Personalized Care, Informed by Decades of Practice
Personalized Care, Informed by Decades of Practice

I’m Dr. Heather George, OMD, LAc, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and master‑level Yoga Therapist with over 20 years of experience in hands‑on and remote, whole‑person care.

My work blends classical East Asian medicine with bodywork, breath practices, somatic therapies, nutritional and herbal strategies, acu-therapies, and other modalities. Sessions are tailored to support a wide range of needs, from chronic or complex health concerns to alignment, recovery, performance, and overall vitality.

Some people come to me navigating layered medical histories and seeking integrative support. Others are healthy, active, and simply want a higher level of care than traditional massage or general yoga instruction can provide. I work just as comfortably with athletes seeking deeply therapeutic bodywork, as I do with those seeking doctor‑level care around serious health challenges.

Sessions are available in person at our beautiful Old Town Basalt Sanctuary, by Zoom, or through house calls in the Aspen Valley. Many people choose to combine in‑person and remote sessions for continuity and flexibility.

All services are offered in exchange for donations to The Lotus Way, a 501c3 nonprofit I direct. This organization offers regular community services and educational programs with missions focused on trauma and addiction recovery, as well as teaching regenerative practices to individuals living with the leading causes of blindness. Our work together gets paid forward in many vital ways.

If you’re curious, you’re welcome to reach out, schedule a session, or refer someone you love. I look forward to working together.

"My ability to play competitive tennis in my 80s is due to incredible healing treatments from Heather. Persistent knee pain has disappeared and the prospect of knee surgery is off the table. I also now have relief from bunion pain by helping with realignment and keeping my wrists flexible for play as an added benefit."

Wrist Pain - One session
Wrist Pain - One session

"I’ve only seen Dr. George for one session but she was able to resolve severe chronic pain in my wrist from mountain biking and uphill backcountry skiing. My wrist has hurt everyday for the past five years and the mobility was severely limited. I’m not going to lie, the manipulation she did on my wrist (and elbow!) was VERY uncomfortable but after our session it felt 90% better and the mobility was almost fully restored. She gave me techniques to work on at home for 5 minutes a day and I’m gobsmacked. Less than a week later I’m at 100%. I look forward to booking a session for my shoulder next. She’s like an Old Testament prophet. Powerful medicine."

Pregnancy and Stress
Pregnancy and Stress

Dr George came into my life 5 years ago. I was searching for better alternative to modern medicine that I felt had failed me my entire life. During my first session, I immediately started feeling better. I felt more balanced, grounded, at ease, stronger, and overall healthier. I remember walking out of the session and realizing there were so many beautiful flowers around that I had not noticed before, and I was able to feel grounded, centered, and present. I felt so comforted knowing I had her support and guidance throughout my pregnancy and now for my daughter. It was refreshing to feel that I was able to help my symptoms and have guidance that I felt was strengthening both of us that didn’t require medications. I look forward to her visits to WV, but am always comforted knowing wherever she is, she is always a phone call or zoom call away to help! In the last 5 years, I have had the joy of seeing my family and friends also enjoy the benefis of Dr George’s amazing talents and knowledge. Heather has truly become part of our family and we feel so grateful for her

Knee Pain
Knee Pain

"My knee was bone-on-bone and excruciating for years. Surgery was the only option remaining, until I had ONE session with Dr George and experienced nothing short of a miracle. 1.5 years later, no drugs, no surgery, and most important... no pain!"

"After decades of chronic neuropathy, Dr. George did a very thorough intake session with me, then followed up with a few suggestions to adjust my diet. Within weeks the neuropathy was gone. Within a few months, I started losing weight. 30 pounds came off, and stayed off."

Reproductive Health
Reproductive Health

"Taking the opportunity to review Dr. Heather George is genuinely both an honor and a great privilege. A little bit of background: I came to Dr. Heather after discontinuing birth control, which I had been on for 10 years, ending in December 2021. It had been over a year and a half, and my period had not returned despite visiting multiple doctors, fertility clinics, chiropractors, and undergoing various hormone and progesterone courses. Nothing seemed to work. My partner and I are eager to take steps in life together and ultimately start a family, making this situation all the more concerning.

When I began working with Dr. Heather, I had a "nothing to lose" attitude. Having exhausted numerous options, and while I had never tried acupuncture and eastern medicine before, I had reached a point where nothing else seemed effective. I was somewhat skeptical initially, but Dr. Heather sat down with me and developed a comprehensive plan that involved lifestyle changes, herbal treatments, nervous system adjustments, and acupuncture with the goal of bringing my period back within 6-8 weeks. Given my two years of disappointment, you can imagine the skepticism I felt, but Dr. Heather assured me that together we could awaken my body's suppressed functions, which had been affected by over a decade of hormonal birth control use.

We met weekly, and my body began to crave her treatments. We started slowly and gradually increased the intensity week after week. To the surprise of many, myself included, six weeks later, I experienced my first period in years without any external assistance. To say I am overjoyed would be an extreme understatement. Dr. Heather not only restored my period and the opportunity for traditional conception but also introduced me to a practice and perspective for interacting with the world that feels like the greatest gift I could ask for. I am so grateful for Dr. Heather’s presence in my life. If I can share my experience with you or someone considering a similar journey, I ask you to please reach out! I would be honored to share more with you on how much Dr. Heather’s work is impacting my life for the better!"

Long-term, weekly video-calls, trans care, chronic dis-ease
Long-term, weekly video-calls, trans care, chronic dis-ease

I can say that Heather is a fantastic health coach, a meaningful listener and emotional guide, a very wise and compassionate soul with full honesty. However, the impression I had of Heather from our very first meeting, which means even more than those, is that I felt loved. I really did. Our first meeting, which was even on video, I felt a radiant warmth that assured me that I, as an individual being on this great green earth, mattered. Since then Heather has served a number of roles in my life; as a health advocate helping me navigate trans healthcare, as a health coach for several dramatic chronic conditions, as a professional mentor, and also as a genuine friend.
The only caution I have in recommending Heather’s incredible expertise is this: Be prepared to cut a lot of bullshit. While absolutely wreathed in kindness, you will not have her help for long without being led into one’s emotional shadows, where so much physical healing lies. I have grown as much in my association with Heather in the last few years as the rest of my herbal and alt-health education combined, and I have felt supported in a deeply personal way the entire time. I’ve gotten to enjoy a journey going from a sick and scared person dealing with unconquerable health crises, to a budding healing practitioner with the intense privilege to call Heather my friend and senior colleague. I thank all the spirits that led this blessed and gifted healer into my life, and I encourage anyone seeking not just fixes, but the healing within healing at the deepest level, to welcome her into your life as well.

Addiction Recovery & Pain management

Heather has been working with me and my family since 2012, before I got sober. There is no way I can list all the powerful lessons she has bestowed upon myself and my family. Every day I work to abide by the things she has taught me since the moment that we met. I honestly can't imagine what my life, my marriage, and my children's and even grandchildren's lives would be like without the support Heather... now Dr. George... has poured into us. I thought getting sober was the hardest thing I would ever face (but did, with her by my side), and then I faced my child's struggles with addiction (again Heather was right there), and then I faced cancer (Heather was the first person I called after diagnosis).
Heather has been with us every step of the way. Very few find their way into the sanctum of our family and home. But with her, we all felt safe and able to be vulnerable and willing to follow her wisdom and guidance.
Wherever you are, and whatever you are going through, trust me when I say that this woman will be an asset to you and your loved ones.

4 years of consistent care
4 years of consistent care

"I had suffered from constipation for about 10 years. Over the counter meds were only partially helping. Taking medication for this for the rest of my life was not appealing. After a yoga class, I was talking to a friend who recommended Dr. George. I was a little hesitant since I had never had acupuncture before. But, my first visit was amazing, and I've been seeing Dr George for almost 4 years now. I'm a firm believer that the human body can heal itself given the right circumstances. Dr George assists with that. She prescribed some herbs that are helping to heal my gut. Provided acupuncture to alleviate pain from shingles. Her kind demeanor and concern for my overall well-being is refreshing and a great example for the rest of the medical world!"

Clearing blocks to clear pain and cysts
Clearing blocks to clear pain and cysts

"I highly recommend Dr. George’s work. She has helped me tremendously in ways I can’t describe. One thing that has stuck with me is when I had a small cyst at the base of my left middle finger that needed surgery. After I had a few treatments with Dr. G, it disappeared. I asked her how this is possible and she said, “clear the channels and the blockages remove themselves.” Amazing! It is a true blessing to be pain free."
