Joel Hagstrom

Registered Acupuncturist

Hi, I’m Joel — it’s a pleasure to welcome you here.

I’m a Registered Acupuncturist, a partner, and a father. I believe acupuncture is a powerful tool—an ancient medicine that brings balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit in a world that is constantly shifting and challenging us.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your physical, emotional, and mental health concerns. Each session is uniquely tailored to where you are in the moment, with the intention of providing the most personalized and effective care possible.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been part of my life since 1999. It has supported my own healing journey through injuries, chronic pain, and internal health challenges—often with the help of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Over the years, I’ve explored a wide range of healing modalities, including ancestral practices and plant medicines, but I’ve always felt a deep connection to TCM—not just as a patient, but as a lifelong student of this tradition.

For more than a decade, I’ve worked in roles supporting children, youth, and more recently, adults who live with the impact of mental health challenges and substance use—often rooted in systemic inequities. These experiences have taught me lessons that no classroom could offer. They’ve helped me listen with an open heart and truly meet people where they are, in all of their complexity and strength.

I am deeply grateful to the teachers, elders, and knowledge keepers who have passed down these healing traditions—continuously evolving this medicine to help others.

I look forward to meeting you in person.
