Heather McIver graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, CO. She opened Stillpoint Acupuncture in 2001 and has been thrilled to see the popularity of Chinese Medicine grow since then. A major influence on her practice was her two-year course of study with Lonny Jarrett, author of Nourishing Destiny: The Inner Tradition of Chinese Medicine, and nationally recognized authority on integrating both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture into a cohesive practice style. Heather has made two trips to Beijing, China where she learned from accomplished doctors of acupuncture. Heather’s true love is Chinese Herbal Medicine. In 2014 she completed a two-year advanced Graduate Mentorship Program with Sharon Weizenbaum. In 2015, she began studying with Dr. Feng Shi Lun and to this day continues that study with his student, Dr. Suzanne Robidoux. In 2019, she completed Dr. Robidoux’s two-year Jing Fang Classical formulas course and became a lineage holder in the Hu Xi Shu / Feng Shi Lun Six Syndrome System understanding of the use of Zhang Zhong Jing classical herbal formulas. This system provides a clear diagnostic process and understanding of the formulas that she has found produces faster and more profound results.
Heather holds a BA in Religious Studies from Guilford College, and a Masters in Health Education from the University of NC at Greensboro in addition to her MSOM. Heather is the mother of two children and enjoys writing, reading and good food!
