Xin is an extremely gifted acupuncturist. She was able to resolve my back pain as well as emotional blocks related to stress, anger and trying to control everything. I have much better sleep and life quality since I started the therapy. I'm also a big fan of the herbal medicine that her husband practices. It has improved my blood circulation and I feel much more present and full of energy. Xin is also very friendly and welcoming. I've enjoyed our thought provoking conversations. read more

Xin Xia is a patient calm practitioner who proceeds cautiously so that you can trust her with your pain issues, particularly if you have had bad experiences before. I started seeing her after Natalie Miner, the only acupuncturist I've fully trusted. And I'm happy to say that I could tolerate even more needles this time, thanks to her predecessor helping to pave the way. Often I'm nervous seeing a new provider, but she was able to go through a complex laundry list of medical ailments and help me start to un-peel the layers. She looks at not just the physical energy and how to restore flow to your cells and muscles, but some of the psychological barriers that may get in the way of full healing. And without the judgement you sometimes get in the medical world. I love that she had a way of calming the body with a few well-placed needles before proceeding with the more sensitive areas. And she asks if you can tolerate it first- she doesn't just abandon you. I will definitely return and finally have new hope in helping some stubborn chronic issues. Thankful she accepts my UHC insurance, in-network- not something to take for granted. :) read more

I have used accupuncture for over 30 years. I had no choice. Major car accident and western medicine said to take pain pills. Luckily someone introduced me to chiropractic but he couldn't touch me without accupuncture first. 2 years ago moved here and found a great chiro who recommended Xia (who has taken over as Natalie retired). I have never had such amazing results. I now see the chiro monthly instead of weekly. I rarely get my old headaches. And she has allowed me to do workouts for the first time in my life without hurting myself Xia asks where I have problems and manipulates that area to pinpoint (pun intended) the source. Then she puts the needle in a completely different part of my body. It works everytime. So amazed. She also did some myofacial release at the beginning. I was skeptical but have now learned to trust her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

In 2008, I saw Natalie Miner as a masseuse. A few years later, she sent me a flier to introduce herself as an Acupuncturist. When I got to her office, I thought, what a "smooth transition" when I saw her new gray hair look.  Basically she had transformed her business to something "softer" for her age and the same time other similar vendors were networking and promoting their business. I kept her business card for the future, if needed. At that time she also sent us a note to write our past experiences with her. Then I realized the best letters ended up on Yelp (special in 2014). In 2015, I decided to visit her, for costochondritis pain, abdominal pain and neck stiffness. I asked, if she had packages and her offer was five visits and pay for four. The costochondritis was too complicated for her. So, she came up with a phony diagnosis like "dislocated rib" without x-rays. Her explanation was that she, as an Acupuncturist was treating the muscles and Chiropractors are treating the bones. She recommended to visit Dr Wood (next door) who she would take care of me. Later I found out that they were friends and they were referring clients to each other. By the way a few months later, when I went for a left rib cage X-rays, they didn't find any dislocated rib. The whole thing was a trick for her friend to make extra money. Meanwhile she was putting needles to my body for the first few minutes and she was coming at the end of the hour to remove them to treat the neck and the stomach. After the second visit with Natalie Miner, I went to Dr Wood and I realized that she was clueless. She didn't know, that by pounding my ribs with a hammer (activator, as she called it) above my heart (supposedly to fix the dislocated rib) she would raise my blood pressure and a few days later I ended up in the ER at Good Samaritan for High Blood pressure, light headedness and they gave me beta blockers. A few weeks later I got diagnosed with Atrial Flutter. Bottom line, these two friends were using me to make money and at the same time they damaged me big time. Diandra Wood had written a five star review for Natalie, now under "not recommended" (so.... sad) and Natalie "paid" her back with another five star review. Let's don't forget that she has 20, five stars reviews (this is what happens when you are "perfect" and you recruit many friends) and another 10, again five stars reviews under "not recommended". She is using the art of deception to attract clients. When I came for the fifth visit (which it was free) she felt guilty, because of the fiasco treatment that I received from Dr Wood, to the point she couldn't enter the needles to the correct locations and I started screaming and she was trying to calm me down with her ...shh. Do you want more? After half an hour she came to remove the needles. She kicked me out half an hour earlier. Not that I cared, I'm just mentioning her methods and her manners. The abdominal pain didn't go away (zero results) and the neck was little better with some rubbing (not with needles), but I could have achieved the same results by myself with a few compresses and not to put my health in danger. If you want to put your life in jeopardy with a superficial diagnosis, (without proof), this is the place to be. It is so sad to meet people around us, who are willing to do everything, to make easy money. Natalie, I don't think you made a big commission for your referral to your friend Diandra, since she knocked me out from the second visit. SHAME ON YOU read more

I had severe fatigue symptoms as an aftermath of my cancer treatment. I needed at least 11-12 hours of sleep every day in order to barely function and had to take short naps during the day hours. Dr.Xin Xia helped a lot, after her treatment I feel energetic again. I am very thankful that I found that clinic! read more

Natalie's been a godsend in helping me heal from injuries, pain and inflammation, resulting from movement and posture problems. In addition to providing care and soothing, she teaches me what's driving my body's problems, helps me understand what is going on, and shows me proper ways to stand, move and stretch. It keeps surprising me how a few needles in places other than where it hurts can alleviate the pain. I admire her art and feel grateful for her skill. I feel very well cared for and will continue to seek her help!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Xin. She treated my menopause symptoms with needles only, And I saw the improvement In a matter of 2 weeks. The symptoms lasted for almost a year before I seeing her, family doctor think it was normal, But all the symptoms makes my life so inconvenient: Hot flashes woke me up in the early morning, irregular cycles makes planning activities so difficult, Large amount of bleeding causing anemia symptoms: I was so weak that when the heavy days come, it forced me to bed resting at least for 2 days. Sometimes the cycle could be as short as 21 days, It feels like I was bleeding 1/2 of days in last year. After 2 weeks of intense treatments, my cycle length go back to normal 26 days, and blood Amount back to normal level, just need to do maintaining treatments. Life is easier and predictable again. Thank you Xin! You are simple amazing! read more

Tip: Went there beginning of January for the first time. There was a change of ownership I guess but too long ago. It's no longer Natalie Miner. read more

I highly recommend Xin Xia's acupuncture treatment for all types of pain. She is phenomenal! My name is Pat, I'm 75 years old and have severe scoliosis, which is a sideways curvature of the spine. In 2017, I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my lower back that made my right knee completely numb. I also have arthritis. Due to my health issues, surgeons told me that back surgery was out. I tried everything: modern medicines, cortisone shots, and a lot of physical therapy. I also did pilates which helped, and saw other acupuncturists which kept me stable, but I still had pain. Then starting late fall 2019, I began seeing Xin Xia at Healing Point Acupuncture Clinic once a week for acupuncture. What I like about her is she analyzes all your problems before she starts doing her procedures. You can tell Xin anything that's bothering you. She is very focused and thorough in what she is doing. When I see her, she keeps working on the same spots. I think her technique helps my body remember what it should feel like. Often during my treatment, she'll have me stand up to see if the pain goes away. She can make it go away instantly. After just a month and a half of acupuncture with Xin, I can practically walk pain free! I didn't realize how really great acupuncture was until I saw her. I've had shots in my knee before which may be a short term fix--while acupuncture with Xin is long term fix. I've recommended several people to her. Now, to stay healthy, I exercise, do pilates, acupuncture and walk watering. Today I can still continue my small business which is graphic design. I've worked for Stanford University for 45 years--I still have many friends there. It keeps me out and about, and I can walk without my walker. I don't need a cane. I can also go out with my friends and enjoy my lifestyle. I can play with my grandkids. My family and friends are the most important things to me. Xin Xia is the real deal because she understands your whole structural nervous system. That woman is a saint in my book. She is phenomenal! read more

This is an overdue 10 star review for Dr.Xin Xia and Dr.Natalie Miner. These 2 are miracle workers and they solve problems nobody else able to in the last 5 years!! I suffered a SLAP tear while weightlifting 5 years ago, I'm a computer worker and I have a lot of tight muscles. I developed so much pain around my upper back and traps. After wasting much time with bad chiropractors and acupuncturists, i decided to do a SLAP tear repair surgery. Similar pain came back after the surgery, so now what? I resumed seeing physical therapist who gave me a boat load of exercises but returned absolutely no results. Ive also seen chiropractors and acupuncturists who were mostly after symptom relief and my money. They treat the bare minimum and keep you coming back to pay for more treatments... I've seen a total of 30+ chiropractors/physical therapists/sports acupuncturists/regular acpuncturists. Nobody solved my problems. Until I met Dr.Xin Xia and Dr.Natalie Miner, these two focus on my problems patiently, they both have a deep understanding of the muscular structure and fascial layer of the human body. They dived deep into how i suffered the injury like a detective, then traced back to all the events that happened to my body that could have contributed to the pain, such as scar tissue from my surgery.... I have already made from recovery than all of my procedures in the last 5 years combined and i will keep seeing these two as much as I can. I will also recommend them to anybody i speak with. The world needs more doctors who not only focus on the symptom but also focus on the root cause. read more

I have been seeing Natalie Miner for over 5 years off and on. She has helped with back pain, hip pain and the treatment has helped me with my anxiety as well. I was referred by a coworker and was apprehensive of the needles but they don't hurt at all. This is part of my monthly self care and tell everyone who will listen to go to Natalie, she is a amazing! read more

I first visited Natalie Miner for a stress related issue. I have had quite a few acupuncture treatments in my life so I thought I knew what to expect. I went in feeling wrecked and came out feeling like a new woman. The feeling of being stressed was gone, and in its' place was a feeling of being able to handle anything and of calm happiness. And, a long standing digestive issue seems to have disappeared as well. i am going back for regular treatments because I have never experienced such profound healing in one session from any acupuncturist. I know Natalie can help me with several other health challenges and I'm excited to get started. read more

After more than a year of early miscarriages, including an ectopic pregnancy, I figured I'd try acupuncture (why not?) to see if it would help, and I'm SO happy to share that I'm now 18 weeks pregnant!! Honestly the only thing we changed is I started going to acupuncture 2x/week, and Xin Xia made a couple additional recommendations (i.e. drinking black soy bean in the morning, wear more socks, stop wearing nail polish, etc.). I can't say I can tell you exactly what made the difference, but I'm just very happy that this worked for us!! We still have a ways to go but I'm so happy I can share that we've gotten to this point so far!! Thank you Xin Xia!! read more

It's difficult to convey the incredible gratitude I feel towards Natalie for the great relief and healing she's brought me. She's the first acupuncturist who has ever managed to relieve a chronic migraine for me right on the table, and follow up sessions have erased their impact on my life completely. This weekend I did something to my back and could barely walk. I had a session scheduled with Natalie on Monday. She worked her magic and when I left her office I was in much better shape. I returned today for a second treatment and I am reborn. Natalie is also trained in other therapeutic modalities including different types of bodywork. I've had a fair amount from some great practitioners, and Natalie blows me away again and again when she uses it in conjunction with my acupuncture treatments. Natalie is a miracle worker, a true healer in every sense of the word. She is very wise, and has a good, kind heart. I am such a fan. Feel so very lucky to have found her. read more

Natalie is fantastic! I am having neck/Shoulder pain from last 2+ years and visited many acupuncturist, chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, physiatrist etc etc. I even had 3 trigger shot in my spine but none of them worked. Recently, my insurance changed and I found her under my insurance coverage with few decent review. I had my own doubts before the visit but I did give it try and I am happy about it. She took the thorough history and always reviews symptoms and updates with each visit. She'll carefully go through the problem areas and apply skillful acupuncture. She has a different way of doing acupuncture, which I found to be odd the first time, but then saw a significant improvement in my mobility and pressure/tightness after subsequent sessions.  I would strongly recommend her to anyone, friend or family! She's the best. read more

First of all, If you have tried acupuncture and it has not been successful for you, DON"T GIVE UP! Please give it another try here. Xin has an amazing gift. She is extremely knowledgeable and has an innate ability to find the source of pain. I have been suffering for many years with degenerative disc disease. I have not had a pain free day for over 20 years until 2 months ago! I am now pain free at least 6 days a week. The best part is that I know that I can go in and she will "FIX" me! This is not a one time solution. You have to be realistic. Xin will not mis-lead you. She will be very honest about what she can do. She recently suggest doing myofascial release. I figured, why not? It was the best decision ever. After 20 years of toughing out the pain, I had become very stiff and rigid. The acupuncture treatment along with myofascial release have given me such a new outlook. I am pain free and I have actually "grown" 3/4 of an inch due to the fact that I am no longer hunched over in pain. I can't give her enough credit for my new lease in life. read more

I am so grateful to Natalie Miner. We first met when I was in rehabilitation for a challenging nerve pain disorder called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (also known as RSD), and after I was recovering from a bad car accident. Natalie gently went about calming my overly stimulated nervous system, that was stuck in a fight or flight mode. I trusted her to poke me with needles and whatever other tool she deemed useful in treating me. And if I had trouble tolerating something, she immediately pulled back and tried a different approach. It was through Natalie that my body learned how to be calm and to get into the parasympathetic state. She is an excellent teacher, perhaps from her prior engineering background, Natalie has an innate curiosity and intuition for how things work, and what to address to fix the problem. She knows where the tender spots are, without me even having to mention them. Natalie has a form of massage where she can put your body and mind into a realigned, blissful state while barely even touching you it seems. And she can dig deep into muscles without causing them to hurt. My neck feels like melted butter in her gentle hands, and I trust her with any imbalance or pain issue that may come up in the future. She continually seeks new modalities on behalf of her patients and is very adept at knowing the musculoskeletal issues that come up with an active lifestyle. read more

I have lived in three cities and have used acupuncture for pain management due to injury, as well as tendonitis/"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. read more

I have always been scared to try acupuncture. Then I saw Natalie. About 98% of the needles I didn't even feel! The ones I did feel just tickled. I have had so much relief after seeing Natalie. Every time I see her I feel calm, relaxed, my muscles & aches are melted away. I highly recommend seeing Natalie, she really knows how to make you feel better. read more

Natalie accomplished more in one session with my shoulder than my 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! read more

Well, Natalie did it again! She has helped me with sleep issues and back problems in the past, this time I went to her for bone spurs in the neck. I was in a LOT of pain and had very restrictive movement. I didn't know acupuncturists could treat bone spurs, so I went to a traditional doctor, a physical therapist, had a cortisone injection, nothing worked. I am only half way through my treatment and am now 95% pain free. I can turn my head freely now and can finally start working out again. Wish I had gone to her first. Thank you Natalie! read more

Natalie is great and acupuncture just works. I used it for a long time to treat my hay fever, but lately I went to Natalie for a tennis elbow. Much relief after the first visit and she brought about great results within 3 weeks. Her background as an athlete and her knowledge of sports-related injuries is invaluable to me. read more

Natalie is awesome. i couldn't function without her. i'm a total believer in chinese medicine and always go to Natalie before i consider going to an allopathic doctor. they rarely have answers for so many of the problems people get. and is sooo much better than all the drugs with their side effects which heal nothing and mess you up further. You walk out of Natalie's with the problem either resolved or much much better. i can't recommend her highly enough. Diandra W read more

Natalie is extremely talented! I have been working with her over this past yeast and she helped me with the early signs of tennis elbow, extreme fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, and straightening my back. She had a wonderful intake process with really cool software. Her spirit is so uplifting and she knows exactly how to heal my body. I know that every experience is a positive experience. She is my secret weapon to keep me thriving in my very busy lifestyle! Trust me, she is the real deal. You can thank me later. read more

Natalie is a miracle worker! I was feeling pain in my right knee for about a week and it was not getting any better. I went to see Natalie for one treatment, she placed some needles in my left elbow and, voila, the pain went away! The knee pain has not returned, it has been over six months. I now continue treatment for stress reduction, bliss! read more

I came to The Healing Point Acupuncture and Natalie at the recommendation of my chiropractor, Diandra Wood. I was suffering symptoms of bronchitis, and Natalie relieved my pain and discomfort, and eased my breathing on the very first visit! I have not been able to return as often as I would like (for other concerns) but plan to in the very near future! Thank you, Natalie - your knowledge, expertise and gentle touch helped heal me, and I will see you soon! read more

I have had problems with my hips, back and shoulders post pregnancy. It's been 10 years since the birth of my first child, and I unfortunately ignored the problems for many years. About 5 years ago, I started working with several therapists (physical therapists, personal trainers, chiropractor) so that I could start running again. I've made progress, but the basic problems have been to difficult to address. I started seeing Natalie about a month ago and I have been surprised at how helpful she has been. (I was a bit skeptical about acupuncture and hesitant to try it.) Now I wish I had started 5 years ago. For my particular problem of bad alignment, Natalie has been extremely effective. read more

Over the past few years I've gone to see Natalie Minor, predominately to help me with pain in my hands and neck. While I found the appointments helpful in dealing with the acute pain, I especially appreciated her insights into the care of my body as a whole. She's very insightful in pointing out areas of concern regarding my posture, and very helpful suggesting the type of exercises and stretches I can do improve those areas of concern. I plan to go back and see her periodically, as needed. read more

Natalie is amazing. She is very gentle and takes the time to explain all of the acupuncture procedure, why she's doing it, how it can help and genuinely cares about you during the process. I have recommended her to several friends and will continue doing so. The online booking is very easy too! read more

When I was so stressed I couldn't relax, I knew what I had to do: Call Natalie! Even better, Natalie knew what to do -- with her magic touch (and needles) Natalie helped me unwind and literally brought my blood pressure down 20 points. I spell relief N-A-T-A-L-I-E M-I-N-E-R! :) read more

Natalie is an amazing healer! I am impressed every time I see her by her ability to drastically reduce and relieve my pain and other symptoms. She approaches me and my condition(s) from multiple angles and methods all in one session and is continuously checking in with me to see if any symptoms have changed and how much. I keep coming back to her for multiple different issues and am amazed by her ability to tackle so many things at once. It can really feel like she is some sort of magician with her ability to eliminate pain and tension and help me feel so recharged in an hour or less. I often leave her office feeling like a new person, relaxed and rejuvenated. I would recommend Natalie to anyone, she is very skilled, kind, honest, and uplifting. She has greatly improved my health and I will forever be grateful to her for that. read more

I was a complete skeptic about acupuncture, but it has healed parts of my body that have hurt for ages, not to mention reduce stress related tension. Natalie is a genius at massage and acupuncture, but first and foremost, she is a HEALER. I am continually amazed at her ability to take one look at me and find the area(s) that are tense or causing me pain... then work to skillfully heal me. She is also a delightful person! Natalie worked for years at Axis personal trainers in Mountain View, and when that closed, she opened her own practice just down the road. I'm so glad she did! read more

I have been seeing Natalie for 4 years for myofascial pain. I started with her for massage, but now see her for both massage and acupunture. She has a beautiful, calm demeanor. It is wonderful that she can combine massage with her magic needles in ONE SESSION, depending on what I need. That way, I do not schedule for the 2 services separately, but she decides what is needed. I see her for regular release of muscle spasms, and the effects are truly astounding! You will not regret seeing her. read more

Natalie is a true healer! From the minute you walk through the doors you can feel the calm. She has helped me when dealing with my sons asthma and made several helpful suggestions. She takes her time and evaluates her patients with true sincerity. I am so glad to have found her and you will too! read more

I have always been afraid of needles but was at a pivotal point in my life where I could give this last option a try or be stuck on medicine forever. I gave her a try based on a few friends' referrals and responded immediately to the treatments. I have since gotten off of 2 medications and am working towards full health! I sleep better, feel better and overall have hope again that I won't be forced to stay on medications with nasty side effects. Natalie doesn't say a whole lot in the beginning in hopes to allow you to have your own experience and respond naturally. If you are looking for an alternative medicinal path to feel better - give her a try. She has re-shaped my life in only a few months! read more

I've been going to Natalie off and on for 5 years. Even if I haven't seen her in awhile, she remembers how my body works. She does a glance over, starts nodding and I know she's figured it out. I'm really stubborn so I only go in when the pain is at the absolute worst! By the time I walk out, I feel exponentially better. Sometimes I even fall asleep because the needles relax me so much its even more refreshing then a massage. Speaking of massage...(she does that too!, double whammy!) I would definitely would recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been in pain for four years straight. I have a foot and wrist problem and 7 Western doctors couldn't make me feel as good as Natalie did in one session. She is incredible and talented. I am absolutely amazed by her and her ability to heal. I highly highly recommend her to anyone. She is incredible. read more

Natalie is a miracle worker!! I fell while in Mexico and started to experience numbness in my hands, face, feet, and head. My heart beat was erratic and breathing became difficult. I had gone to the emergency room at least 12 times in August 2013 and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. I decided to see Natalie and she has made me able to start living life again and being myself. Thank you! read more

Natalie is extremely effective and I have recommended her to numerous friends. I have extremely high regard for Natalie. I am personally a biomedical researcher, so I am not against western medicine, but I often go to Natalie first, and often get superior results w/o medication. Highly recommend. read more

My neurologist recommended I find an acupuncturist to complement the neurologist's treatments for my lower back injury. He wanted me to find someone who included cupping in their treatments. Natalie's skill and knowledge of acupuncture and cupping are top notch. After only two treatments I'm amazed at how much new range of motion I have, and how the pain is gone in my back. She's an expert in understanding and using her needles. I highly recommend her. read more
