Dr. Shahla Bastar Expands Integrative Acupuncture Services in Newton, MA

 Board-certified acupuncturist brings holistic, evidence-based care to support wellness and pain management

Newton Integrative Health Center is delighted to welcome Shahla Bastar, DACM, DAOM, Lic.Ac., to its team of holistic care providers. With advanced doctoral-level training in acupuncture and Oriental medicine, Shahla offers personalized, healing-focused interventions for individuals seeking natural solutions for pain relief, stress reduction, and overall well-being.

Shahla earned her Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) and holds licensure as an acupuncturist in Massachusetts. She specializes in treating musculoskeletal pain, digestive concerns, stress-related disorders, menopausal symptoms, and anxiety using acupuncture, herbal formulations, cupping, and moxibustion via an integrative, patient-centered care model.

At Newton Integrative Health Center, Shahla is recognized for her empathetic presence, meticulous patient assessments, and customized treatment plans. She begins with a comprehensive intake—evaluating pulse, tongue, and lifestyle—and collaborates closely with each patient to develop wellness plans that may include weekly acupuncture treatments, herbal guidance, dietary adjustments, and self-care techniques.

Beyond clinical care, Shahla brings a strong commitment to community education and self-care empowerment. She plans to lead workshops on topics such as stress reduction, women’s health, and natural pain management while forming partnerships with local yoga studios, wellness centers, and community organizations to extend access to integrative care.

Looking ahead, Shahla plans to expand group acupuncture sessions, introduce virtual wellness check-ins, and launch seasonal health programs supporting digestive balance and immune resilience. Her approach aligns with Newton Integrative Health Center’s mission to offer accessible, compassionate, and holistic healthcare that nurtures the whole person.
