Very horrible place. Did not help at all and even worsened my shoulder pains. Additionally their customer service is very awful and threatening. read more

I came to this place years ago and forgot where it was until I stumbled on it again. It's basically right across from Skull & Bones where they do whatever it is they do in there. I needed some items from the Hong Kong market and had I realized they were also sold here, I'd have waited to purchase. The energy is much more peaceful and calm and welcoming to linger and explore. They have such interesting items and if you can't figure out what something is, someone is always very eager to assist. I'm pretty sure I had one those those horrendous tasting Chinese teas made here years ago that improve whatever ailment you may be experiencing so double check on that. They also offer acupuncture and massage. It's a very sweet place I definitely recommend. A cute little block really where you can spend the day even if you're not attending a ritual. Make your own - something positive and service to others - to counter anything negative emanating from across the street. :-) read more

This place is a hole in the wall gem. Small store front with big supply of Chinese medicine inside. The owner Bill and everyone who works there are super friendly and helpful. And at $60 an hour for a authentic Chinese massage it's hard to beat the value. I highly recommend Erin - she is excellent and she is also skilled in cupping and hot stones. read more

Naturegene - Outside store front - Massage Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Booking a massage was my first foray back into normal life post COVID vaccination, and coming here was one of the best decisions I've made. The therapeutic massage here is absolutely wonderful. I've had hundreds of massages in my lifetime and am very picky. I've seen both Rose and Susan, and would highly recommend either. The owner is very kind as well. Would give 6 out of 5 stars to Naturegene if it were possible read more

I downloaded Yelp to give this place a good review! A very well done and relaxing massage. I get soreness in my neck often from working, and this helps ease it for an inexpensive price. I would recommend to anyone with mild pain/non-medical problems who just want some relief and relaxation. read more

Jasmine is fantastic. The 1 hour massage I got from her was better than most massages I would get in Beijing. Before coming to the states, she worked at a Chinese hospital as a massage therapist--so she knows her stuff. The owner, Mr. Qian, was very friendly. Now that I'm moving away from New Haven, I can't believe I waited this long to try them out! read more

I love asian massages. Actually prefer them over going to some fancy spa where I leave feeling about the same as I did when I first came. After searching around for a great asian spa on Yelp, I decided to give Naturegene a try. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and realized that this isn't the type of spa where you can just walk in. They are busy and the schedule is full. However, the sweet girl at the counter managed to work me in for an hour massage. I was massaged by Rose. I have a place in my shoulder that only one masseuse has been able to get to. Rose managed to get it without my even telling her. I feel amazing. Loved that they were willing to work in the new girl for such a great experience. As I was leaving I was sure to book an appointment with Rose again. I've now learned the system and don't want to miss out. read more

I went to Naturegene today and had a great experience with Jasmine. This was probably the first time I experienced a massage with just-perfect pressure, not too much, not too little. She definitely loosened up the knots in my back. The atmosphere, while not spa like, is nice and comfortable, better than the standard Chinatown massage room. Love the quaint store front and the herby smell of the place. The missing star is for the cupping- I realized she was going to cup me only when I felt the glass cup on my back. I was vaguely aware of the technique and waited until I was on my back to ask her about it. But given that cupping causes vivid bruises, a heads up, if not a proper consent, should be the practice. I'm pretty open to new experiences, and the cupping did help with the knots in my lower neck. I'll be back. read more

Fabulous little massage place that i only found out about through a friend. It's in an herb store so hard to find out about. BUT it's great. I saw Rose and she is fab. Just the right amount of pressure and whole body massage. Pretty inexpensive $60 for an hour massage. Try it out!! read more

I recently came to see Dr. Liu for acupuncture as I have afib and he is an expert in that field as well as many others. Within six visits my heart is functioning perfectly. He looks at the whole body and listens to what your problems are, and he really helps you. Thank you so much. read more

I've walked by this place many times and not even realized it was there. Called to make an appointment, and had an amazing 60 minute massage with Erin. Absolutely did not disappoint. They also have a Naturopathic doctor on site if your'e interested in those types of services (Josh, I believe). Clean, professional, friendly, and left feeling like a million bucks. Will definitely be back again. read more

I've been stuck by needles all over New Haven, but really found Dr. Jing Du to be a great acupuncture doctor. Although her English is not completely fluent, she has a great bedside manner and has utter professionalism and deep understanding of acupuncture. She was an internal medical doctor in China and also worked at Yale and Harvard, so she has experience and knowledge of both Eastern and Western medicine. The Tui Na massages offered at Naturegene are also fantastic. To be clear, there are NO frills here (e.g. candles, waterfalls, tantric music). Just good straightforward treatment. And the prices just can't be beat. read more

...and have now been back many times, as has my husband, my mom, my sister in law... Lin is as good as any muscle therapist I've been to anywhere (which, due to an injury, is many), but you need to book ahead. She does a combination of western massage and Chinese techniques, each time is a little different. The folks here are loving people who really want to help you be healthy and happy--try to get Lin or Jasmine if you can. (And don't be put off by the "Massage PhD" sign, they actually do know what they're doing :-) read more

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Gao and would not recommend him for acupuncture or massage. He has absolutely no bedside manner and proceeded to discuss (in detail) medical problems of two friends who had referred me while I was on the table. He was also insistent that I am missing one of my cervical vertebrae, which makes absolutely no sense. I do not know much about his credentials, but I was unimpressed by his medical knowledge and very put off by the pressure he put on me to purchase herbal medications from him. I felt uncomfortable during my appointment and I will not go back. read more

This is the best place to go in New Haven for a traditional Chinese massage. It is definitely not fancy, and the private massage rooms are squeezed into the back of the store, but the quality and price of the massages are great! The owner is very helpful and friendly, too! read more

I was referred by someone I dearly trust and the experience did not disappoint. Exceptionally professional, clean though not spa like but it doesn't affect the quality, attention or care I received. Jasmine is kind, caring, knowledgeable and most importantly respectful and loving. I can not wait to go back! read more

Susan is just wonderful and my go-to masseuse when I need a nice, deep massage to release tension and stress. She is very knowledgeable, attentive to the needs of your body, works incredibly hard to get your knots out, and gives a great massage. It's always a real treat for me! No frills here but if it is the quality of the massage itself that is important to you, there is no better value or service! read more

Massage rooms were in the back but the massage was great. It was pretty cheap only 60/hr. I was treated with some hot stones which were very relaxing and my masseuse knew exactly where my knots were! Great place read more

Rose gave me a great massage! I had a neck spasm and was in a lot of pain. They were able to see me the same day and I feel so much better! High quality services, friendly, and affordable! read more

Dr Liu gave me acupuncture when I received a diagnosis of Bells Palsy. He was very kind and compassionate. The Bell's Palsy lasted less than 3 months which is very short for Bell's Palsy. This is due to the acupuncture that he gave me. Thank you very much Dr Liu! I highly recommend him. read more

I see the positive reviews preceding this and must conclude that either I got the one person on staff who isn't really licensed or that the reviewers have never had a proper massage from a trained therapist. This was the most bizarre massage experience. No questions prior re. Injuries or special needs and no questions re. What I needed. The language barrier was pretty total and every effort to communicate what I wanted (work on my lower legs and feet) was not understood. I ultimately got off the table, paid and left early. Never dreamed I'd walk out on a massage. read more

Trust me when I tell you that this is the best place in CT to go for a massage! If you suffer from back or neck pain/tension you need to give this place a try. It's not a spa and is definitely no frills, but they are amazing at working out knots and pain. I have been here several times and every massage has been amazing. At $60/hr you can't go wrong! read more

I love massages and get them regularly (at least three times a month) due to the stress from work. Erin is the best and most professional! She really knows how to get those knots out. Every time I get massages from Erin, I leave relaxed and experience deep sleep. I especially need deep tissue massages and searched for a long time before I found Erin. I've been to many places and have never been satisfied until I met Erin. Erin is also friendly and authentic. read more

This place is great. $60/1hr. Rose, Lin and Jasmine are supposed to be the best but I've heard everyone is good. This is not a fancy spa or a luxurious ambiance but the people are nice and the massage is really good. read more

My wife has been treated by Lin-Yan Song, licensed chiropractor in this store. With a nurse background and long time practice experience, Lin has cured my wife's chronically pain in a short period of time. Her professional knowledge and unique skills has helped so many people cured their pain and regain their health. My wife say whoever need a chiropractor should have a visit with Lin. "You won't be regret, you will feel fortunate that you have made this wise choice!!" -- my wife claim. read more

I have been receiving massage from Rose almost monthly for back spasms, and each time I leave feeling rejuvenated. Her technique is out of this world--each session has been individualized to my body's "knots" at that time. read more

Finally discovered a good massage place with a reasonable price in New Haven. $55/hr. The massage was good, the staff were friendly. The massage rooms are in the back of the store. Nothing fancy, but the quality of the massage was good. read more

I recently got a 1 hour massage from Jasmine and was very pleased with the quality of the massage and especially the price ($55 for 1 hour!). It's true that the room wasn't fancy or spa like, but I was very comfortable and the room was clean and quiet. The soft music added to the calming atmosphere. For anyone looking for a good, affordable massage, I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be returning soon... read more

Dr. Du may be a great acupuncturist and Chinese medicine doctor, but beware of her version of acupressure. She uses hard instruments rather than fingers and has left me with huge and deep bruises that will take weeks to mend. I didn't see it coming as I believed I was going for acupuncture. This was one of the most painful experiences I have ever had. Ever. read more

Dr. Gao has healed several of us in our family. Understanding his english is difficult, but that is a minimal probllem for what he has done to help us. I had terrible bursitis in my shoulders 6 years ago. For months, I could only sleep about 4 hours a night. He told me he could help me with three visits, which I doubted. After 3 painful visits, I have been pain-free ever since He also helped my husband's shoulder tremendously after a weight-lifting injury. One of my children had a muscle spasm in her neck and cried for a week. She couldn't turn her head more than about two inches. During that week, we went to the medical doctor three times, to no avail. After one treatment by Dr. Gao, she woke up about 70% better the next day and was back to normal the next. After a bout of mono, my daughter had lingering, excruciatingly painful headaches. Pain meds didn't touch them. After one treatment and a week of chinese herbals, she didn't have another headache. Each experience has been a positive one. I can't say whether or not he is experienced in every area, but he has been a healer in each one of our cases. read more

i had the most horrible experience ever when i had a massage with someone there, i told her not to touch my arm she insisted. i cried out with pain, then i subjected myself to acupunture omg i nearly died. never again read more
