WHY
ACUPUNCTURE?
Shelly Buse, L.Ac.
In 1965 my family came to Wimberley for the first time. Having fallen in love with this beautiful valley, my parents eventually bought a vacation home here. They finally retired here in the 80's. After my many travels, I also chose Wimberley as my home, leaving only to go to Austin to attend Acupuncture school.
I have been practicing in the Wimberley Valley for nine years and am devoted to my community and my patients.
