Grain Integrative Health

Testimonials

I learned of Natalie Weintraub after she offered chair massages to help staff at Outside In, a clinic for homeless youth.  At Grain Integrative Health, her treatments have taken me to the next level.  Her work unwound painful ropes of stress in my back and reduced tnesion in what has been one of the most difficult years of my life.  She listens.  She offers solid advice about stretches and how to get the most out of massage sessions even after they end.  Her sensitive touch can detect where seemingly hidden tensions lurk.  But she is also able to apply impressive strength and knowledge of body mechanics for the right level of therapeutic pressure.  She is upbeat, professional and reassuring.  I recommend her highly.

In 2001 my health took a sudden and unexplained downturn. I sought help over the years but was always left with little or no results and the feeling that I was being treated as a collection of symptoms and not as a whole person. My health continued to slowly deteriorate. When I first began receiving treatment from Dr. Kates-Chinoy I was 34 years of age and leading a severely impaired life due to muscle and joint pain, insomnia and extreme fatigue. After the first office visit I was struck by the feeling that I was being considered as more than my symptoms, that I was being considered as a whole person. After a few months of treatment my joint pain began to recede and I could sleep again. For the first time in seven years I felt hope.  My health continues to improve and I now have faith that I will regain my full health. Dr. Kates-Chinoy possesses a combination of knowledge, skill, compassion and insight that I have never before experienced in my search for health. Thank you Dr. Kates-Chinoy for giving me back my life.

Dr. Baum was able to diagnose a chronic pain problem I had had for many years almost immediately upon examining me. She quickly moved to a treatment that gave me noticeable relief the very first day and resulted in a lasting cessation of the pain. Moreover, she explained clearly and thoroughly what she was doing and why and even instructed me on some techniques I could (and have!) practiced at home to support and extend the benefit of her treatment. She has a warm, direct manner which instantly put me at ease and allowed me to feel comfortable asking my many questions without feeling embarrassed. Her impressive and wide-ranging medical knowledge and keen and open mind are augmented by an innate talent as a healer: this combination of learning and natural ability is very rare and part of what makes Dr.Baum stand out from the many other physicians I have seen throughout my life.

As I think of all the qualities I look for in a physician, I realize that I have found a physician who has all of them. Aside from being highly knowledgeable and motivated, Dr. Bonville has a keen intuitive sense, which allows her to quite efficiently assess and treat my current health imbalances. I began seeing Dr. Bonville in order to treat more chronic issues and attain a better state of wellness, but when I was faced with a acute situation, I felt assured that I was going to receive the best care possible. And I did. Dr. Bonville has a true gift of making a person feel comfortable with a great balance of humor, integrity and professionalism. I feel as if she really understands who I am- which allows the healing process to happen more easily. I have been to see many different Naturopathic Physicians over the years, but never did I have the level of confidence in a physician’s medical knowledge and healing abilities until I began seeing Dr. Bonville.
