Lauren Hill (she/her) is a Registered Acupuncturist with the Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of Nova Scotia (ACTMANS) and a graduate of the Acupuncture & East Asian Medicine program at the Autumn Institute of Health in Lower Sackville, NS where she was the recipient of the Rooted in Care award. Before becoming an acupuncturist, Lauren worked as an exercise therapist, kinesiologist, high school science and physical education teacher, and community outreach worker–experiences which gave her a deep appreciation and curiosity for the human body, movement, and resilience.

Lauren’s treatment approach is rooted in compassion and trauma-informed care with the belief that everyone deserves to feel good in their own body. Lauren often takes a somatic approach guiding her patients to arrive in the treatment room as they are—slow down, tune in and breathe with each needle. Any thoughts, feelings and sensations that may arise during treatments are always welcome. An acupuncture session with Lauren can also include moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, tuina, acupressure and meditation along with homecare around movement and food therapy. Lauren strives to provide a safe and inclusive space where consent is ongoing, and patients have autonomy over their own health.

Lauren can treat a wide range of health concerns including pain, sleep, digestion, menstrual health and stress management. Her special interest lies in supporting mental- emotional health and regulating the nervous system, particularly in the ways we hold and release tension in the body.

Outside the clinic, Lauren is a big nature girl—you’ll find her outdoors enjoying nature walks, camping, taking in a nice view or in a yoga studio moving her body in fun and intuitive ways. Lauren is known for her compassionate presence with a touch of goofiness; she brings warmth and ease into every treatment.
