body and my movements are more free than they have ever been (and Im 31 years old). Ive had several sports injuries over the years and have tried just about everything. Network care is by far the most effective form of treatment Ive experienced and Dr. Shima is world class. Im so grateful to have received care from her and Dr. Deanna. The Way of Life Wellness center changed my life and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Dr. Deanna Poneman has changed my life for the better on more than one occasion. Chiropractic work use to make me very nervous and I would only use it as a last resort. The connection and care that Deanna gives made me feel comfortable right away. During my initial appointment, she gave very clear explanations of what was happening and what I might experience. The work itself is so gentle and easy for my body, I almost didnt believe it could work. The relief from the amount of pain I was experience was astounding. I have referred many people to Way of Wellness ever since. Go, go go!!!

Dr. Shima is absolute amazing! I have just had my follow up appointment to review the results of the initial consultation and scans, and to create a wellness plan for me. I have always gone 100 miles an hour and in the last year have had a ton of stress in my life. I am so excited to love my body and myself and to learn to breathe again! Everyone in the office is fabulous.

Dr. Shima is wonderful! Within each session she gives me energy, connects me with God/light/higher power, I get my answers and I feel peaceful. She is truly magical..All the ladies working there are kind and sweet, ready to assist in any way needed. Thank you!!!

I originally started going to Way of Life Wellness Center to help me with physical pain I was dealing with. However to my surprise, Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna’s work not only helped alleviate my physical issues it also helped immensely with my emotional stress load. After each adjustment I felt deeply re centered and relaxed both mentally and physically. To say that Way of Life has changed MY life would be an understatement. I am a completely different person than I was 6 months ago. Their chiropractic expertise is truly one of a kind.

I have no idea how this place has all 5 star reviews despite the quality of care you get here.I went here to see Dr Shima and the very first visit they switched my provider to Dr Danielle without telling me. For next 2 appointments, I didnt know I wasnt seeing Dr Shima. Not a big deal but I expect full transparency when it comes to medical care and given my very complex medical background that these folks were aware of. (I had 140+ medical visits in 2020 due to a jaw disorder and have chronic issues that I was hoping to get resolved here)Dr Danielle was really nice and thorough in going over the treatment plan. However she did make several assumptions about the cause of my stress based on my country of origin which was slightly uncomfortable but I let it slide coz I felt some relaxation after appointments with her . I committed to a treatment plan spanning 2-3 months where I would pay $1400+ for 24 visits and each visit would be ~30 minutes long.Before the 1st of my 24 visits I requested to see Dr Shima based on the reviews here and thats when I saw the really poor quality of care. On my visit, no questions were asked about how Im feeling or what pain points Id like to target. There were at-least 4 patients in the same small room which made me really uncomfortable given Covid. The appointment was 23 minutes long, where Dr Shima would come every 5 minutes for 10-20 seconds, press on some pain points and then go attend other patients. Everyone was getting care simultaneously in contrast to my initial 2 appointments where I was given 1:1 care by Dr Danielle. This definitely was a huge waste of my time and money and I wont be going for any further visits.The two stars Im giving are for the thorough care and assessment I received from Dr Danielle. I dont know if she also treats multiple patients in parallel in the 20 minutes appointment but she didnt do that with me.

I have been going to Way Of Life Wellness for more than a year. it has been an amazing experience. Dr Shima has changed my life and my posture is much better than before so I highly recommend going there if you have back or neck problems, or chronic posture problems. Also the front desk staff is pretty helpful and responsive.

I absolutely love Way of Life Wellness. I started attending Dr. Shima around a year and a half ago and she has been fantastic. I have a slight curvature in my spine and my pelvis was misaligned. All I can say is that she has magic in her fingers and she has done wonders to help me. She is so friendly, warm and welcoming. As are all the staff. I have also attended Dr. Deanna who is equally wonderful, helpful and friendly. Both Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna have treated my son too and have been incredible with him. He is 11 and loves going for his treatments. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Way of Life Wellness. I feel so lucky to have found them. They are so supportive and the yoga classes are always beautiful!!

I love Shima and Way of Life Network Chiropractic it is not like your normal chiropractor. It is a unique technique and somehow it just works for me and my family. I found her at a low point and stayed with it because I was able to recognize the positive impact it had on my body and my life. If you are at a cross roads and want to try something different give her a try. I have taken my kids since they were born and it helps with their anxiety, stress and rest.

I have been struggling with low back pain and tightness in back for a longtime. With a bulged disk, a tear in another disk and sciatica troubles nothing ever really helped until I started my session with Shima. My body responded and I have been able to return to enjoy things again as my flare ups went from 3 a month to 1 every 3 months within the last year. The Way of Life Wellness is a part of my lifetime wellness now and I am thankful for the knowledge and care I have received from my very first visit. They worked with me, my LNI and then transitioned to my self care wellness to keep my body balanced. Highly recommend Way of Life Wellness Center!

I had a positive experience at Way of Life, specifically seeing Dr. Deanna. After the first few sessions, my lower back and shoulder pain had subsided. As treatment went on, I continued to see positive impact - improved posture, pain relief and overall a more cheery me. I highly recommend Way of Life - Dr. Shima, Dr. Deanna and Hannah are fantastic people and their care speaks for itself.

Review №16

At 24 years old I had no idea my spine played such a vital role in my well-being other than just being an important part of my central nervous system. After just one month of network care, my perception has completely changed. Both Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna have released so much dormant energy that has been stored in my spine that kept me feeling stagnant in life for so long. Physically and mentally I feel like a new person and I am just getting started. Whatever has brought you here, if you’re reading this review, please know that this truly divine work and I 10000% say give it a shot because it’s truly priceless. At this point I tell everyone I know about network care because I feel that it can benefit everyone. Thank you so much Shima, Deanna and the kind receptionists at Way of Life!

Our family LOVES Dr. Shima and Way of Life!! Our daughter (11 yrs old) started coming here 1.5 years ago for anxiety and holding tension in her upper back. Dr. Shima has worked miracles on our daughter for both the emotional and physical tension she carries. Her headaches have stopped and her nervous system is calm and relaxed. The work she does Is incredible and her ability to find areas where the body needs attention without having to say a word, is remarkable! Our daughter feels very connected to Dr. Shima and absolutely loves coming in for treatments. The front office staff are wonderful and kind as well.Coming here was the best decision we could have made, and we are forever grateful to Dr. Shima.

My experience at Way of Life Wellness has been the perfect reprieve from the constant state of change 2020 has brought and the associated mental/physical stress. After every visit I have felt more at ease in my body physically and my head space is always clearer than when I originally laid down on the table. I’ve also noticed my posture improve weekly since starting care a month and a half ago. I’m very grateful to my professional peer, Dr. Deanna, for continuing to take great care of me and for being exactly what my mind and body has needed as a reset from my busy life and this busy world we live in.

After trying a few different chiropractors, I made the decision to give Network a try. I am so happy I did! The results I have achieved under Dr. Deanna Poneman are amazing. I walk out of there refreshed, relaxed, standing straighter and feeling more balanced then I have in years. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming and the care I receive is over the top.

Long time client - near on 20 years. Shimas incredible talent and the network spinal system is light-years beyond status quo chiropractic.

I love Way of Life. After three years (and dozens of doctors) of trying to figure out what was wrong with me they correctly diagnosed the root of my problems and promptly got to work on fixing them. I feel like a new man just a couple of months into treatment. Everyone here is just so extremely nice and they already feel like family. Thank you to Dr. Poneman and Dr. Shima for helping me!

For 9 years Way of Life Wellness has helped me stay injury free. I enjoy high impact sports including dirt bike motorcycle riding; skiing; and trail running. Getting routine adjustments has helped me maintain strong spinal health which sets me up for a balanced core posture. A very gentle, non-invasive technic with profound results. Great for preventative maintenance in my day to day life.

Wonderful staff and exceptional body work. I’ve been coming to Way of Life Wellness for 6 years. I had significant pain in my neck that radiated down my arm from a bad Chiropractic adjustment. I love spinal network care. Dr. Shima’s adjustments helped me recover from my injury quickly. I’ve continued coming for well care and to lift my energy when hectic work, life and travel schedules leave me depleted. Way of Life Wellness is a gem. Especially helpful to offset CV19 funk.

My family of four has found value from the team at Way of Life Wellness Center.My chronic back/neck pain is completely gone and my range of motion has returned. I’m learning self-care, practicing meditation, and stretching throughout the day. All of these things are helping to improve my quality of life.My husband (skeptical of Chiropractic care in general) is amazed at how much more relaxed his body feels. The tension he carries is beginning to soften.My 13 year old is challenged with ADHD. He is beginning to find calmness within, learning the importance of nutrition and understanding the importance of getting quality sleep (which is hard for a teenager to sometimes grasp).My 9 year old fell asleep on the table during her second visit. She is able to deeply relax which is helping her body heal from the multiple bicycle and skateboarding injuries.We’re thankful to have found this wonderful team! I’ll be posting this review on every site possible. Thank you to the people at Way of Life Wellness for making a difference with our family!

There is no forcing the body into movement or adjustment, this is all about balancing and reactivating our body’s own healing system through soft, focused touch. Dr. Deanna is so aware of the body’s energetic and functional systems that she intuitively knows right where to go and how best to aid the body in realigning and healing itself. Network Chiropractic Care has been very beneficial for me and has also helped me become more aware and tuned into my own body. I highly recommend Dr. Deanna and the Way of Life Wellness Center!

Review №37

When I initially started at Way of Life Wellness, it was to experience what I had heard a friend rave about. Deanna and Shima did not disappoint! I had no specific back issues, it was my hope to improve my posture, find my shoulders and neck and generally feel better. Old habits are hard to break, however, the improvement in my posture is noticeable; my shoulders have appeared and it turns out I just have a short neck. Most of all, I just feel better - lighter. Now my husband and kids all see Deanna as well. Highly recommend trying out this alternative chiropractic care!!

Review №38

Instead of quick-fix adjustments experienced at mainstream chiropractic care, Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna are focused on reorganizing your physiological and mental health. There are almost always deeper roots and associations with pain in your body, and these two magicians have helped me considerably in expanding and releasing these areas of trauma I hold in my body, as well as engendering a positive disposition towards these areas. Needless to say, they have fundamentally changed my life in body, mind, relationships, view of self, awareness, and spirit. With utter gratitude, I recommend them if you’re looking for more than a treatment, but a transformation.

Are you a Harry Potter fan? If you are, youll love Way of Life Wellness Center because Dr. Deanna is LITERALLY A WIZARD.Honestly, this woman seems to work magic on me, but in all seriousness, it is Dr. Deannas innate knowledge of the nervous system, and how to listen to what your body needs, and give it all the right gentle encouragement for it to remember how to heal itself, that is the real magic.Ive been a hairstylist for many years, and consequently stand for 10+ hours a day at work, and used to have terrible posture while cutting hair, contorting into odd positions to get the perfect angle. I also suffer from hyper mobility arthralgia, and have an extended range or motion, making it easy for me to slip into bad posture habits.Since Ive been coming here, not only has it helped ease a lot of my pain and stiffness, but when I work I feel like I can communicate better with my own body, and know what the best position REALLY is that will get the job done but not stress my body our even more.I really cant say enough good things about this woman, and the establishment is just as wonderful - kind staff, super clean, and good vibes all around.10/10 all the way!

I have gone in incredibly wound up, and both practitioners have expertly untied my knots with a generative energy along the way. Id recommend anyone to try out an experience here with either doctor.

I cant say enough about what these folks have done for me. It is not your traditional chiropractic office, they practice Network Care which does not include cracking. Their touch is so light that I was skeptical until my back, hips, knee, ankle, and shoulder started feeling better. I only told them about my back, the rest just happened as a result of them putting me back together correctly.

Dr Shima and Dr Deanna are AMAZING. I have always gone to chiropractors, which led me to actually stop wanting to go because I just wouldnt ever see progress. With their care, they actually take starting baseline photos and scans, and then retake those down the road and you can literally SEE the changes. They practice with so much love and care and it works!! Cant recommend them enough!

I have been coming to Way of Life for a few years now and the treatment from both Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna are life changing. I was pretty skeptical at first, but from experience I can say that their type of care works and is transformative in all kinds of ways. When I first got here my life was kind of a mess, but Dr. Shima worked her magic and I not only healed physically but emotionally as well.I met Dr. Deanna a bit later when she joined the practice and she is a perfect compliment to Dr. Shima. She is compassionate and thorough with all of her patients and I love leaving my sessions with her. I cannot say enough good things about both of them.If youre in any kind of pain, physical, emotional, mental, these women have the skill and the heart to get you through it.

I wish I had found this place years ago. The transformation I have experienced in just 6 months is well beyond anything I have experienced in 25 years of chiropractic care. With just a few touches Dr. Shima was able to undo a lifetime of tension I was holding in my shoulders that teams of masseurs were unable to relieve with multiple visits a week. She gave me back my energy and vitality and I feel like a whole new person, breathing easily and happily ready to experience the world. I would have never believed you could undo a lifetime of stress, injuries and bad habits, but Dr. Shima, with all her humility, was able to do that for me. I will be forever grateful.

The treatment by Dr. Shima IS working! I am relieved and thrilled to get back to my usual active lifestyle. After several visits to Orthopedic Specialist, x-rays and an MRI, it was determined that I was suffering a pinched nerve in my neck which caused radiating pain down my arms and impacting my quality of life. I did not want to go the surgery route and was recommended to check out Dr. Shima. Her focus on the spinal network and non-invasive treatment has reduced the pain significantly and now Im able to lift my arms again without a cringe .Also worth sharing, when I arrive the center, I am always greeted by a warm welcome by Hannah and Dr. Shima who Ive noticed has an amazing memory especially for the number of clients she interacts with on a daily basis.

Way of Life offers unique, personalize chiropractic adjustments that cannot be expressed in words - it must be experienced.First, it’s a more holistic form of chiropractic care. There is no hard “cracking” going on, more of gentle adjusting of the spine and neck. It may seem strange at first, but after a few sessions the benefits were obvious to me.I’m a healthy guy with no chronic pain and was looking at network chiropractic for recovery, injury prevention and to boost performance. Way of life delivers all of that and more.Furthermore the office folks are friendly and making appointments are a breeze.

Dr. Shima is a gifted and fantastic healer! I have been seeing her for about seven years, so she is pretty much a fixture in my health routine. When I first started seeing Shima I had been doing cross-fit type of work outs, and my not so young body was getting broken down. Not only did she heal my body with her Network Chiropractic methods, but she recommended other forms of exercise that suited me better. This started me on a path to many new modalities including Pilates, Kundalini Yoga, and a healthier, happier physical, emotional and spiritual well being. I am forever grateful to Shima and her incredible abilities and caring soul. 💖

I had a car accident in February and was referred by my massage therapist to see Dr. Shima for assistance with the pain I was experiencing. Given the COVID-19 issues with businesses closing, therapy was delayed but they quickly got me in when the office opened again. I was able to schedule my assessment and first adjustment. I was skeptical about the soft touch approach; however, I was willing to see how the treatment would benefit me. After my first visit, I began getting relief and my symptoms were improving. I was surprised the next day I could get dressed with minimal low back pain. I still was skeptical but the next day was the same. It was incredible! The journey has been a typical graph of what getting from point A to B really looks like as it’s not a linear direct line but the journey has been progressing with improvement. Every time I walk in I am greeted happily by the Office Manager and Dr. Shima. The energy from those there and Dr. Shima radiates of happiness, relaxation and healing but even moreso with transformation of yourself. I feel rejuvenated, relaxed, energized and hopeful every time I leave. It’s an amazing atmosphere and I’d highly recommend it to anyone! Dr. Shima’s energy is infectious and will lift you up on your journey to transform and heal!

Review №65

This chiropractic method is nothing short of incredible. I was in terrible health 2 months ago when I came to Way of Life. In this short of a time Ive noticed huge improvements in my pain levels and general health. I have tried other chiropractic methods with limited or fleeting success. This is a very different approach. I notice that the pain relief lasts between visits. I really appreciate that there is NO cracking of my neck and back going on. I often felt very anxious and tense with more traditional chiropractic. With this Method, I instead become deeply and fully relaxed even in a short session. The calming and soothing nature of NSA is remarkable and something so many of us need in a hectic and uncertain world. Dr. Shima is kind, responsive, professional and thorough. Dr. Deanna is also wonderful. I love that I get to work with both of them. If you feel hopeless dealing with chronic pain, and you are ready to try something really different, I highly recommend Way of Life Wellness.

I have seen Dr Shima at a few critical moments in my life. She is a healer in the truest sense, with a deeply intuitive ability to hone in (and fast!) on what a person really needs.

This review is long overdue. I absolutely adore Way of Life. Everyone who works there actually cares about you and want whats best for you. It feels incredibly personalized. Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna are fantastic and I know my spine is in the right hands. Some people will put this off as some hippie dippie sort of work that doesnt actually work, but that is not the case at all. NSA (Network Spinal Analysis) is backed by science and research and it works. I find it incredibly difficult to physically relax, but NSA seems to be the only thing that truly relaxes my body. Ive personally reaped the benefits of NSA and I would recommend it to everyone. I especially recommend Way of Life. The only downside I would say is that the insurance billing is a little wonky, but Way of Life has been so good for me, its something that I dont mind as much as I thought it would.

If I had to pick one word that best describes my experience with Way of Wellness, that word would be TRANSFORMATIVE.I wonder if Dr. Shima and Dr. Deanna are wizards or angels? Doesn’t matter really, the end effects for me are the same.You can’t change the past and the future isn’t here yet. You can only take action and resolve to make your life better in the present. If you are even considering it, just make that initial appointment now. IMO you won’t be sorry!A little about me.......I’ve never felt compelled to write a review in my entire life until today. And for me personally, the energy and the hugs at the end are worth the price!

I came to Way of Life with chronic migraines (2-4 a week) and within the first few sessions my pain was cut in half. Now, I’ve been migraine free for almost two months and I have Dr. Deanna and Dr. Shima to thank for that!The care you find at Way of Life is not a traditional “whack and crack” chiropractic work, rather it’s gentle (but powerful) nervous system work. I highly recommend!

Every time that I walk into Way of Life, I feel a calmness coming over me! I have that feeling that everything will be okay. When you lie down on the bed and you hear Shimas gently voice asking you how you have been, you know that you are in good hands. Her positive outlook on life, her extrovert personality, her gently way of touching you, and just the whole experience of being there makes you want to come back every single time.

Shima is an amazing healer who can help you in so many more ways than just with your physical pain. Ive felt more energized, so much less physical pain, more confident in myself, and a wonderful release of pent up frustrations. Seeing Shima has been my single most important self care ritual Ive done for myself for my physical, emotional , and spiritual health.

I have been going to Shima for many years. It’s like returning home as she is like a ray of sunshine and Jessica warmly greets you when you enter. Shima always brings great relief to my aches and pains and centers my soul through breathing and touches. This is not your typical chiropractic adjustment-there is work involved but I often fall asleep as she is doing her thing to relieve my pains. Hard to explain but it works! Love Way of Life!

Beyond scoliosis… two rear end collisions… one where I was sideswiped by a car using the parking metered spaces as a driving lane and ran me into a telephone pole… and fall from the top rung of a ten-foot ladder… there was Dr. Shima and her associates who have been instrumental in healing, and integrating my spine, brain, and nervous system. I have more ease in my body and walk straighter and taller with each visit.In gratitude,Pamela Burke

I wish I had come to this office much sooner than I did because it has made such a change in my physical and emotional health. The energy of the whole office is very calming. Very gentle adjustments. Dr. Shima is so caring, as are each of chiropractors who fill in for her.

Dr. Shima has the magic touch! Im in my late 50s and have spinal issues that need a lot of attention. My quality of life has everything to do with consistent visits to The Way of Life Wellness Center. We all deserve to be our best selves. Dr. Shimas gentle, yet effective adjustments, lay the foundation to make that possible for me. If youre tired of living with pain and discomfort, make an appointment with Dr. Shima. Shell change your life! - Linda M.

I have been seeing Dr. Shima Silber for years. Her expertise with the gentle chiropractic approach called “network care” has literally changed my life. She has helped me live a better more joyful life, as my body has learned to relax and release stuck tension and emotions. The office is lovely, and efficiently run. Great staff. Highly recommend.

Dr. Shima is more than a network chiropractor; she has the interpersonal skills and insights of a magician. I feel so great after learning from her and feel my mind and body have prospered immensely, and continue to. I highly recommend giving Way of Life Wellness a try!

I was thrilled to find an NSA (Network Spinal Analysis) chiropractor when I moved Eastside! Dr. Silber and her team are knowledgable and sincere. Most importantly, chiropractic care with Way of Life Wellness is gentle and effective.

Review №88

I agree with all the reviews here: Dr. Shima is a wonderful person. Almost a magician! I came here seeking relief from neck pain and I have acquired more than relief. I have learn so many tools to not only be better at taking care of my body but also how to find ease, peace, have better relationships, health, diet. I always giggle at the name: Way of Life, because inside I think: This place truly shows you a way of life, a better way. Important to notice is that Dr. Shima has never pushed and idea or a way of being into me, she is so great at moving at your own rhythm and respect full patience and compassion that sometimes makes you cry of how such a thoughtful action can touch you so deeply. I am so happy I found this place!

I have been a client of Shima Silbers for years. She is an expert at Network Care. Both my husband and I have much improved health with her care. She is compassionate, caring and Ive witnessed many miracles of improvement from her gentle touch.

Dr. Shima is like a ray of sunshine on a cold, rainy day. Her warmth and radiance alone make you feel better instantly. Her chiropractic approach is very gentle, yet powerful. The light contacts she makes on the back are gently teaching your body to make the necessary shifts. Nothing is ever forced into place; when the body is ready, it will shift all by itself.I have been seeing Dr. Shima for many years, and she has always been able to help me bring ease and peace into my body, with both my small aches and pains, and larger injuries. I also bring my son in when he has managed to twist himself into a knot on the slopes, or fallen off of high places, or is under pressure at school. Dr. Shima always calms down the pain and brings relief and healing.But even when there is no injury, I love to come in and feel all the tension and stress leave my body once I’m on the table and Dr. Shima works her magic on my spine. And it carries on into my life - I feel much more peace and joy every day. I am so grateful for all the wonderful work she does!

Review №96

I have been going to Shima at Way of Life Wellness for thirteen years.When I first started treatment, I had suffered from severe pain all over from fibromyalgia and I also had back problems. After working with Shima, the pain from fibromyalgia has diminished and is barely here on a daily basis and I only have occasional flares. I could not be happier!Shima has also taught me techniques on how to relieve stress in my spine (and in my life) that I can use on a daily basis. I can now move my body more freely. This has given me the space and focus to work on other health goals such as healthy eating, increasing movement and improving my ability for self-care.I continue working with Shima because it enhances the quality of my life. She has created a great supportive community for healing and learning at the Way of Life Wellness Center for which I am truly grateful.

Its been said in the other reviews, but Dr. Shima is all I could have hoped for in a chiropractor. She always provides expert care and fantastic advice for my health and wellness. If youre looking for a natural, gentle and warm environment for either preventive care or injury/pain relief look no further. I highly recommend Way of Life and will continue to go there for the years to come.

I have taken Network Chiropractic since November of 1991. One learns, when experiencing this remarkable technique, that having a variety of chiropractors who are trained in Network actually benefits your health! Twice I have been adjusted by Donald Epstein, the founder of Network, himself. But I have to admit, that of the dozens (not an exaggeration) of chiropractors who have worked on my body, Shima, along with the gentleman who introduced me to Network, is my favorite.As fine as Network is for your body, I find it even more excellent for your MIND. Without it, I would never have gotten married, I would not be the father to three fine children, and, as a long-time animation artist, I would have been hunched over like E.T. As it is, I stand and walk as erect as a soldier without any strain.An adjustment from Shima ALWAYS increases your sense of well-being. If you dont believe me, I dont care. Take up Network Chiropractic with her, and you will not regret it.Ko Hashiguchi

After several years of seeking relief through traditional medicine for neck, shoulder and lower back pain without success, a series of unrelated circumstances led me to Dr. Shima’s office. Today, I consider it my divine intervention. A car accident, too many hours hunkered over a computer for work and a slip and fall off my deck – all contributing factors to my extended painful journey. Dr. Shima is a guide who treats the whole person and has helped me to realize the potential my body has to heal itself. Through a treatment of strategically placed gentle touches and thoughtful suggestions for how I can help myself, I am finding relief and hope for the future that I did not with traditional medicine. Dr. Shima is a blessing!

After receiving other forms of chiropractic and body work for scoliosis and general life stress for many years, I began seeing Dr. Shima at Way of Life Wellness about four years ago. Dr. Shimas care has been life transforming. The neck and lower back pain and muscle spasms that used to plague me regularly are a thing of the past, my posture and alignment are better, and recovery from stress or overuse is much quicker.Her adjustments are gentle touches, relaxing to the point of sometimes drifting off to sleep during them. At the same time, they are highly effective and have made lasting improvements in the health of my spine and central nervous system. I continue to see her weekly as preventative care and as a wonderful, nurturing gift to myself. Dr. Shima provides expert care for both the physical body and the mind/body connection and is an intuitive and caring healer. I’m grateful to have found Dr. Shima and recommend her highly.
