Health is a manifestation of balance, expressed in both our internal environment as well as the external environment in which we live. When there is balance, harmony exists and provides a smooth flow of energy "qi" ("chee") which serves to nurture and nourish all organs and tissues, but in this world of extremes this balance is sometimes disrupted. It is our job to coerce the body towards this balance, and this is done by stimulating our own natural ability to heal. It is your body that does the work, I am here to provide the nudge in the proper direction.

It has been fantastic, I've started with my feet, it was hard to walk on my feet so many hours. In October was diagnosed with stage 3b Colon Cancer!! I've had surgery and now walking the lines of 6 months of Chemo! I do acupuncture every week and herbs everyday!!! With God's Grace and Acupuncture I'm not sick, my numbers are great!! If you have aches and pains you need to visit Natalie!!! I recommend you coming and trying it out you be amazed how you feel after!!! Good Luck on the New House!!!! -Tina R.
I've known her for 10+ years. I was in a bad car wreck 5+ years ago and had to be airlifted. From that wreck triggered bad migraines. She recommended acupuncture. It has helped me tremendously to where I don't need my prescription meds hardly at all. Plus, I have her do my tailbone and my ankle. I twisted my ankle REALLY BAD and have had some tailbone issues for years. I would recommend Natalie in a heartbeat, plus I keep her business cards in my wallet. I've even handed some out to customers of mine when I worked for Aldi. -Amanda G.
I have known Natalie for a million years, and she is my go-to expert on all things holistic. Her caring nature, along with her advice and expertise has helped my family and I in matters of a healthy body and mind. smile emoticon!!! -Valbona R.
Cant be more happier about my treatment! I feel 10 years younger... Peter P.
A most essential experience and Natalie is so intuitive and compassionate in her response to pain or whatever it is that causes your discomfort.
What a healing modality to use in addition to the many of practices available to us.
Natalie won't say this herself but she is a beautiful and inspirational young woman and she has found her purpose in the world by simple healing.
We can all use energy and certainly more compassion and wellbeing. Thank you Natalie~ Namaste' -Sandra L.
