Heather Hiniker has been a successful entrepreneur for most of her adult life. In 2007, after having been a top-producing account executive in the mortgage industry for over a decade, Heather decided it was time to go into business for herself and cofounded an extremely successful mobile tire company. She is a founder and was CEO of Rubber On Wheels Inc., for over 3 years before selling her share to her partner in 2010.

It wasn’t until Heather was diagnosed with a progressive and deteriorating autoimmune disease that she found her true passion and path in natural adaptation methodologies. After attaining remission for her Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis with these holistic therapies, Heather opened what is now the nation’s leading human optimization facility. Her vision is clearly reflected when visiting Ascent in Newport Beach… it is no coincidence that her personal health struggles fuel her passion to share these cutting-edge technologies with the world.

Heather frequently speaks at and attends many local sports performance and endurance events. She has been quoted in Men’s Journal, The Orange County Register and Vice Magazine. She is also a trained and certified Nexalin (Advanced Brain Therapy) technician, CVAC Systems Administrator, and BEMER (Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation) specialist. Heather is often referred to as a visionary, although she would disagree…. She simply believes she has “found her purpose and is grateful for the journey that has led her to do what she loves”.

After closing that chapter, Jessica began working part-time at Ascent and full-time as a Facility Manager of a popular Orange County group fitness studio.  In 2021, her grandfather was diagnosed with a fatal and rare degenerative brain disorder. During this difficult experience, Jessica found her passion in holistic healing methods.
