FEES | WHAT IS JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE | WHAT IS FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE | TESTIMONIALS

Heather Sarah Older, MS, Dipl.Ac., L.Ac.
California Licensed Acupuncturist
By appointment only 310-497-4784

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 Diplomate 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 provides minimal-insertion ('painless') acupuncture needle technique along with nutritional counseling, direct moxibustion, and herbal remedies for her patients.

Additionally, Heather is certified in cosmetic acupuncture and provides acupuncture facial rejuvenation (the “acupuncture facelift”) to help eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin radiant and youthful.

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. With careful consideration she helps her patients understand and identify their own vibrant, natural health.
