Mount Airy Community Acupuncture offers sliding scale treatment in an open setting.

In 8 years of practice I have mastered treating diverse health issues, specializing in acute and chronic pain relief, digestive issues, women's health (fertility and menstrual issues) anxiety, allergies, migraines, insomnia, and fatigue. I am persistent, caring, thorough, and my unwavering desire to heal my patients has 100% success! By incorporating a variety of effective modalities including acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, supplements, nutrition and herbs, my treatments offer immediate relief, long-lasting results, and a deeper understanding of the source of the issue. Therefore my patients may resolutely apply the wellness tools that I provide to strengthen their future health.
My expertise in the specialized Kiiko Style of Acupuncture, a holistic method of diagnosis and treatment, allows me to precisely pinpoint the root cause of a particular issue. This method, coupled with my expertise in Chinese medicine, allows me to relieve and resolve most any health ailment.
I offer uniquely effective pain-free treatments, and ongoing consultations including nutritional and lifestyle guidance. My confidence and knowledge will help alleviate your pain, heal what ails you, and bring balance to your life. You will leave my office feeling relaxed, renewed, and vibrantly healthy.

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)
