About Heather

Heather Stoddard, MAOM, Lic. Ac., is a graduate of New England School of Acupuncture at MCPHS, the oldest acupuncture program in the U.S., founded in 1974.  

Her undergraduate studies at Northeastern University in Boston focused on Finance and Management Information System where she earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees. Years later, she revisited her passion for healthcare by pursuing a Master’s in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Medicine as an acupuncturist and recognized as a Diplomate of Acupuncture by the National Certification Committee (NCCAOM). She completed the Clean Needle Technique, Mandatory Reporter training, HIPAA compliance training, and Basic Life Support training. 

While at New England School of Acupuncture, Heather completed coursework and clinical rotations with concentrations in Chinese Acupuncture, Orthopedic Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and Cosmetic Acupuncture. Although she is trained to treat many disharmonies, her interests lie in orthopedic or musculoskeletal pain, facial rejuvenation, anxiety, depression and digestive disorders. Heather worked at the Edith Norse VA Hospital in Bedford, treating veterans with chronic pain syndromes. 

During her Masters program, she held the role of President of the Student Association of New England School of Acupuncture. In this role, she hosted quarterly community acupuncture events for students and faculty of MCPHS, as well as networking with other healthcare professions through organization of interprofessional events
