Meet Dr. Kendra Heck
A Doctor of Acupuncture with over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Kendra Heck has a special interest in mental health, reproductive health and spiritual journeying.
Dr. Kendra‘s interest in life’s intricate connections first led her to a degree in Environmental and Conservation Science at the University of Alberta followed by a transition into the healing arts. While living in Japan, Dr. Kendra began her training in Qigong, Shiatsu and Tui Na massage, Japanese acupuncture as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Dr. Kendra continued her studies in Calgary, Alberta at the Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she later became an instructor.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Kendra creates textile art to bring together her love of nature, colour, and storytelling. Dr. Kendra enjoys quiet moments sitting in meditation, sipping coffee with a good book, and spending time outdoors with her family.
Meet Dr. Lindsay Morton
Dr. Lindsay is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a special interest in pain management, reproductive and hormone health.
Dr. Lindsay’s path to Chinese Medicine has been shaped by a deep commitment to lifelong learning and a genuine curiosity about the human experience. She began her career with a degree in Geology from the University of Calgary, followed by many years in resource exploration. Her transition into Acupuncture and TCM was a natural evolution toward work that allowed her to connect more deeply with people and contribute to their health and wellbeing.
Bringing together her background in Western scientific thinking and her training in TCM, Lindsay takes an integrative and thoughtful approach to care. She believes that meaningful treatment begins with truly understanding each individual including their health history, their unique needs, and the ways in which stress and life circumstances can influence the body. Her approach is both evidence informed and deeply personal, with treatments tailored to support each patient’s goals.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Lindsay can be found reading, fostering dogs, and embracing the challenge of becoming a trail runner, one trail at a time.
