Dr. Amie Shimmel Handa’s goal in life has always been to help people with their health. She loves people and knows how to help turn around someone’s health so they can feel good again. She treats all her patients the way she would like to be treated. One of her mantras is “It’s never too late to have your ideal health”.
Dr. Shimmel uses her 34 years of practice experience, 11 years of postgraduate education, and intuitive guidance to help you achieve your best health. She does this through Acupuncture, which is Powerful Energy Medicine.
Acupuncture works wonders for improving the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process. Acupuncture can reduce inflammation in the body and relieve pain. It can also improve sleep, digestion, fertility, and emotional well-being.
Gentle Chiropractic
Dr. Amie Shimmel Handa has been providing quality, gentle, and effective chiropractic health for years. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, the gentle chiropractic care by Dr. Amie Shimmel emphasizes the importance of improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Given that option, most people would prefer to be healthy and avoid illness if possible. Chiropractic care can help people achieve their health and wellness goals.

I have been seeing Dr. Amie for many years on a regular basis until life it difficult for me to continue. My last visit was in October 2022, and I realized that I needed to do whatever I had to do to return. I was tired, sluggish, stressed etc. I returned last week and it was like I never missed an appointment. I received both chiropractic and acupuncture services. Immediately afterwards I felt renewed. Dr Amie is skilled and understands the human body extensively. She takes her time and explains everything to the patient. I was initially nervous when I first decided to try acupuncture. Best decision I could have ever made in the healing process of my body. I appreciate Dr Amie and the personal care she provides.
Amie is a caring, talented, knowledgeable acupuncturist and chiropractor who I have been seeing for years. She ensures her clients understand the treatments she is using during each session, and why she is using them. Her office is a quiet, safe sanctuary for healing and serenity. She is a compassionate healer who has created a relaxing space to rejuvenate and re-balance. I highly recommend her services.
I have visited Dr. Shimmel regarding an issue that affected my ability to walk. She has significantly contributed to my overall well-being assisting my body's ability to heal naturally. I believe the body can heal itself with the assistance of alternative medicine and acupuncture has been immensely effective in balancing my vital energy to promote my healing process.Currently, I am walking without the use of a wheelchair and am currently using a cane for stability purposes. I contribute part of my recovery to the acupuncture sessions I have had with Dr. Shimmel, where she has restored my Qi flow through the meridians and or pathways necessary to aid my body to heal and regenerate connections.I am immensely thankful to Dr. Shimmel for her vast knowledge of Acupuncture therapy, her professionalism, and her beautiful spirit’s desire to heal and look forward to my continued visits.
I have been a client of Dr.Amie for over 10+ years. I have to tell you she has changed my life and one of the most positive and enjoyable experiences. It’s a real treat! She is a very talented healer. I have a very bad neck and she has really has helped me. I also get acupuncture and was not a believer at first…but now at the end of my fabulous session, I’m great…the next day I feel like a million bucks! It’s all due to Dr. Amie’s knowledge and expertise! She’s the best and I highly recommend her.
Dr. Amie is lovely! I feel like she listens to me and accepts whatever is going on with me. Her new space is so pleasant!! Each acupuncture session helps me get more connected to my body and provides some very much needed relaxation.
Enjoyable, personalized & relaxing care! I first began acupuncture treatments with Dr. Shimmel when I was pregnant and needed both acupuncture therapy & chiropractic work. Not only did she help alliviate the pain I was experiencing, but she created a very comfortable and relaxing environment, as well as took the time to get to know the root cause of my pain. She is always giving me thoughtful reminders to take a moment from my busy day for myself to relax, take a deep breath & keep by body and spirit healthy. Sometimes because of my hectic schedule, I need to move my appointments around and she is always flexible and no stress. I appreciate the work she does, the environment she creates & the energy she passes on to me. Top notch & highly recommend!
