Keri Shaw at Blue Pearl Acupuncture is incredible. I came to Keri with nagging back and hip pain that had been hanging around for way too long. From my first session, I could tell she was the real deal--super knowledgeable, deeply intuitive, and genuinely invested in helping me feel better. What sets Keri apart is the way she listens and really gets to the root of what's going on--not just physically, but emotionally and energetically too. Her treatments have brought me serious relief, and I always leave feeling more grounded, more mobile, and just better all around. Her space at Blue Pearl Acupuncture is calm and welcoming, and every session feels like a reset. I trust her completely and honestly can't recommend her highly enough. If you're dealing with pain, stress, or just need to rebalance, go see Keri. You'll be glad you did. read more

Easy to communicate with, knowledgable, and effective. I have had acupuncture off and on for years in other parts of the US with mixed (though nice, and relaxing) direct results on acute injuries. I had come to view it as a type of medicine that works subtly. Recently, after a fall flared up an old injury, I was feeling pretty bad -- pain, hip locked up, piriformis syndrome suspected, whole bunch of nonsense. I thought "well, it can't get much worse!" and scheduled an initial acupuncture appointment. Three days after the treatment (which included cupping), my hip was moving completely differently, and a week later I was still processing the difference. I wouldn't describe myself as skeptical, I just normally don't have that noticeable an impact after a single session, so this was pretty awesome. Will definitely be back; relieved to have found someone good in Seattle [& without a lot of trial-and-error]. read more

It can be rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their clients' wellbeing, but you'll find this with Keri. Keri is one of the best humans you'll meet, and makes you feel comfortable and valued on top of being an expert in her field. She's a clear communicator, ethical and efficient. I'm always newly impressed by how much pain relief I experience after treatments for my neck and back pain, and I've continued to see her over the past few years because of how helpful this has been to my life when pain is impacting me. I remember reading a review for her business when originally looking for providers talking about how this person moved out of Seattle but still tries to see Keri for treatment when visiting (which left an impression). After moving, I drive an hour into Seattle to continue to receive treatment with Keri, so I now understand. Worth it! read more

Keri is amazing. I hadn't had good acupuncture experiences in the past but wanted to give it another try as I had sudden and chronic migraines after never having them before in my life. While I haven't had answers from many different medical docs, my time on Keri's table have given me some relief and relaxation. She has also done great things for my neck tension. Extra bonus for her sweet pug stories. read more

Keri is the BEST! I've been seeing Keri for years and regardless of what ailment I come to her with (digestive issues, sinuses/allergies and more) she is patient to listen and has an herb and/or acupuncture treatment to help! She's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and fun to talk to! Highly recommend going to see her- you'll be in great hands and well cared for! read more

Keri is a gifted healer and very committed to her clients. She uses a combination of needles and cupping in her treatments. Her treatments have helped me reduce pain and tension in my neck and back and provided some relief for my insomnia. I really appreciate that Keri will try to fit you into her schedule if you need an emergency appointment. Her office is conveniently located. read more

Keri is an amazing acupuncturist who's produced more results for me in one session than any acupuncturist, MD, physical therapist etc has in seven years to treat a chronic hip/shoulder problem. Her treatment was painless, easy, fast, and really fun because of how easy to talk to she is! Her prices are extremely affordable and the location convenient near Lake Union. I highly recommend Keri's practice! read more

I had the most horrific migraine that lasted 7+days when I came in and I was so thankful that I was able to schedule a same day appointment. Prescription medication was not working and I was desperate for relief and to get my life back. Through a mixture of accupunture and massage therapy the migraine went away and I'm so thankful for Keri for helping me. read more

I've received some of the best care in my life from Keri. Her expertise in herbs and acupuncture is masterful, wise, and balanced.

I've been going here for forever so it is high time I yelped about it.

Blue Pearl acupuncture keeps me from getting migraines! I would definitely recommend!

Keri is outstanding - a true healer. I'm so happy I found her and highly recommend her.

Blue Pearl was an amazing experience for me! I was 9 months pregnant when I became a client and always felt comfortable and at ease. I also appreciate the pager button that is provided Incase you need anything in the down time! I've had friends who don't receive this pager at other places and have panic attacks, this made me feel super secure! Thanks for your thought fullness and skill! read more

Keri is a great acupuncturist. She identified my symptoms and started treating them right away. Within 3 sessions all my alignments were gone, and the biweekly routine kept me in check. I highly recommend acupuncture in general and having it done by Keri in particular. read more

Love my accupuncture and cupping services with Keri! I go once a month and always leave feeling relaxed and revItalized.

I have been visiting Blue Pearl Acupuncture for treatment for more than 7 years now. I can't overstate how beneficial Keri's treatments have been to me and how wonderful her dealings with her patients are. I first went to her when I felt debilitating pain in my sciatica and had trouble getting up/walking without pain. Acupuncture helped me recover and able to lead an active and athletic lifestyle. Keri is very warm and very professional. She is extremely qualified and her work is a gift to her patients. She is extremely dependable and I have never had a single bad experience with her in the 7+ years that I have been a patient with her. read more

Keri was a lifesaver, helping a weary business traveller, suffering from a mixture of a cold and deep fatigue. She fit me in last minute, and I walked out new after 45 minutes in her waterside treatment room, with herbs to help maintain healthy stay during the next 8 days of the trip. So glad to have been treated by Keri, and know her local patients are so lucky to be in her regular care. read more

Was rehabbing from a shoulder injury and went to see Kari on a recommendation from a friend. She was excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. Kari listened to my problem, explain her approach, and was in communication with me throughout my treatment sessions to ensure I was doing ok. As this was my first time with acupuncture, and was doing electroacupuncture treatments, her care and concern for my comfort was critical for me to get the most from the treatments. After the first session I already saw a reduction in pain. After 6 sessions - and dedicated PT exercises - my shoulder was back to normal. Cannot say enough good things about Kari and her talents and would include her expertise as part of any future rehab regiment. read more

I have known Keri Shaw at Blue Pearl Acupuncture Clinic for years. I first met her when she treated me for injuries related to a car accident. Although I was afraid of needles, she walked me through and did everything she could to ease my anxiety. Her acupuncture treatments were gentle and effective and helped me heal much quicker as it was a great accompaniment to the other treatment modalities I was using at the time. I am also a personal injury lawyer representing those hurt in car accidents. I regularly recommend Keri to my car accident clients as I know firsthand how effective and great she is. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! read more

I found Keri through Yelp and the helpful reviews posted here. I had a severe ankle injury from soccer that I was going through Physical Therapy to help my recovery. However, having Type 1 Diabetes, I was running into problems reducing the swelling around the ankle joint. My PT Trainer recommended to couple PT with acupuncture and I was fortunate to have found Keri and her practice. What makes Keri stand out is her understanding of the practice as well as her willingness to work with the trainer to develop a plan to help my ankle recover. I had been in PT for two months prior to seeing Keri, but after the first session the swelling subsided significantly. It was a jaw dropping experience for someone who has been surrounded by western medicine for 20+ years as a diabetic. Keri understood the risks with treating the ankle itself (because of diabetic circulation issues and potential to introduce additional problems) so she looked for ways to treat that area via focusing on other parts of the body that are the mirror. She connected with my PT frequently and we combined exercises with acupuncture therapy. Keri was professional throughout the time I worked with her to get me back up and working. Within two weeks of coupling Keri's practice with PT I was able to regain full range of motion, and shortly thereafter I was able to start jogging again! I highly recommend Keri and will continue to use her services into the future. read more

Keri Shaw is amazing! I really like Keri and I wish I could hang out with her outside of acupuncture! She is so nice and friendly and makes me feel really comfortable. Somehow I fall asleep every time she puts needles in me. read more

I had a great experience at Blue Pearl Acupuncture. Keri is absolutely amazing, caring and wonderful acupuncturist. I would highly recommend her. read more

Keri Shaw with Blue Pearl Acupuncture is amazing! She is very thorough and explains everything about your treatment. This was my first experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine. I decided to try acupuncture because I was living with constant muscular pain (averaging 6-7 on the pain scale). After my first treatment the pain had decreased 90%. Following the treatment my body was able to relax. That evening I went through my normal stretching routine and was amazed by the pliability of the muscles. Joints that had been restricted for twenty years were now opening! The next week I went in for a Chinese Medicine consultation. Keri and I had an in depth conversation about my symptoms, I was not able to eat and digest my food. After she checked my tongue and pulse she explained that I have a Spleen Qi deficiency with damp heat. The Spleen Qi turns food into usable units of energy and blood. She made my Chinese medicine from scratch and prescribed drinking it as a tea twice a day. Six year prior this problem started. I went to multiple doctors, specialist, naturopaths and nothing helped. I had lost hope of ever having a "normal" life until I met Keri. She has helped me reclaim my life and I can eat again! I have since recommended her to everyone that crosses my path. Just the other day, I went into see Keri for a follow up and I was experiencing a severe headache and nausea. She put four acupuncture needles in for about 15 minutes and my symptoms were gone! I have never experienced anything this effective. No matter what state your body is in Keri Shaw at Blue Pearl Acupuncture can help! read more

Keri @ Blue Pearl Acupuncture has saved me! In more ways than one... The most recent experience I had was the herbs that she prescribed for me. I had a canker sore outbreak in my mouth. I can't even begin to describe to you how severe those sores were. I couldn't eat or drink without completely numbing my mouth. I couldn't even talk. The sores were on my tongue and all over the inside lining of my mouth. I saw my dentist first, and then a MD. They were unable to help me. I was informed that there is no 'cure' for canker sores and I would have to wait for them to heal. Why didn't I think to go see my acupuncturist?? She told me she could help, and she did. Within 3 days of taking my prescribed herbs from Keri, my mouth healed up. When I forgot to take my herbs, they slowly came back. So I know it was the herbs that helped me. I'm completely healed now, thanks to Blue Pearl Acupuncture. On a side note, I have seen Keri for the past year for multiple reasons. She has helped me with anxiety, depression, menstrual cramping/pain, etc. The list goes on! I take herbs daily and I also receive Acupuncture treatment once a week. Alternative medicine is life changing!! Thank you, Keri! read more

I have been seeing Keri since around 2010 and I swear by Acupuncture and Cupping to relieve my weekly stress! There's plenty of parking and the lake view adds to the calming of Blue Pearl's office. Soft music plays and teas from around the world are available at your disposal. Keri even sends me home with unique herbal mixes to intake to help invigorate my blocked channels. Especially if I had a tough workout with my crew team during that week. If I had not met Keri, I would be in really bad shape after surviving two major automobile accidents! I wholly recommend Blue Pearl Acupuncture Clinic! Thank you keri! read more

I have been seeing Kari Shaw about four years. She has helped me stay healthy and vibrant. Kari is a pro and knows her craft. Clinic is clean, comfortable and great parking. I strongly recommend Kari. Cheers Jack read more

Keri is amazing. I was lucky enough to come across her giving quick sessions at South Lake Union Women, Wine and Wellness. I was always afraid of acupuncture, but I thought I'd try it. I've had bad jaw pain for over 10 years. I grind my teeth nightly and get extreme tightness from stress. I've tried it all, PT, medication and even massage. Acupuncture has proved to be the only way to maintain a low level of pain in my jaw. Keri has also treated me for anxiety and stress. The benefits are immediate. Keri is an extremely knowledgeable practitioner with an amazing ability to create a meaningful relationship with her patients. I am sadly moving out of state and will miss her very much. I will still contact her when I need herbs. I can't recommend her enough!!! read more

I have worked with Keri for several years now. I have a chiropractic clinic in the same neighborhood. I've referred her many patients (including my wife) for a variety of different conditions - and I have only received great feedback from those patients. She is caring, professional and helps people truly understand acupuncture and Chinese medicine. If you have any medical issues that aren't responding well to the Western approach then you should sit down with her immediately! read more

I came to Keri based on a referral from my Chiro. I didn't have anything particularly pressing or any issues that I thought of, but was curious about Acupuncture, and found out my insurance covered 12 visits per year, so I thought I would go check it out. All the reviews are spot on - Keri is absolutely fantastic. She put me totally at ease, and spent a substantial amount of time answering my questions the first time I met her. She's light hearted and fun, and does a great job of helping you understand the process of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. ALthough I didn't think I really needed acupuncture for anything, I mentioned that I had always been frustrated by my bad skin. I'm 28 and have had acne since puberty off and on. Keri informed me without hesitation that she could clear that right up - something that no doc, dermatologist, face wash, voodoo dances, etc. has ever accomplished. Sure enough, after a very thorough analysis of my lifestyle, diet, exercise, general mood and energy, she helped make some very minimal changes to my diet (Seeya, Dairy) as well as a custom mix of herbal tea to drink every day. Three weeks later - I haven't had skin this clear since I was 9 years old. Highly reccomended - go see her, whether Acupuncture is old hat for you or you're just curious about what it's all about. She's fantastic. read more

Keri at Blue Pearl Acupuncture is absolutely tremendous at getting to the root of your problems, and taking care of them!

Keri Shaw is an amazing practitioner. She is very professional, yet creates a fun and caring experience for you. Her office is situated on Lake Union with a beautiful view of the water from each treatment room... talk about relaxing!!! I have had low back pain and knee pain for a long time and she has truly helped me with both of these issues. In my last treatment with her, my knee was swollen and painful due to a few rehab sessions where I over did it. After seeing Keri, the swelling in my knee was gone. In addition, when I leave a session with her, I feel extremely well rested, like she hit my hit my body's reboot button and I am ready to deal with the world again. Keri is very thorough, explains what she is doing through the entire process so that you feel confident and comfortable during your treatments. She is an extremely good listener and she tells it like it is but with a really good bedside manner. It is very obvious that she cares about her patients. Keri Shaw knows her stuff. read more

I experienced a severe case of psoriasis over 75% of my body in the last year. Working with Keri and following her dietary recommendations as well as consistently taking the Chinese herbs she gave me weekly has reversed the outbreak and provided me great relief and hope. My skin is totally clear in some places and improving all over my body. She also recommended Red Light treatment and continuing with the Abascal Way diet which I am doing as well but without her herbal treatment, I wouldn't be as psoriasis free as I am today! Thank you, Keri for your compassionate and thoughtful treatment. read more
