Stacey Hess is a registered acupuncturist with over 12 years of experience helping people of all backgrounds and life experiences navigate pain, chronic conditions, and the weight of everyday life, while reconnecting with a sense of balance, calm and comfort in their bodies.

Before studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Stacey worked in mental health and developmental services, providing direct support to clients - experience that continues to shape how she shows up in her practice today. That background taught her the impact of genuine listening, meeting people where they are, and creating a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental space - the foundation of care for everyone she treats.

Stacey integrates the principles of TCM with modern scientific insights into stress, the nervous system, and lifestyle, bridging contemporary research with the time-tested, evidence-based wisdom of Chinese medicine. She sees acupuncture as a complementary tool in recovery - quietly supporting the body’s ability to regulate, settle, and heal, without force or overwhelm. Her treatments are gentle, collaborative, and guided by the client's consent and comfort. Each session is tailored to what the body can hold that day, whether the goal is pain relief, grounding, emotional steadiness, or nervous system regulation. After giving thousands of treatments, she has seen time and again the powerful shifts that happen through this medicine.
