Heather Arelliano-Robles journey to study Traditional Chinese Medicine started in her youth. She grew up around a very diverse population with many varied facets of life. A great joy was also working with her mother in the family garden. Heather’s love of plants fostered her undergraduate studies at the American College of Healthcare Sciences with a focus on Herbal Medicine and Wellness Consulting. Heather decided to further her education by attending the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). She received a Diplomat of Acupuncture from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in 2021. Heather shone while working in Providence hospital’s oncology department with patients having chemotherapy and radiation for numerous cancer conditions. She has worked with many diversified health conditions ranging from neurological, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, vision, TMD, behavioral health, and seasonal changes.
Heather’s practice style provides pain relief, comfort, compassion, and balance between mind, body, and soul. She chooses the best approach for each individual’s treatment experience by offering varied modalities; traditional Chinese acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture, Teishin for needle sensitive patients, energetic, tuina, shiatsu, cupping, gua sha, and herbal liniments or formulas.
