Heather Older, L.Ac. is our newest acupuncturist. She will be starting our new Sunday shift beginning next weekend. Here is a little more about Heather:
Heather Sarah Older, MS, L.Ac.
Formerly of the Integrative Medicine Group at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Heather
earned her Master of Science degree at American College of Traditional Chinese
Medicine in San Francisco, California. She is also a nationally recognized Diplomat of
Acupuncture. Upon graduation she continued with an advanced two year apprenticeship
in Japanese style acupuncture with a concentration in women’s health and well being.
She also holds a Bachelor of Fine Art with honors from Syracuse University.
Heather strives to develop an intuitive needling approach using meridian style
acupuncture. Along with techniques from Master Tung and Richard Tan, Heather
continues to travel to New York City to study Classical Chinese acupuncture with 88 th
generation Taoist Master Jeffrey Yuen.
Heather enjoys spending as much time as possible in nature and carries this intention
with her into her practice. Big Sur and the wild northern Sonoma Coast are two places
she loves to draw meditative energy from. Additionally, she is dedicated to her practice
of Kundalini Yoga and is looking forward to Yoga Teacher Training with Gurmukh in
Rishikesh, India in 2013.
Heather is dedicated to the community acupuncture model and is delighted to provide
thoughtful, compassionate care at Costa Acupuncture. With careful consideration she
helps her patients understand and identify their own vibrant, natural health.
