Natasha is the best acupuncturist I have ever had, period! She treated me for over 7 years, through being stressed from working 100-hour weeks, injuries, fertility issues, pregnancy, and beyond. She has treated me through two kids; I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else. She even treated my toddler. She has this beautiful, calming, healing, and caring presence. Her energy is glowing. She truly cares about your whole picture of well-being, mind, body, and spirit. She has so much knowledge on women's health and her profession that when we started our wellness company, Embody Wellness Company, we knew we had to have her as our sole acupuncturist for our clients. You will be delighted to have her. We are missing her in NYC, but NC is beyond fortunate to have such a talented healing professional.

I have had several acupuncture sessions with Natasha, and they have been great! I don’t even see the needles and hardly feel them when they go in. She is definitely a good fit for those who are at all squeamish about being pricked. And I can tell you that I have felt fantastic after these sessions!!

Natasha is the warmest and most inviting person I have met. She is an expert in the field of acupuncture. I sought acupuncture for infertility. I had an unsuccessful past with infertility medications, inseminations, and threw in the towel on that part of my life. My hormones were out of whack by the time I pursued acupuncture. Natasha helped my entire system normalize and, most importantly, she helped me to de-stress! Now, by the grace of God prompting me to stop infertility meds and seek acupuncture, I’m happy to say I’m 12 weeks pregnant. I am still seeing Natasha to maintain a healthy and safe pregnancy. I have recommended her to all my friends and family! You’ve truly not had acupuncture until you’ve seen Natasha Kubis!

Acupuncture with Natasha has been such a blessing! Not only is she incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but she is also one of the kindest, most considerate people I’ve ever met. She listens compassionately, and the wisdom she shares is insightful. I can’t recommend her enough! After struggling for years with skin issues due to hormonal imbalances, I booked my first acupuncture appointment in Asheville — and I’m so thankful it was with Natasha! Sessions with her are relaxing, informative, and most of all, healing. She creates a peaceful atmosphere, and loving-kindness imbues her work. I noticed improvements after the first session, and with each follow-up appointment, I feel better and better. With a heart full of gratitude, I can happily report that my skin has cleared up. And it’s thanks to Natasha. The lasting results and additional benefits are truly amazing. Integrating acupuncture into my wellness routine has been imperative, and it’s a privilege to be treated by such a gifted soul.

Natasha goes above and beyond for her patients. She made me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe to tell my story. Her gentle compassion is truly healing. I love how she incorporates breath work while applying the acupuncture needles; I hardly felt a thing! She doesn’t just leave you after applying the needles; she works on reflexology points to help enhance the treatment. The best acupuncture experience I’ve ever had. I highly recommend working with Natasha.

Natasha is amazing at what she does! She did a thorough evaluation during my first visit and really listened to my needs. She looked at the overall picture of my health along with my current health concerns. Her treatments are extremely gentle, and she doesn’t just use needles in her healing. She uses massage and foot reflexology points, too. This approach has been extremely effective for me, and I couldn’t thank her enough!

Initially, being apprehensive about acupuncture, Natasha quickly eased my worries and guided me to a very calming session. I had originally been dealing with frequent migraines, but after a few sessions, I noticed a substantial change for the positive! Natasha is a fantastic person, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture and the many benefits it offers!

I have been an ardent fan of Natasha since the first time she laid her hands on me! She has treated my wife during pregnancy, helped me to recover from a multitude of injuries, and several friends would agree with me in saying she just might be the best acupuncture/bodywork specialist I’ve ever received treatment from.

I loved working with Natasha! She helped me with back/neck-related issues and also fertility/pregnancy (I got pregnant in month 2!). Not only is she a talented practitioner, but she is also a kind and genuine person whose wonderful energy makes her easy to be around and makes the treatments extra relaxing and calming. She was indispensable to me during a difficult pregnancy. I highly recommend her! She is a special person

I can’t believe how much Natasha helped me with my insomnia. I was sleeping anywhere from zero to 6 hours a night for weeks….But after just one treatment from her, I got ELEVEN hours of sleep! I couldn’t believe it! Natasha is an amazingly gentle and talented healer. Recommended to anyone

Let me start out by saying that I have a long history with acupuncturists — and other “alternative medicine” healers (eg, herbalists, reiki practitioners, EFT counselors, Ayurvedic medicine doctors, biofeedback work,” mindfulness-based stress reduction” meditation (MBSR), etc). Most helped SOME of my “issues” (extreme anxiety, terrible muscular pain, rage, infertility, hair loss, digestive problems, and more). But NONE offered the swift, pleasurable, and immediately obvious benefits that working with Natasha has. She asks various questions about lifestyle and thought patterns to connect the dots between your troubles. She gives you as much or as little feedback as you wish, without a pinch of judgement. Then the needles go in. Her touch is immaculately gentle. After a few seconds, you sink. It’s a type of sinking that feels like a lifting out of oneself. It feels like a trance. Nothing can bother you in this place. It’s a place between sleep and complete relaxation. Coming out of this place is almost painful– but only for a moment. Because once you stand, once you go outside, into the madness that is NYC, you notice that things that bothered you no longer do. No matter what chaos is happening, it’s out there — not inside you. It all seems vaguely…interesting. And you remember this feeling. You learn, after 8 or so sessions with Natasha, how to summon this state (or something like it) yourself. (I’d suggest at least once a week until you feel better; for more rapid healing, two per week). Proof of her abilities? For one, after being told five years ago that I had “premature ovarian crisis” and would never have kids, my husband and I created an embryo. Other less tangible benefits: less rage; fewer sugar and alcohol cravings; less anxiety before public speaking, and fewer battles with hostile self-talk. And that’s just off the top of my head. Go to Natasha. It’s worth far more than the cost.

In 2005, I was involved in a serious car accident that left me with a permanent spinal injury and chronic pain from my neck to my feet. In the five years that followed, I underwent more than 20 procedures and even a spinal surgery to help manage my pain. Nothing helped. In 2010, I decided to take my health into my own hands and began a series of holistic procedures–from Pilates to bodywork–which is when I was introduced to Natasha. Having never had acupuncture in the past, I really did not know what to expect, and was skeptical when friends told me how much it had helped them. From my very first session, I finally understood how right they were. The difference in my level of pain was truly immediate. The acupuncture process is a very private one; for the acupuncturist to best help his/her patient, you will answer a lot of questions about various health issues and habits (which you may or may not believe guide the practitioner in the best way to help you). Natasha’s warm and caring disposition made it easy to share these often personal details. She’s also extremely knowledgeable (always a good thing) and can share all sorts of info and tips on how to live a better life–from eating healthy to reducing stress. And she makes herself available via email, cell, whatever to answer any questions you may have. I truly cannot say enough great things about Natasha and how much she has truly improved my life. She’s also a lot of fun to hang out with for an hour (which is particularly important when you’re receiving treatment every week). And she gets some serious extra points for making home visits–which, in my case, included a truly treacherous walk-up and lots of interested pets as onlookers. If you’ve ever considered getting acupuncture but just aren’t sure if it’s for you–or are on the lookout for a new practitioner–you cannot do better than Natasha

I can’t say enough about Natasha. She first treated me for two herniated discs in my neck, and she was not only the only source of pain relief I found (and I did everything from chiro to injections to physical therapy), but she has also given me back my range of motion. I have continued to see her for two years for various injuries and issues, and I always leave feeling great and ultimately healed. She is far more thorough than any other acupuncturist I have ever seen, treating the whole body and not just putting in a couple of needles, and always goes the extra mile in terms of dietary suggestions and homeopathic herbal remedies. I don’t know what I would have done had I not found her. She is professional, personable, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. I don’t write reviews generally, but had to in this case.

I had been carrying old sports injuries and needed to balance my energy. Yoga was helping me quite a bit, but I was looking for a more individual, holistic approach. When I first met Natasha, I was impressed with her training and deep knowledge of Eastern medicine. During the acu sessions, it was noticeable, as opposed to any previous experience with health care professionals, that she genuinely cared for my well-being, which made all the difference to me. The discomfort from my old injuries disappeared, and energy levels were restored in a couple of sessions. I left NYC a while ago and thought it was going to be easy to find a replacement. Unfortunately, I have yet to find anyone like her.

I have been seeing Natasha for around 2 years and feel that her approach to acupuncture is incredibly personalized and effective. In the beginning, I was amazed at the immediate relief I would experience, and now that I am feeling better overall, my weekly treatments are excellent maintenance within my health and fitness regime. I appreciate Natasha’s arsenal of knowledge as well as her grace and patience which contribute to her excellent bedside manner.

At first, I wasn’t sure what to think about acupuncture and sticking needles in me to solve my issues, but I do know that I was sick of relying on Western pharmacies to “solve” my issues. After my first session with Natasha, I was sold! She has such a warm, compassionate, smart way about her — without being overly “doctor-y”. I had been dealing with stress, anxiety, and insomnia, among other issues, and Natasha was able to treat me and was beyond amazing in helping me find my way to a healthy mind and body – her treatments and constant advisement were priceless! I am now well on my road to recovery with her help. Instead of just masking my symptoms, I feel like acupuncture really gets to the root cause. Natasha is there to partner with you and talk about your ailments and help you to grow as more is unveiled about the root of your health issues. I continue to go in for acupuncture treatments as often as I can with Natasha. She is professional, and her treatment room is so relaxing and inviting – it truly makes me feel like I am getting pampered somehow. Super healing for the soul! I love needles being stuck in me now, ha! Natasha takes a personal approach that brings back memories of doctors making house calls, knowing your name, and caring about your well-being even after you leave the office. Love Natasha’s energy and her treatments, and couldn’t recommend her services more! She is a true expert in her field and makes her clients feel welcomed and comfortable at all times. Go see her now! You will most definitely thank me later.
