Heidi's Overall Philosophy for People’s Health Care...

"I believe that it is important to consult healthcare providers for care and recommendations. While acupuncture and herbal medicine are great for relieving symptoms, it also works at the root of the problem, and at the whole, connected picture. How is your energy? Are you stressed? Do you sleep at night? While these issues can’t be resolved with one magic acupuncture treatment, they can be improved with diet, lifestyle, and exercise recommendations combined with acupuncture and herbs. I also believe that acupuncture is part of a lifelong commitment to good health. I am willing to work with you in your own personal goals, whether it’s relief of symptoms, or more."

Heidi is married to Jesse Vaughn together they have two children, Natasha & John and two cats. Their family are members of St. Andrew Fool-for-Christ Serbian Orthodox Church in Redding, CA. Heidi's other interests and hobbies include: time with family and friends, camping, hiking, and gardening.  She is currently learning to fish, sew, and knit.
