Natasha Colburn, LAc

Portland Acupuncturist

Kiiko Style Acupuncture

"Natasha has been practicing acupuncture since 1999. She currently has been using Kiiko Style, which uses specific palpation techniques to determine the deeper structural and constitutional imbalances which may underlie a patient’s symptoms."

About Natasha Colburn

Schedule with Natasha

Natasha has been practicing acupuncture happily since 1999. She treats all manner of conditions with a variety of techniques including acupuncture, massage, gua sha, cupping and herbal medicine.

She is very excited to have studied Kiiko Style Acupuncture with Kiiko Matsumoto and Monica Kobylecka. Kiiko Style uses specific palpation techniques to determine the deeper structural and constitutional imbalances which may underlie a patient’s symptoms. Treating the deeper levels, along with the symptoms, helps to cut through complex problems and brings a more complete and lasting healing. Patients (and she!) are often amazed and delighted at the immediate changes that can be felt during a treatment.

When not at the clinic, she may be seen around Sellwood, walking Lucy the Three-Legged Dog with her brilliant son and superhero husband. She loves good food with good friends, eggbeaters, art and a knitting project to lose herself in. Her most recent project involves learning and reciting the entire Star Wars Saga because her kid, for some reason, must know the details, though the movies are too scary for him watch.

Conditions Commonly Treated

  • Emotional Health: stress, anxiety, life transitions, depression, PTSD, and the emotional component of chronic pain and/or disease
  • Sexual Health: low libido, pregnancy and post partum health, fertility enhancement for men & women, PMS, hormonal shifts
  • Digestive Health: Acid reflux/GERD, IBS, constipation/diarrhea, diverticulitis, nausea, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s.
  • Immune System: Asthma, recurring infections or viral pathogens, autoimmune diseases, cancer treatment support
  • Pain Conditions: Headache/ migraine, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, numbness, back pain/disc problems, neck pain, motor vehicle accidents

What My Patients Say

In October I was in a horrible car accident. I ended up with whiplash in three places, one in my neck and two in my upper back. After three months of physical therapy and 16 ibuprofen a day, I came to the conclusion that at 53 years oldI might just have to live with the pressure and pain for the rest of my life…[After acupuncture] I felt relief after the first week…I look forward to the gardening I love and feeling painless. Thanks Natasha for giving me back my pain-free health.

 

–Car accident patient

The neurosurgeon said I had two weeks before I had to have back surgery to avoid nerve damage. After three treatments, I got up from the table and realized the pain was gone! I actually wept with relief. I’m really glad I came in . The acupuncture has allowed me the chance to heal without surgery.

–Back pain patient

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine used to be a place I would turn when my primary care provider was unable to address my concerns. After seeing Natasha, I now think of her first.

 

–Natasha’s patient

Tasha has been my caregiver for the last 6 years, she is not only an excellent acupuncturist, she is also a wonderful person. I refer many of my patients to her and all of them share the same opinion. I highly recommend Tasha not only as a patient but as a physician who has seen the benefits and excellent results that she has achieved with patients that I have referred to her.

 

–Natasha’s patient

Natasha is AMAZING! I was a little skeptical at first to try acupuncture but after many months of daily chronic headaches I was ready to try anything. I am soooo happy to share that my daily headaches are no more and I feel like I can’t thank her enough for the incredible work she’s done. Natasha cares so much about her clients and is very personable. I HIGHLY recommend Natasha for all of your acupuncture services.

☀️ Why we prefer mineral-based sunscreen over chem ☀️ Why we prefer mineral-based sunscreen over chemical-based sunscreen.

Mineral > chemical, & here’s why:

Pros of Mineral-based sunscreen (zinc oxide + titanium dioxide).

✅ Physically blocks UV rays instantly (no 20 min wait), unlike chemical sunscreen which need time to absorb 
✅ Gentler on sensitive & acne-prone skin. Less prone to build-up + skin reactions.
✅ It’s broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage that doesn’t break down in the sun, so doesn’t need to be reapplied as often 
✅ It’s reef-safe & better for the environment

Flip the bottle & look for these active ingredients: 🔍 Zinc Oxide 🔍 Titanium Dioxide

If you see oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, or homosalate instead, you’re looking at a chemical formula.

Take home message 📢

if you’re able to be picky, choose mineral. But if chemical-based is the only option, any sunscreen beats no sunscreen when you’re having fun in the sun. ☀️

Protect the skin you move in. 💪

We have a tendency to blame aging for our skin. W We have a tendency to blame aging for our skin.  Well guess what? ⤵️

Most of what you think is getting older is actually sun damage. Up to 80% of “skin aging”

👉🏼 fine lines
👉🏼wrinkles
👉🏼agespots
👉🏼 leathery texture
👉🏼new tones and textures 

 is actually Photoaging. UV damage.  Sun. ☀️

Look at your skin on your face, your forearms and your hands and compare it to the skin on your inner thigh or your bicep.  That’s the difference between sun exposed and sun protected skin. 

But we still have good news. 

Sun damage can be treated and sometimes reversed. 

Daily SPF can help and decrease the chances of additional damage and exposure. 

See sun damaged you want to treat?  We’re here to help. 
Services that help reverse the damage:

💡Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Facial 
👸Golden Hour Facial 
💉Microneedling with or without PRF (depends on age, goals & degree of damage)

@drbrittanykrake and @ryanminarik served as instructors at the Integrative Medicine event with @apex_biologix, training the next generation of Naturopathic and Functional Medicine physicians in the art and science of Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine.

@drbinshaieg was there too — deepening her expertise in musculoskeletal ultrasound, image-guided injections, and PRP preparation to optimize patient outcomes.

Your FoRM team is out living it — hiking, hitting the coast, water activities, and all the outdoor sports the beautiful PNW has to offer. 🌊⛳🥾

☀️ Summer is here — and so are summer injuries. Y ☀️ Summer is here — and so are summer injuries.

You finally are getting back to the activities you love the most: hiking, running, sports, gardening + more — and then your body starts talking back.

Summer is one of the busiest seasons we see at FoRM, and it’s not a coincidence. Ramping up activity after months of being more house-bound can add up to real strain on your joints, spine, tendons + muscles.

Here are the injuries we see most this season + why:

🦶 Ankle sprains & strains — uneven terrain on a trail hike or run and a spontaneous soccer game + pickleball match, can really test your ankle stability.

🦵 Runner’s Knee — IT Band and patellar issues flare up as hikers, cyclists, and runners push their limits during the longer, sunnier days.

⚠️ Achilles Injury- one of the more common Weekend Warrior injuries; sudden lunging + acceleration into a sprint, put more load than the Achilles can handle.

🎾 Tennis & golfer’s elbow — repetitive gripping + compounded overloading of the joint, inflame the tendons around the elbow

💪 Rotator Cuff Injuries — volleyball, tennis, and swimming put recurrent strain on the muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint.

🌿 Low back pain — yard-work and weekend warrior activities that involve a lot of core strength and stability before your body is ready, can stress your spine.

👟 Plantar fasciitis — more time on your feet + unsupportive footwear = inflamed and stressed plantar fascia

The good news? Most of these are treatable — and preventable.

📍 If something’s been nagging you, don’t wait it out. We’re here.#formhealth #formhealthpdx #movebetter #injuryprevention #summerfun

In a healthcare system that chases symptoms, acupu In a healthcare system that chases symptoms, acupuncturists read the pattern beneath it.

Where energy moves freely. Where it stalls. Where it’s blocked. The needle’s precision releases stagnation and restores flow through the channels that connect every system in your body.

Hormones. Stress + Sleep. Allergies + Immunity. Digestion + Detox. Blood flow + Lymph

The needle helps restore movement and flow, calms the nervous system, and reminds your body what it already knows how to do.

Demands on your body change with the seasons ☀️🕶️ Demands on your body change with the seasons ☀️🕶️

Longer days, increased physical activity, environmental allergens, and elevated sun exposure can strain your system — often outpacing what diet, hydration and supplements can address.

IV Therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract for ~100% bioavailability. 

The result: faster cellular uptake and a more efficient response than oral alternatives.

At FoRM Health, our Boost formulations are designed to provide a jumpstart for those feeling depleted. 

Our most popular Spring and Summer Boost IVs include:

⚡️Energy Boost — B vitamins, vitamin C and key minerals to support cellular energy production + reduce fatigue

🤧 Immune Boost — high-dose vitamin C and antioxidants to reinforce immune defenses during allergy and cold/flu season

🧠 Brain Boost — Magnesium, amino acids and B vitamins to support cognitive function, improve mental clarity + mood

🤢 Detox Boost — glutathione, amino acids and B vitamins to aid the body’s natural detoxification pathways

💪 Performance Boost — amino acids, electrolytes and B vitamins to support endurance, strength, + pre-activity preparation

😅 Recovery Boost — electrolytes, vitamin C and antioxidants to support post-exertion muscle recovery, hydration, + inflammation-modulation.

Each session is administered by our Naturopathic Doctors in a comfortable + monitored setting.

Schedule with our IV specialists - Dr. Caitlan Readhead and Dr. Jessica Binshaieg to get the Boost you need.
