Acupuncture aims to both maintain health and treat disease. It is carried out by placing fine needles at specific points on the body called acupuncture points. These needles are as thin as a hair, sterile and disposed of after a single use. Once the needles are in place people experience a range of different sensations. These vary between a warm, tingling sensation and a light, dull ache. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years and has been shown to improve circulation, decrease swelling, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and promote tissue repair.

Prior to receiving an education in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, Heather served in various capacities of conventional medicine within the Navy for 8 years. She was involved with direct military patient care for the Marines and Sailors at Camp Pendleton, Twentynine Palms, Okinawa, and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was during this time that she realized that while modern medicine had broad and fascinating capabilities: it was not a complete treatment program. Heather discovered her passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine and found that it offered effective natural treatment methods for patients. Through the use of acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbal remedies, nutritional advice, and meditation guidance she hopes to empower all of her patients to become masters of their own physical and mental well-being.
