Depression, Anxiety &
Mental Health
Acupuncture is a safe, natural therapy that helps regulate the body’s stress and emotional systems. It works by calming the nervous system, improving sleep, and supporting the brain’s natural ability to rebalance mood. Many patients use acupuncture alongside counseling or medication, and it can also be helpful on its own for mild to moderate symptoms. A review of studies showed that even when compared to typical pharmacotherapy, acupuncture is efficacious as a treatment for depression after four weeks of intervention, with few side effects and adverse reactions.
Chronic Pain & Illness
Acupuncture is a time-tested, all-natural, holistic practice that can help to decrease pain and restore the body’s normal function. In addition to decreasing pain, acupuncture is also helpful in treating internal conditions such as digestive disorders, anxiety and much more. We specialize in hard to treat pain conditions and illnesses. Our practice is supported by studies that show acupuncture provides improvement in specific chronic pains like back pain and knee pain compared to usual medical care.
In the early post-operative period after surgical procedures like knee replacements, acupuncture can be beneficial for reducing pain, nausea and vomiting. Used as a supplementary treatment, acupuncture can support early rehabilitation and improve function of the joint.
Women’s Health & Fertility Support
At Saha Health Kirkland we offer customized, comprehensive, easy-to-follow fertility treatment plans, designed to naturally increase your chances of conceiving and carrying a pregnancy to full-term. We see patients who work with us exclusively or alongside their assisted reproductive technology (ART) including in-vitro fertilization (IVF). In addition, acupuncture can help with common causes of infertility like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and endometriosis. Research shows that patients who incorporate acupuncture into their fertility journey have a higher success rate of getting pregnant.
Neuropathy
Diabetes neuropathy pain is a common complication affecting one-third of diabetics, causing intermittent or continuous pain in their arms, legs, hands and feet for which standard pharmacological treatments are not always successful. Long-standing neuropathy is associated with anxiety and depression, issues with sleeping and poor quality of life. Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective in improving clinical neuropathy as well as pain related to diabetes.
Insomnia &
Sleep Disorders
Acupuncture is one of the most widely used integrative therapies for insomnia and sleep disorders like sleep maintenance issues, and stress-related sleep disruption. It can be used alone or alongside behavioral therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes. It has proved beneficial in improving sleep quality and quality of life among patients with specific diseases like Parkinson's.
Heather was so great keeping me at ease and fully explaining what our session would be like. I had minor hesitation about acupuncture and cupping but not only was she informative and professional, the whole process was amazing! I experienced pain relief and a level of relaxation that is rare. Thank you Heather!

I went to Heather for a mild concussion, severe neck pain and moderate stomach problems. In one session, my concussion was nearly gone! In a couple sessions, my neck pain was gone too. She did acupuncture on my neck and used a machine called ATP Resonance Biotherapy for my concussion. She also prescribed me herbs for my stomach aches and they are helping tremendously. I have been coming to Heather for a couple months now and so far everything she has done has helped. I've been to other Acupuncturists, but I think Heather has a better sense of overall holistic health than most people. I definitely recommend her.

Heather is the best acupuncturist I’ve ever experienced. Just the day after my first appointment with her I was noticing positive differences within my body. She is so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and I’m very glad she’s working with me.

I really had no idea what to expect being a first timer to acupuncture and I do have to say, it was much different than I expected. However, Heather spent a lot of time asking me questions and understanding my needs. She's super knowledgeable on Chinese medicine and highly recommend seeing her.

The office is very professional, clean, calming and friendly. Heather’s knowledge and skill is top of her profession and she made me feel so comfortable. I am from out of town and was referred to her for a flare up of my shoulder pain and after a single session, my pain was reduced to nothing!! I highly recommend Heather for her phenomenal care.

Seeing Heather has truly been life changing for me! I'm a nurse and it took me many years to finally decide to see an acupuncturist. I struggle with anxiety and migraines, after seeing specialist after specialist, diet changes, medications, and many ER visits. I figured why not try acupuncture out after all it won't hurt anything. I was to the point of having migraines weekly, after 1 month of visits with Heather my migraines are down to once a month and my anxiety literally gone! I'm having a hard time accepting that acupuncture could leave such an incredible impact on my life but it truly has! I can't believe how free I feel without anxiety crippling my every day. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted and I can breathe again! Thank you Heather for your amazing care!

I went to Heather for acupuncture as a last resort for chronic pain and walked out wishing I would have come in 20 years ago! After a single visit my pain was reduced significantly, I could walk with a proper gait, and I was no longer in constant pain. I highly recommend Kirkland Acupuncture!

Heather is a miracle worker! I had a number of non-specific symptoms and issues and went to doctor after doctor looking for answers. I also had searing shoulder pain, which prevented me from playing sports in the manner in which I’m used to playing. Finally, I took the acupuncture route and I wish I would have gone much sooner! Heather never gave up looking for the ROOT CAUSE of what was going on as opposed to MDs who wanted to prescribe a pill for every symptom. She also recommended herbs that, along with regular acupuncture, I feel I have my life back. Additionally, I appreciated the high level of communication she always provided through all channels.

If you’ve ever thought about trying or starting acupuncture do yourself a favor and go and see Heather. She is absolutely incredibly knowledgeable. For YEARS, I’ve promised myself that I would try acupuncture and never did...up until finding Heather two months ago. She is extremely informative in all of the many layers of acupuncture and other treatments. I had no idea my body and mind could reap so many of the benefits that they are since seeing her. Absolutely amazing and I’m only sorry I didn’t find her sooner.

I am happy to recommend Heather for her expert acupuncture services! My first experience with acupuncture was in Hong Kong where I lived for 10 years. I had just come over from the U.S. and was experiencing symptoms that western medicine could not explain or help. Eastern medicine and acupuncture was the only therapy that helped me. It has been quite profound and helpful to discover the benefits of acupuncture. Heather has helped continue to support my health and well-being with her extensive knowledge of eastern medicine and innate intuition for the body and health. Heather has help support my body and bring relief for stress, anxiety, menstrual symptoms, digestive issues, everyday energy regulation, boosting my immunity and helping to clear my mild psoriasis symptoms. I am very grateful for Heather and her support!
