Essential Acupuncture & Wellness

Natasha is a gifted healer. Three muscle groups in my neck spasmed during Hurricane Sandy and I was desperate to find help that I could walk to. Natasha was in walking distance and available during that hectic time for the city.
We started working together and i immediately felt some relief. Over the course of a couple months we met regularly. I am so thankful to be able to move without pain because of her kind and loving technique. Having her as an ally through my recovery process was essential.
Now i continue to see Natasha at her new location (which is great) because i am a true believer in the benefits of acupuncture and in the great talent of Natasha. It’s also nice that her new office is just next door to the health foods market Perelandra so you can stop in for an after-​session snack.

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 on relying on western pharmies to «solve» my issues just wasn’t working completely. 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 was 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 wellbeing 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 :)

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 régime. I appreciate Natasha’s arsenal of knowledge as well as her grace and patience that contribute to her excellent bedside manner. Natasha is a healer!

I have been seeing Natasha for about 6 months now and every time I know that we have a session coming up I practically get giddy. I am a massage practitioner, pilates instructor and personal trainer and when it comes to receiving bodywork I can be a bit of a snob. :) Natasha is incredible. She has all of the knowledge, intuition, patience, support and care that you should look for in an acupuncturist. She has a very gentle and comforting touch which is so important, especially for those who don’t quite understand acupuncture and how it will feel… which brings me to my next point — everyone, and I mean EVERYONE can benefit from acupuncture!!! Natasha has helped me with my allergies, sleep, anxiety issues, structural imbalances, circulation, digestion, menstrual cramps, and my favorite — when I literally go in and request, «Can you just clear my head? That would be great.» And she does. She literally is every kind of therapy you could ask for and more. For those new to acupuncture — the needles don’t hurt and you will wonder why you didn’t do it before. To those with experience — go to Natasha instead! She will help you immensely with any issues that you have, from superficial to chronic and quite serious. Want to cut your sugar and alcohol cravings? Want to quit smoking? Need a new form of treatment for your depression? Want pre-​natal treatment? Tired of that sports injury that you’ve had the past 10 years that just won’t quit? See Natasha. I swear, you won’t regret it.

I came to Natasha based on recommendations from personal trainers and pilates instructors. I had also read an article in the NY Times about NFL players who swear by acupuncture (you can read that article here:
). I found Natasha to be both empathic and professional. She listens completely to the issues you want to address. When she gives you treatment, she explains the eastern medicinal techniques she is employing, and will link them to western science. The other reviews here are correct: Natasha sincerely cares and seems to truly enjoy helping people. In fact, she said to me recently that she wished people in general would stop considering acupuncture to be a «last resort» and come to her sooner because she knows in most cases that she can help. I think she’s right. I can’t thank her enough for the help she’s providing me.

i joined Unilocal JUST to review Natasha, because she’s amazing. I found her randomly on google and was terrified before going. I have a ton of chronic issues including anxiety and stress, and i felt better after ONE treatment. might sound too good to be true, but it’s totally true. natasha is warm, attentive, caring, and patient. she’ll listen to you freak out and then she’ll make it better. i thought her prices were incredibly reasonable for how much she did for me, which i think is rare, especially for acupuncture.
also– she’s hot. you really can’t lose by trying a session.

I have a severe injury in my neck and have found no relief for over one year. I found Natasha Kubis at Essential Acupuncture and I can’t say enough about how much she has done for me. I had never done acupuncture before but am now a firm believer in it’s ability to heal and in Ms. Kubis’ ability to take the time and have the compassion and knowledge to listen to your ailments and heal them. She is a master healer and I simply can’t say enough about getting an opportunity to be treated by her. I can’t imagine ever finding anyone better able or more willing to help. She is amazing: she is patient, knowledgeable and compassionate. She won’t give up until you are healed. I am so grateful.

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 wholistic 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 your well being, which made all the difference with 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 had never done acupuncture before I saw Natasha and she is the best! She will help you with any problem (chronic pain, depression, etc…) You can also choose between massage and acupuncture or do a combo! If you like anonymous cold spa experiences then Natasha is not for you because she is so nice and really cares.
