Services

Acupuncture

Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice effectively addresses various conditions including chronic pain, stress, and hormonal imbalances. Patients experience improved energy flow and symptom reduction through personalized treatment plans.

Herbal Medicine

Custom herbal formulations combine traditional Chinese medicine with Western botanicals to address specific health concerns. These natural remedies support digestive health, hormonal balance, and immune function while complementing other treatments. We prioritize sustainably sourced, high-quality herbs from trusted suppliers.

Microneedling

This advanced facial treatment uses micro-needles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Ideal for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and uneven tone, our microneedling sessions promote youthful, radiant skin through natural regeneration processes and enhanced product absorption.

Specialized treatments combine acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional guidance to optimize reproductive health. We support both natural conception and assisted reproductive technologies through cycle regulation, hormonal balancing, and stress reduction techniques tailored to individual fertility journeys.

Digestive Health

Comprehensive care addresses digestive imbalances through acupuncture, herbal protocols, and dietary recommendations. Our approach identifies and treats root causes of bloating, IBS, and other gastrointestinal issues while promoting overall wellness through improved nutrient absorption and gut microbiome balance.

I started seeing Heather over 10 years ago when I was in graduate school while working full-time and having bouts of stress that were temporary but nearly paralyzing. Receiving treatment from Heather provided the type of relief that was lasting, enabled me to not miss a beat, and miraculously helped me stay balanced in the process. Over the years, I've gone back to Heather for physical ailments (an aching hip negatively impacting my posture), kicking a nasty and pernicious sinus infection, dealing with the side effects of an oddly long lasting and intense yellow fever vaccination, and most recently

I have had digestive issues my whole life. My stomach ailments begin to seep into other parts of my life and health. I eventually reached a breaking point and reached out to Heather Bird after hearing about her from a mutual friend. She could not have come at a better time.
Heather got my stomach set straight! Not only has she been such a wonderful resource and healer, she is a "yes!" person. Since my stomach issues have passed I have returned to her for pregnancy related difficulties and she has continued to be a wealth of information and help. I couldn't recommend Heather bird

I started working with Heather Bird in 2008, and was a devoted client of hers until she took time off to make a beautiful family. She helped me immensely with my liver issues, effectively holding them to near zero levels which I maintained during her absence with the herb regimen she prescribed. She also eased all the aches and pains I had along the way. I am SO GLAD she has returned to practice!

I can now return to seeing her regularly. She is knowledgeable, kind, caring and her treatments are more effective than any other acupuncturist I have ever seen. Her new place is 2 blocks from the Embarcadero

I try to get some sort of restorative work done on my old body at least once a month. I'm not a competitive athlete by any means but, I've always been active and aches/pains/injuries are part of life. Once you get past 30 (and now 40), it becomes part of the active lifestyle routine which means I visit Eva monthly for acupuncture, cupping and a refill on herbs. She's knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. I generally provide a vague meandering description of what's hurting and she somehow knows exactly what to do next. She provides not only a treatment while I&apos
