“
I've been working with Natalie on and off for the past 5 years. Through my various injuries (shoulder, neck, knee), her acupuncture has helped me recover quickly and get back to the activities I love. Her knowledge of anatomy is impressive and she finds ways to trigger healing painlessly.

I was initially skeptical of acupuncture, but after working with Natalie, I've recommended many friends and family to her. I know she can help many people get back to their desired level of activity.

“
I came to Natalie at the my lowest. I was thrown 3 meters from my bike when I was t-boned by a car. The impact broke my helmet in half and resulted in a concussion that left me severely impaired. I spent my days staring at my ceiling unable to exercise, read, watch movies or socialize. It wasn't until I came to Natalie that I began to see significant relief; every session made me feel more and more clear headed. It has been a year since the accident and I still continue to see Natalie to help keep things in check. I am very thankful for everything she has done for me.
