Hi, I'm Hailey.

I know that trying acupuncture for the first time can feel a little unfamiliar, especially when you are already dealing with stress, pain, anxiety, or simply feeling worn down. My goal is to make the experience feel comfortable, approachable, and tailored to you.

I provide gentle, trauma-informed acupuncture for people experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, sleep disruption, physical tension, pain, digestive concerns, and nervous-system dysregulation.

My education in kinesiology, teaching, yoga, and Traditional Chinese Medicine allows me to combine acupuncture with a strong understanding of anatomy, movement, exercise physiology, and physical health. I am passionate about science and deeply curious about how the body’s different systems work together.

My style is calm, collaborative, and down-to-earth, with a healthy dose of humour. I explain what I am doing, listen carefully, and adjust treatment to your symptoms, goals, preferences, and comfort level. You remain in control throughout your appointment and will never be expected to discuss your trauma beyond what is necessary to provide safe care.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture uses very fine needles placed at carefully selected points based on your symptoms and treatment goals. These points stimulate sensory nerves and tissues, sending signals to the brain and spinal cord that may influence pain processing, muscle tension, circulation, and the body’s stress-response systems.

Would Weekly Acupuncture Help?

Some people benefit from weekly appointments, particularly when symptoms are persistent or during an intensive period of trauma-focused psychotherapy.

Weekly treatment may be worth considering for ongoing nervous-system activation, disrupted sleep, chronic tension, stress-related pain, or frequent anxiety. Regular appointments also allow us to monitor your response and adjust treatment over time.

Frequency is always individualized and can be reduced as your needs change.

How Our Integrated Model Works

Trauma can affect much more than thoughts and emotions. It can influence sleep, concentration, physical tension, pain, and the body’s ability to settle.

The clinic’s integrated model allows clients to combine evidence-based psychotherapy with acupuncture and myofascial massage when addressing both the psychological and physical effects of trauma would be helpful.

Acupuncture can also be booked completely independently. Some clients choose treatment before psychotherapy to help reduce tension and settle their nervous system, while others book afterward to help their body come down from demanding trauma work.

When appropriate, I may also provide brief auricular acupressure during an extended psychotherapy appointment to support self-regulation.

Integrated care does not mean everyone needs every service. Treatment is always individualized to your goals, symptoms, and preferences.

A Note from Maddi

"I think Hailey is brilliant. I am continually impressed by her understanding of the body and her genuine excitement for science. She is endlessly curious and wants to understand how and why something works—not simply apply a technique because that is how it has always been done.

She is thoughtful, conscientious, warm, funny, and remarkably good at helping anxious or skeptical clients feel comfortable. Hailey explains complex ideas clearly, welcomes questions, and brings confidence to her work without ever making people feel intimidated.

She is also deeply invested in our integrated model and thinks carefully about how acupuncture can complement psychotherapy. Her ability to help clients settle before, during, and after difficult sessions has strengthened our work immensely.

Beyond her clinical skill, Hailey brings kindness, integrity, curiosity, humour, and genuine care to the clinic. She has exceeded every expectation I had, and I genuinely do not know how I got so lucky to find her."
