Heather Galloway, MS, EAMP, L.Ac. is a East Asian Medicine Practitioner and Board Certified Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist in Washington state.

Heather is passionate about natural medicine and the finding harmony within. Her journey into acupuncture started in 1999 when she suffered from debilitating digestive issues that frequently would land her in the doctor's office or the hospital. With test after test and no diagnosis given, she was left frustrated and in chronic pain. She sought out the help of a skilled acupuncturist and, after four treatments, her acupuncturist helped her determine what the root cause of her problem was and thus began her healing and transformation.

As a practitioner her main goal is to help others see themselves holistically and to create the path to wellness they deserve. The healing process can be difficult at times, but identifying the root of a problem combined with the support and guidance from acupuncture and Chinese medicine can lead to restoring the overall balance of the body.

Heather received her Master's Degree of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and her Bachelor of Science in Natural Health Sciences from Bastyr University. She is a NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) Board Certified Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist. Her clinical experience includes:

Bastyr Center for Natural Health (Seattle, WA)
Chronic Fatigue Clinic, Harborview Medical Center (Seattle, WA)
International Clinic, Harborview Medical Center (Seattle, WA)
Chengdu University of TCM Hospital (Chengdu, China)

I have been in practice for over 16 years. I am currently practicing in Saguaro Clinic and specialize in pain relief, working with Veterans on a variety of emotional and physical health issues, elder care, cancer treatment support and fertility support. I have 40 years of experience in herbal and nutritional supplement use, including extensive training in Chinese Herbs and Homeopathic remedies.

I combine a variety of acupuncture techniques with nutritional and lifestyle counseling to support your journey to health. I use a stress reduction tool called the BioscanSRT and a cold laser for a needle-free acupuncture experience.

I also use the Bioscan MSA device, a computerized analysis measuring frequencies from acupuncture meridians on the body. A flat probe is used on the fingers and toes to obtain these readings. Since the acupuncture meridians have pathways to organs alongside the nervous system, we can use this method to reach our goal: a balanced system that responds appropriately to stress and increased health.

A reading of 50 indicates that the organ/meridan is balanced. Readings above or below 50 indicate that a chronic or inflammatory process going on with the organ/meridian. Acupuncture, whole food nutrition, homeopathics, and herbal remedies are used to bring the body into balance once again. This is a comprehensive program for health which requires a commitment to making certain lifestyle changes and regular treatment.

I enjoy what I do and hope you will join us at Saguaro Clinic for support in your continuing journey toward perfect health.
