To my current and prospective patients,
I want to introduce you to my colleague, Xin Xia, Licensed Acupuncturist. She is very familiar with the Balance Method of my favorite mentor, Dr. Richard Tan. Xin is certified in Sport Medicine Acupuncture and has studied auricular acupuncture with my other mentor, Rafael Nogier. Her husband, Yong Tao is an herbalist with 40+ years of family heritage in Chinese Medicine, martial arts and other ancient Chinese healing arts. Together they are ready to take care of you and carry on the tradition of outstanding patient care here at the clinic.
My last day for treating patients is September 13, 2019. I will be able to meet you in person until October 1, 2019; after this date Xin Xia will have full custody of all medical records related to my former practice.

I am Bruno Perreau, a professor at MIT. I first saw Natalie Miner three years ago when I was on a fellowship at Stanford. I had migraines every week. After five weeks of acupuncture, I was free from migraines for six months. Unfortunately, I had to move back to the East coast, but every time I visit the Bay Area I make an appointment with her. Her knowledge of the body extends beyond acupuncture: she addresses muscle tensions, inflammation, and emotional stress by correcting posture, and understanding the person as a whole. Since I moved a lot in my life, I saw dozens of acupuncturists. None of them had Natalie Miner's competence. I recommend her in the highest possible way.

Natalie was a tremendous health care provider and educator to get me to a new and improved state of health. I am a physician and I appreciate her depth of knowledge and experience. She helped me identify my problems, their causes and come up with treatment for symptom relief as well as an ongoing care plan for maintenance. I had a bothersome sciatica that was not aided by conventional medical options. Natalie's treatment and education helped me in 3 weeks move past 4 years of nagging pain. I am not pain free but I am empowered and so improved that I have a new perspective on my posture, my body's need for relaxation and my choice of movement. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Natalie!!!!

There are many really good health care professionals bu only a few are true healers. Natalie is a healer. She uses her knowledge mixed with deep insight to focus on what is out of balance in the body. She then uses her skills to heal. I recommend to everyone who has medical and body issues to see her.

I have lived in three cities and have used acupuncture for pain management due to injury, as well as tendonities/'carpal tunnel'. In my experience, acupuncturists who have trained with Mark Callison are the most effective. Natalie is a perfect example of this - she brings a highly informed knowledge of anatomy to her practice, combining a needle-oriented practice with recommended stretches and exercises in a practical manner. I find her to be extremely effective and highly recommend her. My recent issues are around sitting too much (car/office) creating imbalance and shooting pain in legs/lower back. She has alleviated the pain quickly (2 visits) and recommended specific stretches that are excellent at countering the problem.

Natalie is amazing health practitioner. Her wholistic approach is extremely effective. I was able to get amazing and lasting pain relief results in just 3 visits. In all my years of receiving acupuncture I have never experienced results this quickly. Her rates are competitive but the results are fabulous which make her services a bargan.

Natalie quickly helped me out of a terrible chronic pain situation. My pain had spread over many years from my head to the middle of my back and shoulders and seemed complicated to understand. After physical therapy, saline injections, prescription medication and previous acupuncture treatments failed to help I tried acupuncture with Natalie. She understands the musculoskeletal system very well and was able to unwind my pain, my muscles spams and correct my posture. Muscles spams can pull on our bones and throw us out of alignment causing lot of chronic problems if left unaddressed. My headaches disappeared after 2 or 3 sessions. My neck muscle pain and nerve pain has reduced by abut 50% in only 5 sessions. My shoulders are sitting more evenly. I have more awareness of my posture and what created these problems to begin with. Natalie has restored my hope in the healing process once again and I look forward to having my body back soon with her help!

Natalie's treatment helped me to get back to playing table tennis. I tried other treatments including other acupuncture but it didn't help. Only Natalie helped me.

Natalie is a gifted acupuncturist and has an exceptional understanding of the human body and its mechanics. I have witnessed great results, after months of discomfort and frustration, under her therapy. The overall experience is so positive and she teaches you how to be an active participant in your healing. I am off all medicines- thank you Natalie!

Natalie Miner is a miracle worker. For 4 years I have suffered from extreme tension of muscles around my rib cage, shoulders, neck, and diaphragm. This tension has resulted in constricted breathing and pain. In addition to the physical stress, my constricted breathing has also caused chronic anxiety that has affected both my professional and personal life. I came to Natalie at the suggestion of a family member, and was originally very skeptical. She gave me a test run of her services which included a few needles and a stress relief massage. After feeling the effects, I immediately signed up for 4 full sessions. I just finished my last one, and can happily say that I have fully recovered from the problems that I was dealing with for the past few years! The tension in my muscles is gone, and I can finally breathe again. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with issues similar to those that I had.

She is very knowledgeable, has a great demeanor and most importantly the treatment is really working for me.

My hip bursitis pain has been relieved after a couple of month's treatment. This compares to my visits to an MD who could only provide cortisone shots which are effective for 2 months before the pain returns.

Natalie accomplished more in one session with my shoulder than the sports medicine doctor did in 9 months. I've already recommended her to my friends and family should they ever need an acupuncturist who performs miracles.

Natalie has been wonderful to me. She knows everything that goes on with my body. I feel amazing after I see her. Her knowledge of both eastern and western practices help give her clients the best care possible. She's a great acupuncturist... intuitive, lovely, and trustworthy. I highly, highly recommend her to anyone.

I was referred to Natalie Miner via my business group. First of all, her office is well-located and easy to find off San Antonio Rd. Her facility is exceptional, clean and uncluttered, an indication of her organization. My initial exam with her was very thorough and complete. I felt that she really grasped and understood the nature of my condition involving three areas of my spine. I was not in intense pain but nagging discomfort from the last three months. Next, she proceeded to treat my symptoms with appropriate acupressure, massage and needle placement. At no time did I feel uncomfortable and she always questioned me regarding my comfort. At the conclusion of the session, she spent extra time instructing me on exercises and walking. I must admit that I am feeling better. I cannot emphasize enough that if one is seeking acupuncture therapy, Natalie Miner should be first and foremost because of her knowledge and care. You will be most satisfied.

With all honesty, Natalie Miner has been great to me. She knows everything that goes on with my body and with one touch I feel amazing. All my pain and discomfort goes away. I will always go see her even if there's nothing wrong me. She's the best acupuncturist and best healer ever. I am one of her many babies and I highly recommend her to anyone.

I recently had extensive oral surgery. The speculum used to keep my mouth open caused a good deal of swelling and bruising on my face. I had enormous cheeks, a blue/purple beard and mustache of substantial bruises and two black eyes. I used ice to help with the swelling; however, I was disfigured none-the-less. The doctor said it would be a good week to ten days for the swelling and bruising to diminish. I looked so frightful that I was virtually housebound.
I went to Natalie for some acupuncture to help with the internal swelling. Natalie also used an infrared wand on my face and followed up with a spray that stained my face yellow. She said to keep it on for the full day. I went home to wait it out.
The next morning it was miraculous!
The swelling and bruising on the entire right side of my face were gone.
The hard deep purple bruise down my laugh line on the left side was diminished by 50%. By the following day, I looked mostly healthy! The doctor said that after the bruising faded, I would have a yellow pallor, but there was not a trace of it. The stain from the spray washed off, and I looked like me again!
Natalie has treated me for many things over the last four years. However, this is perhaps the most dramatic instance of her skill as a healer.
Thanks, Natalie, for keeping me feeling good, and looking even better!

I have seen Natalie for my back, shin, Achilles tendons and knee pain. She has helped minimize the pain with acupuncture and provided instruction and exercises to correct my posture and stride. I highly recommend her for any acupuncture treatments. She is always cheerful and concerned with your well being.

I had a spur on my right shoulder and went to physical therapy for many weeks and that did not help at all. Then I decided to try acupuncture and found Natalie and started going to her. I love playing golf and had to stop because of the pain, I couldn't brush my hair or teeth. After a few weeks of Natalie's needles and hands I could start feeling the relief and now I can play golf and do all the other things I was not able to do before meeting Natalie. She is also a very pleasant and knowledgable person about her field and I would recommend her to anybody who needs healing hands.
