I was having some pretty significant back and leg pain that kind of came out of nowhere. It was affecting my sleep and I started popping Advil, which wasn't helping. I've tried acupuncture in the past and had good success with it, so I searched for a practitioner in Marin who could hopefully bring relief. Luckily I found Nura, who has a nice studio in Corte Madera. She takes Covid precautions seriously, which I appreciated. The acupuncture session was unrushed and thorough, with just the right number of needles and electrical stimulation. I felt relief soon after, and within several

I have been seeing Nura for about 8 months. Nura is wonderful. She is a skilled massage therapist and acupuncturist. Nura truly cares about her patients. She takes the time to sit with you and discuss your concerns and expectations before beginning her work. Nura is always punctual and sends helpful reminders about your appointment schedule. She is knowledgeable about Herbal products and makes recommendations but does not push products on you. Nura is kind and very talented. I recommend her very highly.

I wanted to write this review much earlier, but it simply slid off my Want-To-Do list, but here it is: I purchased a session via Groupon last year around Christmas and got an appt. quickly and easily. When I arrived for my treatment, we discussed the issues I was experiencing; extreme neck & shoulder pain. Nura said we should combine the acupuncture treatment with some massage. I felt a tremendous amount of relief already after the massage and was floating on clouds by the time the acupuncture treatment concluded. It was so effective. My healthcare provider covers acupuncture treatments, but

I purchased a Groupon and just spoke with Nura to schedule my appts. She seems very nice so I feel good about my purchase and the good reviews here. Just so folks are aware she only sees 2 Groupon clients per day (understandable) and is booked for weekend appointments until 4/21 (2 months from now). I will update review after my first session with her.

I'm one of those people that always thought about acupuncture but never did it. Then one day a small pain in my lower back turned into an annoyance and then debilitating nerve pain down my left leg. It was so bad that I bought a cane. Yup...here I am turning 49 soon and I have a cane. At least it was foldable and had what my son called, "a cool light that I can use at night so I won't have to turn the lights on".
I finally went to my doctors and she prescribed meds and a visit to a back specialist... which I couldn't get an appointment until two weeks out. So my wife

Nura is an excellent acupuncturist! I was new to acupuncture and her kind and thoughtful demeanor made me feel super comfortable. I was originally seeing her for a knee injury but she ended up helping me treat a number of other issues (stress, allergies, etc.) I like how she combines deep-tissue massage with acupuncture to cater to your body's specific needs. If you're looking to try acupuncture, Nura is the perfect therapist for you!

Nura is a kind, caring and open therapist. I've visited her for both acupuncture and massage. She personalizes treatments. Her massage technique is excellent with deep pressure and an understanding of your personal body situation. She combines massage into her acupuncture sessions which makes them even more relaxing and rebalancing. A convenient location in west portal makes parking easy. Nura rocks!

I have been seeing Nura for my upper back and low back pain due to increase stress from work and not able to exercise much. Nura was able to relieve my back pain with a few session of acupuncture. She does massage in the beginning of her session and then acupuncture. If you ever had acupuncture or massage before, when you are faced down on the massage table for some duration of time your nose may get itchy and you can't scratch it. You ring the bell that Nura gives you and she will come into the room to attend to you. I have had other acupuncturist who told me to just deal with it. Nura provides

I am going to Nura to aid with my pinched nerve in my lower back. I've only had one acupuncture session with her but I will be seeing her again for another acupuncture and massage appointment. What I like about her is that she gave me a lot of really good advice and knowledge on nutrition and overall health. I am a fitness enthusiast so I am always open and willing to learning new things for healthier living. Definitely recommend her.

I love her! I started working with Nura over a year ago through a Groupon purchase. It can take longer to get an appointment with businesses by a Groupon, but she was just very fast at booking me in. Great first impression.
After using all the groupons, I couldn't be able to afford another session. However, I really wanted to continue working with her and she was so understanding of my situation by offering a discount!
She is really mindful, kind, and knowledgeable. She helped bring me comfort for my chronic back pains and informed me about the importance of our daily nutritions!

This has been my first acupuncture experience and it has been great. She listed attentively, and really targeted my lower back and migraine problem areas. She is very knowledgeable about different herbs and other things- like seeds on pressure points!
I'm so thankful that I finally got past my fears and found her!

I've struggled to find an acupuncturist to connect with for years in New York and Nura breaks the mold. I make sure to see her every time I visit SF. She starts off each session with a discussion about what I'm going through and looking for and then modifies her treatment based on problem areas - even calling on her massage training to help with a sore overworked shoulder. She goes above & beyond and ends each session with helpful printouts about Eastern medicine ranging from breathing exercises to educational diet materials. She even suggested easy, helpful recipes when I mentioned

I started seeing Nura over a year ago for severe back pain based on a referral from my chiropractor - and she was amazing! I've had negative experiences with acupuncture in the past, but Nura made our visits comfortable and compassionate. We talked through everything that was going on with me physically, mentally, and personally, before any treatment was applied. I was amazed by how relaxed I felt after and at how effective her treatments were. Her recommendations for herbal medicine were also effective and realistic (I didn't have to take a dozen pills a day to experience results

BUYER BEWARE, esp. if you're a Groupon customer: Of all the masseuses with whom I've worked, this one stands out as a true disappointment. After first reaching out to Nora via the email listed on her web site, she did not respond for a week--and only because I bumped the original email. It was at that point that she told me that she only sees two Groupon clients a day (I had purchased a Groupon) and that her first availability was in mid-April--which is close to when the Groupon expires. She also told me to call her, so I decided to give scheduling a try.

First of all, I LOVE me my massages! I bought a Groupon with the hopes of finding a talented and skilled massage therapist. But, like others have said, with a Groupon the wait is VERY VERY LONG. I got my appointment, walked into the office and was ignored by the woman at the reception desk. No looking up to see who walked in, no greeting, nothing. Nura is very friendly and greeted me with a smile, but the massage was merely okay. I wanted something great and maybe that was the problem. It was a good massage for the price, but I'm still looking for a massage therapist for when I'm in SF

Sure she's very talented and treats her full-paying clients with respect but if you are thinking of buying a Groupon - do not bother - if your schedule is not carved in stone.
If you bought one, make sure you know this - you are looking at a 3 month waiting list and by then, your voucher will have expired. If you need to reschedule at any time - that is another 3 months. She only takes 2 Groupon appointments a week, which leaves very little wriggle room for real-life interference.

I have been going to Nura now for about a month or so ( 3 treatments) for acupuncture.
I've suffered from chronic migraines and tension headaches my whole life and recently, about 2-3 months ago, my headaches started getting worse. By worse I mean stronger and longer, much longer. I was suffering from headaches at least 4-5 times a week, if not everyday, and it wasn't getting any better. After a doctors visit and the usually " oh let me prescribe you this and that to make them go away temporarily," I finally had had enough of the pills and decided to make a change of my own
