Natalie Franciose
For Natalie, health is not just a career it is a passion. Helping others has been a life-long calling and Chinese Medicine has shown itself to be a powerful path for her to walk to fulfill it.
Natalie Franciose began her knowledge with a Bachelor of Science in biology and a minor in chemistry from Radford University graduating in 2008. In August 2015 Natalie earned her Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from CSTCM - the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. While in school she interned at Urban Herbs Company, an herbal pharmacy serving the Five Points neighborhood, where she was brought on in a full-time capacity after passing her boards. She is nationally board certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. In treatment she creates a nurturing environment to inspire the process of healing. Through personal experiences of her own and those of her patient’s Natalie knows the body has an innate ability to harmonize and heal itself.
It is Natalie’s life-calling to help others unlock the powerful healing capabilities they already hold within themselves.
In her leisure time Natalie enjoys writing, traveling with friends, practicing qi gong, yoga, meditation, and circus arts.

“It takes a special individual to effectively treat patients with Eastern Medicine. From the high level of precision and accuracy a practitioner must have with their needle points to deep understanding and awareness of the energy (chi) of the medicine it is clear to me that not all humans have what it takes to practice this medicine. Natalie harnesses all of these attributes and more. Through my own experiences with other practitioners along my health journey I know, with confidence, that you would be hard pressed to find a more empathetic, caring, and effective acupuncturist. I have referred many friends and family to Natalie in the past and will continue to do so in the future for I know that her work has played a huge role into the level of health and wellness I experience today.”

“Natalie is a truly gifted and compassionate practitioner. She took the time to conduct a very thorough intake to understand not only my medical history but also my emotional issues and past trauma. She asked all the right questions and took detailed notes. Natalie is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about health and wellness. Most importantly for me, she embodies kindness. Her space is beautiful and cozy. I felt cared for and safe the entire time, drifting off into my wonderful cosmic places while on her table. I’ve had a lot of acupuncture over the years and I can say with confidence that my experience with Natalie was hands down the best. I will be back for regular visits and highly recommend her.
