After graduating in 2007  with a degree in Pedagogy and Gender Studies, Heather chose to move to Vashon.  She yearned for the idyllic small-town community as a remedy to growing up in the concrete jungle of the Bay Area.  Over the years, she’s become deeply embedded in the community, personally and professionally.  She is a member of the Vashon Rotary Club, and contributes to many Vashon non-profits, like the Vashon Food Bank, Dove Project and Women’s Way Red Lodge.  In her position at the bank, she uses her heart and mind to serve the financial and business needs of the Vashon community, and seeks to empower people financially, supporting their potential.

  My name is Joleen Black and I am thrilled to be starting my new practice here on Vashon Island!  With a combined 30 years of experience in the Massage Therapy and Acupuncture fields, I bring a wealth of knowledge to address a wide variety of health concerns. Beyond my extensive experience in treating musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, tendonitis, postural dysfunctions, sports injuries and chronic headaches, I have also achieved significant success in helping individuals manage anxiety, PTSD, insomnia and chronic fatigue. In my treatments, I utilize a combination of Acupuncture and Massage techniques including cupping and moxibustion to get people feeling better as fast as possible.  I often refer people to other practitioners and modalities when it is needed. I pride myself on being 100% committed to each patients recovery and if I'm not the best person for the job, I will let you know. It is an honor to be a part of your healing journey!
