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)

Leanne is a board certified acupuncturist in the state of Washington. She received a Bachelors in Herbal Science and a Masters in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University.

Two years after graduating she moved to the Tacoma/Puyallup area and started her practice. She now splits her time between Sumner and Graham.

She has knowledge of Western as well as Chinese herbal medicine. She also has training in NAET, nutrition and is learning the Myokinesthetic System. Although there's no formal additional training for acupuncturists, Leanne has searched for additional education in Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. She likes working with sufferers of these conditions because they are so complex and very misunderstood.

Her passion in life is to help people live pain free.

I’m Dr. Shannon Freeman, D.Ac., L.Ac., Eastern Medicine Practitioner. I am a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (Ojibwe/Cree/Metis) in Belcourt, ND. My heritage and upbringing are much of why I do what I do. I first became a Certified Nursing Aide in 1992. I then became a Licensed Massage Practitioner studying under Zdenka Daucik, a European physiotherapist who incorporated specific, long-lasting, deep treatment work into her practice. I received my Eastern Medicine Practitioner License in 2013. I recently received my Doctorate of Acupuncture from Five Branches University, researching allopathic and Eastern Medicine treatment of Lyme Disease, Epstein Bar, long-haul post-Covid, and any other treatment protocols using acupuncture and supporting healing methods. I am currently in a two-year Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine Program (D.C.E.M.) awarded by Bian Hua Gong (The Temple of Change and Transformation) Daoist Temple.

The most common patient complaints are pain, emotional issues, fertility, adrenal fatigue, and exhaustion. Through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I provide Chinese medicine diagnoses, acupuncture, and other TCM modalities applicable to the patient’s condition.

My holistic approach includes creating patient-specific ongoing post-treatment goals and recommendations, including nutritional, dietary, lifestyle, and exercise recommendations for orthopedic issues, pain reduction, and improved function. Also, your treatment plan may include meditation and Qi Gong exercises.

I believe that combining Western and Eastern Medicine is optimal for a patient to heal.
