自然气针灸

I have been seeing Melani since March of this year (nine months) and cannot say enough about my experience at Natural Qi. Melani and her colleagues, who I see occasionally depending on scheduling, clearly care about providing a nurturing, relaxing environment that is patient-focused and tailored to my specific needs. The treatments I have received have produced a measurable effect of well-being on my body, and I intend to continue to work with Melani and Natural Qi for the forseeable future.

I have been seeing Alyssa (off and on) since May 2011 and it has been an absolute pleasure throughout. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, she is kind, supportive, and wonderful at explaining what it is that she is doing and why. She also has an amazingly gentle touch and immediately put me at ease from day one, despite some initial nerves (I honestly came to look forward to each appointment as I would a massage or other spa treatment....). The office is quiet and peaceful, and the treatment rooms clean and comfortable. Alyssa is also lovely about appointment flexibility and trying her best to accommodate your schedule (I frequently saw her early in the morning or late afternoon, so as not to interfere too much with work); I also had the pleasure of seeing Melani a handful of times (when I needed to come in on one of Alyssa's off days) and had an equally positive experience during these treatments (in other words, I don't think you can go wrong seeing any of the practitioners). I feel that, through my treatments (a combination of acupuncture and herbs), we truly accomplished my original goals (where conventional Western medicine had failed) as well as achieving a number of added benefits. I would not hesitate to return to Natural Qi, should the need arise in the future, and highly recommend this practice to anyone considering acupuncture.

I have been a migraine suffer most of my life and had never considered having acupuncture done instead of taking over the counter and prescription drugs. When I became pregnant, my headaches did not go away and at 21 weeks I started developing weekly migraines. As a result I made an appointment with my neurologist who suggested I get acupuncture since it is safe for both myself and my baby. A friend of mine told me about Melani and her practice so I made an appointment in the hopes that it would be my miracle drug and I am happy to report that acupuncture is my miracle drug! I went from having weekly migraines to weekly headaches to no headaches at all and I plan on continuing with acupuncture after my baby is born.

The team at Natural Qi Acupuncture is extremely warm and welcoming. Even more importantly, their treatments are incredibly effective! With decades of shared experience, they work together to formulate herbal prescriptions and tailor treatment plans to achieve results I've never experienced with any medical modality before. I cannot encourage you enough to try these gifted healers if you are at all in need of care.

Melani is a complete and utter angel. I've never met anyone with a more warm, caring, and peaceful nature - instantly looking at her upon my first appointment instilled me with a sense of ease and anticipation for the healing that was about to take place. I was in a horrible and terrible physical and mental state when my mother first looked up acupuncture offices in New York City and saw that Melani was overwhelmingly recommended on a variety of social media and Google. She called her personally to give her some background on my situation and Melani expressed an interest and a conviction that she could help this stranger's daughter despite never having met her and all other medical treatments appearing hopeless. Right before I came to the city I started experiencing IBS symptoms due to anxiety, stress, possible adrenal fatigue, and general recovery from an eating disorder years ago that had left my body and mind in tatters. Nothing seemed to help: my family doctor tried and failed to treat me and didn't even seem to know how to ease my pain and discomfort. I was constantly exhausted, dehydrated, and rapidly lost weight despite the massive amounts of food I was eating (I was starving at all hours of the day no matter when I ate.) My skin was dry and flaky, my eyes were dark and constantly red-rimmed, and I generally felt dis-eased, exhausted, and severely anxious about how nothing seemed to help. All my doctor could say was to take Immodium after every meal and try to sleep more! I came to Melani in the absolute worst physical condition I've ever been in my entire life. I had one session a week, and within two weeks my constant diarrhea and bloating started drastically improving, along with my anxiety, sleep patterns, and energy. She listens - really listens - to any and all concerns and makes sure to get the broad picture of health before targeting immediate problems, working her patients into eventual and total health. I've never experienced the depth of such care. I can't believe where I am eight weeks later: digestively stable, at a healthy weight, and energized to continue on my path to total wellness. I'll forever be indebted to Melani, and I can't recommend her enough as a miracle-worker and trusted acupuncturist.
