Heather Moore, LAc

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Heather Moore is outstanding and I would strongly recommend her for your acupuncture needs.
I injured my back doing cross fit in addition to probably a bunch of other bad habits. I’d never been to an acupuncturist before and was pretty skeptical going to one. I was referred to Heather by my wife. So glad I went. Have gone several times now and feel much better.
OFFICE
==========
Convenient location in quirky and fun downtown Fairfax. Quiet office despite being right off the Fairfax main strip and next to a lot of retail.

SERVICE
======
Heather Moore is an experienced professional with a good «bedside manner». She is thorough in her assessments and brilliant in the execution of her treatment plans. Her treatment plan complements the other activities and treatments I have. She is in sync with my rheumatologist (I have arthritis) and my chiropractor (Dr. Nadine in Corte Madera, also excellent). It’s a multi-​faceted treatment plan involving a lot more than needles all over your skin ;)
Heather also knows quite a bit about eastern alternative medicines and therapies.

RESULTS
======
Big improvement in my back, my mood and my energy in general. I’ve had several consultations after some serious back pains, mostly due to cross fit. The punchline is that my pain is gone and I feel much better overall.

PRICE /​VALUE
=======
It isn’t cheap but isn’t exorbitantly expensive either. I’ll just say that it’s worth it!
It’s noteworthy that I don’t feel like she is sucking every nickel out of me by unnecessary treatments /​visits.

TIP
=======
— Be open minded to acupuncture as a treatment /​therapy option. If you choose to go down this path give Heather a call.

All acupuncturists are not created equal. I have been to my share– some were bad, some were good, and just a couple were excellent. Heather falls into this last category.
Not only is Heather skilled at her trade, she is sensitive, caring, and intuitive, and constantly working to improve her already in-​depth knowledge of acupuncture and herbology through seminars and study. Truly touching is the way Heather continues to think about her clients’ issues on her own time, outside of their appointments. A stool test revealed that through careful thought she accurately diagnosed a candida overgrowth that had been troubling me and baffling MD’s for over two years.
The icing in the cake is that Heather is a pleasure to spend time with, so visits are both physically and emotionally healing. Between her knowledge, determination, and genuinely caring nature, she can help guide you down your personal path to wellness. Best of luck with your healing!

When I went to see Heather, I had never had an acupuncture treatment and really knew little about it. (I just knew what most people who haven’t had it know. there are needles involved.) She welcomed me and took a very thorough history, unlike any I’ve had taken from either «western style» or more alternative/​complementary practitioners. She seemed to know exactly what to focus on in asking the questions. Then we got to the needle part… it was actually comfortable, in an odd way. Again, Heather knew the spots that needed the most attention. There was one area that felt hot, as if energy was being released. I wondered if I was imagining it, but over the next day or so I really felt the difference in some areas of my body that haven’t been so good for quite a while.
I am going back to see her very soon, as that was a few months ago, but we have spoken since and she has directed me toward some very helpful Chinese herbs.
Heather is someone who inspires confidence with her knowledge and her kind but no-​nonsense demeanor. (My favorite attitude in anyone who is partnering with me in health care stuff.)
She is especially good with women’s issues: endometriosis, candida, etc.
Yay, Heather!
