CANCELLATION & TARDY POLICY:

We know things come up sometimes, and appreciate if you can let us know as soon as possible by phone or email!

By booking on our website you agree to the following: Appointments cancelled with less than 24hrs notice may be charged a late fee of 70% of the cost of your appointment. This fee will be invoiced and charged to your account using the card on file. Late cancellations create holes in a practitioners’ schedule that are sometimes too hard to fill, and impact the clinic sustainability. We thank you for your cooperation & adherance to this policy.

If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment it is considered a no show since we cannot usually accomodate lateness. Your appointment will be cancelled and you will be charged a cancellation/no show fee.

Please text, call or email if you have any questions!

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a method of supporting the body and mind systems in their own natural healing processes. Thin, sterile, disposable acupuncture needles will be inserted into specific areas of the body in order to promote a desired effect. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These bioch... Read More

Acupuncture is a method of supporting the body and mind systems in their own natural healing processes. Thin, sterile, disposable acupuncture needles will be inserted into specific areas of the body in order to promote a desired effect. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.


Cupping

Traditional Chinese medicine is thousands of years old and has changed little over the centuries. Its basic concept is that a vital force of life, called Qi, surges through the body. Any imbalance to Qi can cause issues throughout the body. This imbalance is most commonly thought to be caused by an alteration in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the Qi called yin and yang. Tre... Read More

Traditional Chinese medicine is thousands of years old and has changed little over the centuries. Its basic concept is that a vital force of life, called Qi, surges through the body. Any imbalance to Qi can cause issues throughout the body. This imbalance is most commonly thought to be caused by an alteration in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the Qi called yin and yang. Treatment to regain balance may include acupuncture, moxa, cupping, herbal remedies, concentration or movement exercises and massage.


Bodywork

Tuina (pronounced twee-nah) is not generally used for pleasure and relaxation, but rather as a treatment to address specific patterns of disharmony in the body. This treatment may improve blood circulation, reduce pain in the body and ease symptoms of chronic conditions.

Rebecca Shatles received her Masters of Acupuncture from the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture (ITEA) in Louisville, CO in 2008. She is a Diplomate of Acupuncture as certified by the NCCAOM and licensed in the state of Utah. At ITEA Beck focused on the study of Five-Element Acupuncture as taught by JR Worsley’s direct lineage. Beck’s interest in woking with an active population lead her to complete a post graduate apprenticeship in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of orthopedic injuries and pain. Beck received her Bachelor of Arts from The University of Vermont.

Beck is also a  AOBTA certified therapist in Integrated Nutrition and Asian Healing Arts. She has studied various forms of bodywork since 2002 and maintains a Utah massage therapy license. In 2019 she dove more deeply into the study of Anusara Yoga completing a 200 hour teacher training. This style of yoga draws on her interest in functional movement, postural assessment and its incorporation into the design of supportive acupuncture treatments.

Beck strives to facilitate the highest level of health and well-being in her clients. She takes a holistic approach to health care incorporating acupuncture, nutrition, cupping, bodywork and lifestyle recommendations. Her unique mix of treatment styles allows her to address the whole person: body, mind and spirit. She likes to say her goals in treatment are to keep the spirits lifted and the body moving.

Beck views the practitioner-client relationship as a partnership. Every client is treated as an individual, whose concerns, needs and goals are continually readdressed. Her desire as a practitioner is to facilitate healing and help each individual reach his or her full potential. She enjoys working with athletes of all ages and ability, anyone dealing with pain that limits their day to day activities and those struggling with depression and anxiety.

Originally from New York, Beck has spent most of her adult life in the mountains. She is an avid skier, cyclist and surfer and loves to travel. Beck ran her own practice in Utah for fifteen years. Wanting to give up administrative duties to focus more on patient care and spend more time with friends and family she joined Valenti Acupuncture in 2024. She is thrilled to be part of this nurturing community of healers.
